One click "beauty" on the streets and alleys
The previous Jiangling Road was not only narrow but also bumpy, covered in dirt on sunny days and mud on rainy days, with schools nearby, making it inconvenient to travel. The problem of muddy and bumpy weather on sunny days once made Feng Guizhi, a resident of Zizhuyuan Community on Jiangling Road in Baohe District, Hefei City, suffer unbearable hardships.
"Now this place is completely new, and our mood is particularly relaxed!" Feng Guizhi said excitedly. On the newly built Jiangling Road, Feng Guizhi told reporters about the problems that once existed on Jiangling Road. Along Jiangling Road, located next to the Lingdatang Linggong Distribution Center in the South Second Ring Road of Hefei City, there are residents of multiple residential areas such as Jiangqi Yicun, Sancun, and Lingjiangyuan, as well as Huizhou Primary School in Hefei City. It is a necessary route for nearby residents to commute, purchase, and for students to and from school. However, with the aging of the road, the cement pavement is severely damaged, and rainy days have accumulated water and poor drainage, which brings many inconveniences to the surrounding residents for travel.
Before the renovation, weeds were overgrown on both sides of Jiangling Road
The renovated Jiangling Road has been completely renovated
In response to the strong feedback from residents on road conditions, environmental issues, and other issues, in November last year, Baohe District, in conjunction with multiple departments within its jurisdiction, carried out renovations on roads, drainage, outdated walls on both sides, and damaged and peeled walls, covering an area of 10689 square meters. The project will replace the damaged cement road with asphalt road, and the previously private vegetable planting area on the roadside will be leveled and transformed into more than 100 parking spaces, as well as a residential leisure and fitness corridor next to the walls of Huizhou Primary School We used the abandoned urban industrial railway tracks to renovate and upgrade, and painted the sleepers in color. Real scale train wheels were placed on the tracks, making this a popular spot for nearby photography. Li Jie, a law enforcement officer from the Urban Management Department of Changqing Street, Baohe District, Hefei City, pointed to a section of colored railway tracks on the roadside and told reporters.
The reporter saw on site that after renovation and construction, the previously dilapidated road surface is now flat and open. Currently, the environmental sanitation and residents' travel along Jiangling Road have greatly improved, greatly enhancing the sense of gain, happiness, and security of the people.
Coincidentally, recently, Zhou Changjun, a citizen living in Zone B of Guangfu Garden in Hefei, told reporters, "After renovation, the exterior walls of the residential building have been completely renovated, garbage has been taken care of, and the weeds in front and back of the house have been removed. The environment is getting better and better."
The changes in the community environment have brought real happiness to residents. According to Wu Xiaoming, Minister of Safety and Construction Department of Changqing Street, Hefei City, Guangfu Garden is divided into two districts, A and B, with a total of 27 residential buildings and 2898 households. The community has been under construction for 13 years since 2010. The street has carried out overall improvement and renovation to address issues such as the detachment of external wall insulation, damage and deformation of domestic sewage pipelines, and degradation of residential green spaces. At the same time, a new basketball court and fitness equipment area have been built in the community. Nowadays, strolling through the renovated community, rows of beautiful unit buildings, flat and unobstructed roads, and clean and tidy leisure areas allow residents to truly feel the welcome changes brought about by environmental improvement.

The puzzle park is meticulously crafted
For Shen Fengyun, who lives in Wangdaying Community, Tong'an Street, Hefei City, taking his child for a walk around has become a habit as long as the weather allows. "In the past, there were no 'conditions' and we could only go to distant places on weekends to take our children outdoors for fun. Now, there is a' jigsaw puzzle park 'right at our doorstep, where we can take our children out for relaxation and walks anytime and anywhere, providing us with another' good place '." Shen Fengyun praised the' jigsaw puzzle park 'at his doorstep.
