In 2020, Lanzhou City announced the "Detailed Control Plan for the Qingshi Area in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City", which positions the functions of the Qingshi Area as: exquisite Lanzhou Human Settlement Environment Demonstration Area, Ecological City Style Display Area, and Humanistic City Wisdom Experience Area. These three functional positioning represent the high standard positioning and trend direction of Lanzhou's new urbanization development.
In 2012, Country Garden Group became the first developer to enter the Qingbaishi area, which opened the prelude to the urbanization development of Qingbaishi. After 9 years of development, Country Garden Group has built a brand new city in Qingbaishi, which was once surrounded by barren mountains and ravines, with scientific and orderly planning and strong development strength. Now aerial photography of the whole of Lanzhou again, here is undoubtedly the most eye-catching pearl in the city.
Traffic roads are the foundation of urban spatial development and the bloodline of the extension of new urbanization. A river stretches from east to west, and the Yellow River runs through the city in Lanzhou, bringing scenery and tenderness to the city, but also isolating many areas on the north bank of the Yellow River from the mainstream of urban modernization. To build a new city on the north bank of the Yellow River, we must first solve the traffic problems across the Yellow River.
In 2013, the Construction of the Yanbai Yellow River Bridge, invested 1 billion yuan by Country Garden Group, was completed and opened to traffic in 2016. Yanbai Yellow River Bridge takes the "Fengwu New City" as the design concept, and solves the large height difference of 133 meters between the north and south banks in the form of three spiral climbs, and a bridge flying frame runs through the Qingbaishi and Yantan areas. After the completion of the bridge, Qingbaishi and Lanzhou South Binhe Road, Yanshi Highway, North Ring Road to form a traffic interconnection, only 5 minutes to reach Yantan, only 15 minutes into the city center, greatly improving the traffic situation in yantan area, but also completely ended the history of Qingbaishi and Yantan across the river.
The breakthrough development of each region has its key constraints to choke the bottleneck, and for Qingbaishi is transportation. After Lanzhou Country Garden took the lead in breaking the situation with the Yanbai Yellow River Bridge, large real estate enterprises followed and entered, setting off a grand chapter in lanzhou's new urbanization construction on the north bank of the Yellow River. In the "Detailed Control Plan for the Qingshi Area of Chengguan District of Lanzhou City" released in 2020, the functions of the Qingshi Area are positioned as: exquisite Lanzhou Human Settlement Environment Demonstration Area, Ecological City Style Display Area, and Humanistic City Wisdom Experience Area. These three functional positioning represent the high standard positioning and trend direction of Lanzhou's new urbanization development.
Today, five years after the completion and opening of the Yanbai Yellow River Bridge, there have been new changes in the mode of transportation from the main urban area of Lanzhou to the Qingbaishi area. In addition, the planned Yanqing Yellow River Bridge and Lanzhou Rail Transit Line 2 connecting Dongfanghong Square to Yanbai Bridge will further narrow the distance between the Qingbaishi area and the main urban area of Lanzhou, and the effect of urban integration and regional integration will greatly realize the urban development of Lanzhou.

On September 26, Gansu Traffic Radio FM103.5 released a road traffic information. "Due to the transformation of the interchange station of Metro Line 2, China Railway Seventh Bureau Rail Company carried out large-scale enclosure construction on yanyuan road and yanbei road, and the construction period was from September 27, 2021 to May 30, 2022... Vehicles passing through the construction section of Yanyuan Road from east to west can detour from under the Country Garden Bridge to South Binhe Road or detour from Yanxing Road and Yandong Road to Yantan Road; Vehicles in the construction section of Country Garden to Yanyuan Road can detour from North Ring Road and Yanshi Highway. ”
If you are driving on the streets of Lanzhou and open a radio to listen to road traffic information, you may hear the announcer frequently mention the "Yanbai Yellow River Bridge" and "Bluestone Interchange" and other road information. These seemingly ordinary roads actually represent the development and change of Lanzhou's urban space and witness the transformation of Lanzhou city. Behind this, there is also a Guangdong real estate enterprise - Country Garden figure, since entering Lanzhou in 2012, Country Garden has participated in the construction of Lanzhou's new urbanization, resonating with the same frequency as the city.
In October 2012, the Lanzhou Municipal Government and Country Garden Group signed a "aircraft carrier-class" large order of more than 50 billion yuan. According to the cooperation agreement, Country Garden Group will spend more than 30 billion yuan and more than 20 billion yuan respectively to cooperate with Chengguan District and New District to create "Lanzhou New City" and new district landmarks. Today, Lanzhou Country Garden has been built into a model of well-equipped living environment. 100 acres of phoenix garden, street center park, sports park and children's park have been built; Lanzhou Country Garden School has been put into use in 2016, and the Country Garden Branch of Overseas Chinese Experimental School has also opened. Lanzhou Country Garden Phase III is equipped with 3 primary and secondary schools, 1 high school and 6 kindergartens, and the first, second and third phases will form a school scale of 6 primary and secondary schools and 10 kindergartens in total, meeting the educational needs of the whole age group and becoming the most complete area of educational resources in Chengguan District. As a supporting facility of Lanzhou Country Garden Phase III, the top three hospitals are already in the excavation of the foundation pit. The hospital covers a total area of 28,000 square meters, with a total of 500 beds and a total investment of 300 million yuan, mainly composed of outpatient clinics, emergency departments, medical technology, inpatient departments and rehabilitation physiotherapy. After the completion of the hospital, it will serve the residents of Lanzhou Country Garden and Qingbaishi area, and the high-quality medical facilities will also bring better medical conditions.
The integration of commercial development and industry and city is also an important theme of new urbanization construction. In 2020, Shanshan Outlet Plaza, a large commercial complex only one kilometer away from Lanzhou Country Garden, opened, integrating shopping, catering and entertainment as one of the "town" commercial formats, which not only enriched the leisure consumption life of Lanzhou citizens, but also greatly facilitated the owners of Lanzhou Country Garden across the water. Shanshan Outlets attracts residents in the central urban area to the new city for consumption and entertainment, which is a new model for the commercial development of new urbanization.
At the same time, Jincheng Yunding, a large-scale commercial complex planned within the Lanzhou Country Garden project, is under construction and is expected to be delivered in 2022. Jincheng Yunding Planning integrates elite business office buildings, community SHOPPING MALL, boutique business hotels, large supermarkets, etc., and is an urban complex project with large scale, complete business format, rich business and high-end supporting facilities on the north bank of the Yellow River.
From a bridge to a city, the development and construction of Country Garden Group in Qingbaishi, Lanzhou has explored a new model of urban space expansion and new urbanization construction in Lanzhou. The construction of new urbanization is not only a new urban space that takes people as the goal and puts people first, realizing the combination of human settlement environment, ecological city and smart community.
