Embroidering "Green Beauty" into the Blueprint Why is Guangdong "worth" this green color? Green | Guangdong | Green Beauty
In the scorching summer of July, on Jinniu Island in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, amidst the ebb and flow of tides, patches of mangrove forests resemble scattered green gemstones embedded in the shallow sea. When we reached a water poor place, we saw egrets fluttering around - mangroves that had quietly disappeared in many corners of the earth, but now we have found a paradise for their reproduction in Lingnan, China.
Zhanjiang Mangrove Forest
He emphasized that this mangrove forest is a "national treasure" and should be protected as well as the eyes. We must adhere to green development, work from generation to generation, and work hard for a long time to build a beautiful China and make Chinese contributions to protecting the global village.
For future generations, for long-term planning. Playing this green development game well among the mountains and waters of Lingnan, Guangdong is in high spirits, holding up the game and continuously striving for top-level design. Recently, the "Several Opinions on High quality Development in Guangdong in the New Era" proposed to integrate ecological civilization construction into various fields throughout the entire process of reform and development in the province. "Ecological priority" has now become an important part of Guangdong's overall goal of anchoring "leading the way" and has been consistently implemented.
Embroidering "green beauty" into the development blueprint, Guangdong is showcasing the "green responsibility" of a large economic province, and drawing on what more profound "green considerations"?
Seeking "Depth" from Green
Pushing the window to see green has a deeper meaning
Just a few days ago, the newly revised Guangdong Province Forest Protection and Management Regulations were officially implemented. Detailed regulations have been made on how to deal with damage to ancient and famous trees, ranging from improving the level of legalization in forest protection and management.
After 26 years of revision, the more refined protection regulations reflect a new shift in the ecological concept of Guangdong's more precise efforts in planting, protecting, and expanding greenery.
The most distinctive labels of Guangdong are "the largest province in the economy" and "the largest province in the manufacturing industry". However, from the perspective of meteorological satellites, the the Pearl River surges down and the the Nanling Mountain Mountains are magnificent. The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is also covered in lush green. Guangdong is also an ecological Lingnan and forest province with "seven mountains, one water and two fields".
How to ensure the coexistence of "primitive forests" and "urban forests" while ensuring high-quality urban development, without the phenomenon of "people entering forests and retreating"?
"The construction of a green and beautiful Guangdong is proposed from a higher perspective, which is to further consolidate the green background on the original basis, develop in depth, and no longer limited to 'quantity', but to improve the overall quality of ecological construction work." Chen Junguang, Director of the Forestry Bureau of Guangdong Province, said that the vision of a green and beautiful Guangdong is no longer limited to the lush trees and trees, but focuses on the lush forest as a whole; No longer focusing solely on improving the "green content", but implementing precise forest quality improvement actions from a more macro perspective to address issues such as overall low forest quality and poor structural stability, and cultivating stable, healthy, high-quality, and efficient forest ecosystems.
Guangzhou urban area
At the same time, finding the right combination of ecological protection and economic and social development has become the key to solving the problem in Guangdong. From the Decision of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Deepening the Ecological Construction of Green and Beautiful Guangdong, which was reviewed and approved in December last year, to the "Deepening the Ecological Construction of Green and Beautiful Guangdong" proposed in this year's Guangdong Provincial Government Work Report, the direction of Guangdong's high-level planning and promotion of ecological civilization construction has become increasingly clear.
"Many villages and towns in Guangdong have abundant mountain and forestry resources, but lack qualified governance and management entities, resulting in weak overall development of the forestry economy." Duan Wei, Secretary General of the Forestry Economy and Carbon Sequestration Special Committee of the Guangdong Forestry Society, said that after the proposal of green and beautiful Guangdong ecological construction, the forestry economy of most villages and towns in Guangdong has been planned and managed. Under coordinated planning, it is expected to usher in an "explosive period" of development. Based on the current 142 million mu of forest land in Guangdong, if two-thirds of it is used to store "green mountains and clear waters" and one-third is used for modern forestry development, nearly 50 million mu of forest land can become the "green engine" for high-quality development in Guangdong.
Ten years to sharpen one's "green"
Green is also the foundation for development
This photo was taken in another city, Jiangmen, 50 kilometers away from Guangzhou. You can clearly see the Guangzhou Tower, which indicates that Guangdong has good air quality and high visibility. At the end of last year, the three regions of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao jointly held the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Global Investment Conference for the first time. In addition to economic departments, Xu Xiaoxia, the Party Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, unexpectedly appeared in the conference presentation to promote Guangdong's ecological environment to global merchants. Using the ecological environment as a selling point for investment promotion is not commonly seen in the nationwide investment boom.

At the beginning, Xu Xiaoxia used the form of "jumping out of Guangzhou and looking at Guangzhou" to allow guests to intuitively experience the transformation of atmospheric environment governance in the Greater Bay Area. To experience the ecological and environmental changes in Guangdong in recent years, it is also necessary to step out of Guangdong and compare and observe from a national perspective.
Once upon a time, Guangdong carried 8.9% of the country's permanent population and 10.9% of its total economy with 1.9% of its national land area, causing pollution loads far exceeding its environmental carrying capacity. This highlights the importance of ecological environment construction in Guangdong.