Wangdaying Idle Land at the Intersection of Wanluoshan Road and Zhide Road in Tong'an Street
After renovation, Wang Daying's idle land has been transformed into a heartwarming square amusement park, known as the "troublesome garbage dump"
The Puzzle Park in Shen Fengyun's mouth is located at the intersection of Wanluoshan Road and Zhide Road in Hefei, covering an area of about 9500 square meters with a total investment of 5 million yuan. It adopts the design concept of embedding small parks in large communities under current urban construction nationwide, and transforms the previously abandoned dead corners into new leisure areas. "This used to be an idle land, belonging to the 'three no's' area. Many residents casually dumped their household waste inside, which was once turned into a' garbage dump '. Zhang Tao, a member of the urban management law enforcement team of Tong'an Street in Baohe District, Hefei, told reporters that this area began to be renovated starting from March this year.". At present, in addition to some finishing work, "Puzzle Park" has officially started "opening the door to welcome guests". "It is expected that in just over a month, all facilities in the park will be fully renovated, achieving green windows for surrounding residents to see, going out and entering the park, and exercising nearby." Zhang Tao said.
In Baohe, "seeing greenery through the window, entering the park outside, and exercising nearby" is gradually being realized.
The Yan'an Road Amusement Park, located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Baohe Avenue and Yan'an Road, was once a "background forest" along urban roads with a single green vegetation. In 2022, while maximizing the preservation of on-site vegetation, Baohe District will reshape the space and create a forest oxygen bar with aviation culture as the theme. Combining micro terrain design with children's activity areas, a multi-functional leisure park will be created. Similarly, the Xinda Tianyu Amusement Park located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Guangfu Road and Xidi Road, although not large in size, has a complete range of facilities such as amusement plazas, pavilions, fitness equipment, and children's playground, making it a good place for nearby residents to relax and entertain.
A good ecological environment is the most inclusive welfare for people's livelihoods. "In recent years, we have taken the construction of the 'Park City' as the starting point, and have done a deep and detailed job in 'green articles'. Through methods such as planting green in gaps, restoring green along the line, and three-dimensional greening, we have created a number of green ecological products that residents can get close to and perceive. The relevant person in charge of Baohe District said that currently, Baohe District has formed a preliminary distribution pattern of urban parks in the form of" Wi Fi ", including the urban park landscape belt, the high-pressure corridor landscape belt, the railway landscape belt, and the Chaohu Lake landscape belt.".
According to statistics, as of the end of 2022, Baohe District has built a total of 100 types of parks and parks, including 25 parks, 30 parks, and 45 pocket parks. The urban green coverage rate has reached 45.8%, and the per capita park green area is 14.67 square meters.
"The city prospers the people. The people are the foundation of the city."
Ensuring that the people live steadily, live in peace, and have a bright future is the core element, and it is also the foundation and cornerstone of happiness. "Baohe is not only a highland for development, but also a highland for people's livelihoods. With greater efforts and more practical measures, we will solve the most concerning, direct, and realistic interests of the people, and make every happiness' resounding '! At the" Two Rectifications and Four Cohesion "conference held in Baohe District in January this year, Cheng Xuetao, member of the Standing Committee of the Hefei Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Baohe District Party Committee, made a warm statement on people's livelihood issues.".
Since January this year, Baohe District has launched a comprehensive special action to improve urban and rural environmental sanitation, carrying out a comprehensive "sweeping" of the entire area of Feihe Town and Dawu Town, as well as the main and secondary roads, high-speed railways, highways, urban rail transit stations, high-speed railway south stations, bus passenger stations, construction sites, demolition sites, areas to be demolished, idle land, residential communities and other important nodes.
"The next step is to shift from focusing on rectification to overall improvement, comprehensively extending the scope of rectification, and spreading to dirty and disorderly areas such as back streets and alleys, residential communities, and urban villages. We will put in a lot of 'embroidery work' to make the Baohe River withstand a distant view and withstand scrutiny." The relevant person in charge of Baohe District stated.
