The rebirth of a river can not only change the living environment of a city, but also activate the new impetus for urban development. At present, this kind of change is taking place in the lower reaches of the Licun River. On April 16, the reporter visited and found that since the start of the comprehensive management and development and construction of the ecological environment in the Licun River basin last year, the renovation project in the lower reaches of the Licun River is being promoted in an orderly manner, and the prototype of the "elastic and natural ecological corridor" has appeared, and the project strives to be open to the public in May.

A 150-meter-long pedestrian bridge is erected across the river, which is suitable for both viewing and passingAt present, the spring flowers are blooming, and the banks of the Licun River are already red and willow green, which is a good spring scenery. "It's only been a long time since I've passed here, the Licun River has changed a lot, and the environment is really getting better and better!" Standing on the bridge across the Licun River on Junfeng Road and looking west, Ms. Wang, a citizen, couldn't help but sigh when she saw the busy reconstruction project of the lower reaches of the Licun River.
Reshaping the island in the middle of the river
Taking advantage of the good spring, the comprehensive ecological environment management project of the Licun River Basin is also in full swing and is being stepped up. On April 16, the reporter walked into the construction site from an entrance of the Junfeng Road-Chongqing Middle Road section of the Licun River, which is a model section of the Licun River Basin governance, with a total length of about 0.7 kilometers.
At the construction site, the workers have an orderly division of labor and are stepping up construction. On a vacant lot on the south side of the riverbank, a building with a spiral ramp staircase is undergoing internal decoration, the on-site construction personnel introduced, this is a children's station, the interior is equipped with children's reading area, activity area and parent-child space, etc., at the same time, in order to meet the children's curiosity and exploration nature, you can go from the internal spiral ramp to the top platform of the children's station.
Children's station under construction
"The children's station is not designed in isolation, but is connected to a pedestrian bridge across the river. He Jianglong, the relevant person in charge of the project, said as he walked. Under his guidance, the reporter saw that the Licun River in front of him was very different from the scene of siltation and overgrown weeds in the previous river, after cleaning up more than 47,000 cubic meters of silt at the bottom of the river, the river became very wide, and in the river, the thick bridge pillars were arranged along the arc, and there were large cranes and other equipment on the north bank of the river being piled for construction.
He Jianglong introduced that these pillars are to erect a pedestrian bridge across the river, "these are prefabricated buildings, with a length of 150 meters, after completion, the public can cross the river from the top platform of the children's station, leading to the viewing plank road on the north side of the riverbank, so as to realize the barrier-free passage of residents on both sides of the river." He Jianglong said that the reason why the cross-river viewing pedestrian bridge was chosen in the form of "crossing the river", on the one hand, it was to consider the flood discharge situation, and on the other hand, it could also greatly improve the convenience of viewing, "There is an island in the middle of the river, the vegetation on the island is dense, and there are waterfowl inhabiting, standing on the bridge can take a glance at the harmonious scene of the river ecology." He Jianglong said.
The reporter learned that in order to protect habitat resources and maintain the true nature, in the comprehensive ecological environment management project of the Licun River Basin, all kinds of trees that originally grew along the river have been well preserved and resettled, and the current ecological base has been preserved and retained as much as possible. At the same time, in order to enrich the diversity of animals and plants along the river, the riverbank environment is also renovated and ecologically restored through permeable pavement such as gravel and local materials such as old wood, so as to create six types of forest bird habitats and create a waterfront space with beautiful green scenery and ecological diversity.
Citizen's post under construction
When the reporter was interviewing at the scene, egrets and other water birds flew overhead from time to time, some slowly stopped on the water, and some flew into the dense vegetation of the island in the middle of the river. He Jianglong introduced that in the past, the lower reaches of the Licun River had problems such as irregular shoreline and poor landscape lighting effect due to the lack of systematic treatment; in addition, the silt accumulation caused the riverbed to continue to rise, resulting in continuous flood control dangers in the rainy season and flood season, which had a great impact on the travel safety of surrounding residents. Today, that's gone.
"In the process of governance, we insist on the smooth flow of the river and the clean water, and the river background, and the whole project will complete about 170,000 cubic meters of river dredging work to meet the requirements of flood control once in a century and ensure the safety of urban water. He Jianglong said that they also combined with the concept of sponge city construction, the river has been moderately transformed, forming six forms of bank protection, such as the stepped hydrophilic shoreline and the grassy slope shoreline, to achieve a flexible water system, and by improving the underwater plant community, improve the self-purification capacity of the river water body, and gradually build a green ecological corridor with "smooth river and clear water".
The water city integrates with people and water, and improves the function of the riverside cityThe water city is integrated, the people and the water are harmonious, and it is the people who ultimately benefit. This concept is best illustrated by a park under construction on the river near Chongqing Middle Road. In the huge park in front of you, there are not only park stations, basketball courts, children's sand pits, public toilets, etc., but also combined with the actual needs of the surrounding Li Village Daji, a parking lot with 149 parking spaces is planned and set up, and the understory space in the woods has also been fully utilized, which is convenient for the public to enjoy the cool rest.
The reporter learned that the comprehensive ecological environment management project of the Licun River Basin firmly grasps the focus of "benefiting the people's livelihood and warming the hearts of the people", and while improving the basic functions and enhancing the natural experience, it is also improving the functions of the riverside city and making up for the shortcomings of the current situation in the region. With the advancement of the project, the construction of Lianhuashan Road, Binhe Road, Shangqiu Road and Bridge and the ramp of the cross-sea bridge will also be carried out around the Licun River, and the new and renovated riverside greenway will be provided to provide a slow traffic system connecting the two sides of the river to form a smooth and safe transportation system. In the waterfront area, three types of theme nodes will be added: leisure garden, children's amusement, and nature study, providing a "full-age, full-time, and comprehensive" vitality space to better meet the diversified needs of the masses and allow them to experience nature and enjoy ecology.
It will be unveiled and will be open to the public in May this yearAs an important ecological river in the central urban area of Qingdao, the Licun River has a wide hinterland, connecting mountains and seas, and is also the "aorta" of urban development. Since the comprehensive improvement of Licun River was launched in 2009, after more than ten years of continuous struggle, the former "smelly water ditch" has long been transformed into the most beautiful landscape river in the main urban area, and Licun River has also become a beautiful ecological business card, which has won the "Chinese Habitat Environment Model Award" of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, as well as the model river channel of long-term governance and long-term clean water body remediation, at the end of 2022, it was awarded the "Beautiful and Happy Demonstration River and Lake of Shandong Province", and in 2023, it was awarded the "Huaihe Model" of Happy River and Lake, and was selected as the second batch of excellent cases of beautiful rivers and lakes in the country.
At present, this 17-kilometer "gold belt" and "green belt" will add to the color. The reporter learned that since the start of the comprehensive management and development and construction of the ecological environment in the Licun River Basin last year, on the one hand, it has continuously promoted the "5 + 5" ten major projects, that is, the implementation of flood control, sewage interception, roads, bridges, pipelines five types of infrastructure construction projects and water environment treatment, ecological restoration, functional lighting, supporting facilities, demolition of illegal and disorderly five types of functional improvement projects; on the other hand, the integration of multi-dimensional planning such as aboveground and underground, ecology and industry, space and function in the Licun River Basin has been promoted in an all-round way, and the three-dimensional urban "green belt" has been created Forerunner. Today, the prototype of Lihe Village, a "resilient and natural ecological corridor", has emerged, and the project aims to be ready for opening to the public in May this year, when it will continue to improve the happiness index of residents around the basin.
