RELEASE: Discover an eco-friendly China through the eyes of expats

BEIJING, Sept. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A People's Daily report:

In recent years, China has created miracles in both ecological conservation and green development, attracting global attention. Many foreign friends who live, work, study, or visit China have captured beautiful scenery around them through their cameras. The photos vividly record the achievements of China's green governance and green development.

Rolling mountains, vast bamboo forests, shimmering waters... Images of Zhongzhang Village in Anji County, east China's Zhejiang Province, captured through the lens of Peter Rich, winner of the the South African Pathway to Excellence in Architecture, ooze tranquility and beauty.

Rich was drawn to the scenic splendor when he first visited Anji. As the birthplace of the Chinese philosophy that "lucent waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", Anji treasures its green scenery as its greatest wealth.

"Every time I come to Anji, I feel intoxicated by the ecological environment, feel far away from the clamor of the city, and achieve inner peace," he said.

In Li'ao village, on the eastern foothills of Siming Mountain, Ningbo, Zhejiang province, more than 300 households have solar panels installed on their rooftops, which always shine in the sunlight. This solar project was jointly built by Ningbo Electric Power Supply Company of State Grid, the local government and photovoltaic companies. It grants villagers a certain amount of free electricity each year and generates additional collective income by selling the surplus power it generates.

Rogelio from Brazil has lived and worked in China for over a decade. He told People's Daily that he was delighted with the harmony between man and nature when he saw the drone image of him. "Over the past ten years, I have seen the ecological environment around me improve more and more, the scenery more and more beautiful. I hope more people can come to China to see what is happening in the country," he said.

This photo shows how the natural landscape and urban architectures blend harmoniously into one in Guangzhou Science City, south China's Guangdong province. The banyan trees along the riverbank cast cool shadows. The photo was captured by Peter Helis, a German who works for the Guangzhou Development Zone, while jogging along a river in the city in the morning.

"The city's beautiful setting allows residents to better recharge their energy for work and life," Helis said.

Having lived in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area for nearly 20 years, Helis is very familiar with the development and changes there. In another of her works, taken in a park in Guangzhou's Huangpu district, a red-whiskered bulbul enjoys a sumptuous breakfast of berries.

"In recent years, China has made remarkable achievements in ecological governance. There have been great improvements in water quality and protection of wildlife habitats. Many birds come to the Greater Bay Area in autumn and winter." Helis said. He currently works on global investment promotion for the Guangzhou Development Zone.

"My work and my life are centered in China. I hope I can continue working here until I retire. I love China."

In Huangling Village, Wuyuan County, East China's Jiangxi Province, the local government has promoted the development of eco-tourism by taking advantage of ecological resources and other advantages, embarking on a path of integrated industrial development. Huangling is a mountainous town, so the villagers often dry grain on their rooftops. The assorted crops drying in the round winnowing baskets resemble a series of open umbrellas, creating a lively and friendly scene.

This photo was taken by Sarah Mary De Meillon, a South African student studying at Huaqiao University's College of Chinese Language and Culture. This cheerful South African gave herself a beautiful Chinese name: "Huang Mei Gui", which means yellow rose. He has also been to many scenic spots in China before, such as Huating Lake in Anhui Province and Yundang Lake in Xiamen, Fujian Province.

"China's lucid waters and lush mountains are really very beautiful! I have really felt China's efforts in ecological environment protection and governance," he said.

The photo shows splendid and scenic fields in Tekes County, Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The photo was taken by Ng Pin Xiu, a Malaysian student at the Central South University School of Civil Engineering.