Behind the visible Guangzhou Tower lies an invisible governance perseverance.
Guangdong is the earliest province in China to establish a regional joint prevention and control mechanism and a joint conference system for regional air pollution prevention and control. It is the first to promote joint prevention and control among cities in the Pearl River Delta and coordinate the promotion of air pollution in the Pearl River Delta.
Thanks to long-term efforts, last year the average concentration of PM2.5 in Guangdong province dropped to 20 micrograms per cubic meter, and the average concentration of PM2.5 in the Pearl River Delta took the lead in entering the "first tier" among the "three major economic circles" in China.
Guangdong Forest Firefly
The recently issued "Several Opinions on the High quality Development of Guangdong in the New Era" has made Guangdong's attitude even more clear: not only should it continue to carry out "green beauty" to the end, but also leverage the concept of green beauty to penetrate into industries such as industry, construction, and transportation, and implement and achieve green and low-carbon transformation throughout the entire industry.
Nowadays, the spot trading scale of Guangzhou Carbon Emission Trading Center has ranked first in the national pilot program for ten consecutive years. Through financial means, Guangdong has also explored a new path of turning green into gold by tapping into the value of forest carbon sinks. In the carbon inclusive pilot areas of Guangdong Province, the emission reductions generated by low-carbon behaviors such as scientific afforestation and forest protection to increase green carbon sinks have been allowed to be integrated into the carbon trading market.
The spillover effect of mechanism first and governance innovation is increasingly being transformed into the most inclusive welfare and economic development dividend in the ecological environment governance process of Guangdong: the atmospheric environment quality continues to lead the country, and the water environment quality of important lakes and reservoirs remains excellent year-round Guangdong has shown a "good ecological brand", empowering "gold content" with "green content", and frequently excels in optimizing the business environment and attracting enterprises to come from afar. Today, green has become a new background for Guangdong's development, deeply integrated into the vivid practice of high-quality development.
Seeking kinetic energy from green
Anchoring the Future Industry with "Green Beauty" and Pursuing "Breaking the Circle"
Not long ago, the Wanlu Lake in Heyuan, Guangdong, known as the "backyard of the Bay Area," welcomed the opening of fishing. More than 50 fishing boats set sail out of the lake and returned with a full load on the same day. Tourists from all over the country shared the joy of this bountiful harvest with chopsticks.
Fishing in Wanlv Lake
Unlike traditional aquaculture, most of the fish caught here come from the proliferation and release during the fishing ban period, and the key role is that "fish" are not in "fishing": no feed is added, people release them for natural cultivation, and fish are used to purify water, maximizing the function of fish in ecological restoration of the water environment and enhancing the self purification ability of the water body.
There is less "man conquers nature" and more "Dao follows nature". Seemingly casual, it is actually an important shift in the concept of ecological development in Guangdong in recent years.
It is green all the year round and everywhere. There are very few ecotourism areas located at the edge of cities in China. They have maintained high-quality water sources for decades and nourished southern Guangdong with a bay of clean water... For the whole of Guangdong, the Wanlu Lake is "The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting". However, the local economic and social development cannot be limited to greenness: the optimization and maintenance of the environment have also promoted the flourishing of various forms of ecotourism, including the "fishing festival". The ecological exploration by the banks of Wanlv Lake has shown people a new exploration in Guangdong's green and beautiful ecological construction: the way of nature nourishes all things and finds development opportunities from protecting nature. How to connect green mountains and clear waters is an effective transformation channel for mountains of gold and silver, which has become the most profound consideration in Guangdong's green and beautiful construction today.
Shantou Nan'ao Wind Power
In July, the sea breeze in the Nan'ao area of Shantou swept by, and dozens of typhoon generators lined up neatly in the vast expanse of blue waves. The white fan blades turned against the wind, instantly converting the gusts of sea breeze into clean electricity and delivering it to thousands of households. In the coastal areas of Guangdong, such offshore wind power projects stretch for thousands of miles, almost building a white sea barrier.
In this province with the longest coastline and widest sea area in China, offshore wind power is just a microcosm of it. Taking advantage of the trend, batches of zero carbon smart factories and parks in the Greater Bay Area have emerged like mushrooms after rain, while green factories, which are industry leaders, continue to extend upstream and downstream, leading to a whole green and low-carbon industrial chain. Guangdong is exploring the path with "green" and nurturing the next trillion level industry.
Throughout this green transformation that has occurred on the land of southern Guangdong, not only is the wind and light infinitely good, but also on the path of industrial development, it is full of "green" vitality, demonstrating strong industrial vitality. Vibrant vitality: As of now, Guangdong has established a total of 304 national level green factories, 11 green industrial parks, 59 green supply chain management enterprises, and the total number of green manufacturing lists ranks first in the country. Guided by the green and beautiful Guangdong, we will continue to promote industrial transformation and upgrading.
People will not betray the green mountains, and the green mountains will not betray them. Choosing between green mountains and clear waters for development, Guangdong leverages green energy to drive future industries and embroiders "green beauty" into its development blueprint. Guangdong, "value" this green.
