Looking at the Yangtze River | Chongqing: The Beautiful Butterfly Transformation Ecology of Guangyang Island | Chongqing | Guangyang Island
Guangyang Island is the largest ecological island in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. In the leisurely summer, scenery is everywhere here. Before 2016, this area was designated as a key development area, with a planned real estate development volume of over 3 million square meters. Under bulldozers, the original ecosystem on the island was damaged.
In January 2016, the symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt was held in Chongqing.Guangyang Island welcomes a new life.

The water area where Guangyang Island is located is a national nature reserve for rare and unique fish species in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Starting from January 2020, productive fishing will be completely prohibited here. At that time, former fisherman Zhang Yonggang "landed" and became an ecological security guard. His main responsibility is to protect the animals and plants on the island from damage. He said he is very happy to become an ecological protector now.
The Guangyang Island Incident has become a vivid practice of "green mountains and clear waters are like mountains of gold and silver" in the land of Chongqing, leading and driving the ecological improvement of the Yangtze River in Chongqing. The beautiful ecological environment here also attracts the accelerated gathering of talents, funds, and technology. The Nan'an District of Chongqing, where it is located, is rising to become a highland for intelligent industries. The increasingly improved ecology of the Yangtze River is also giving back to the people who protect it.
