HANGZHOU, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) –Xixi National Wetland Park, located on the outskirts of Hangzhou, is the first national wetland park in China.

With a total area of 11.5 square kilometers, it has helped to restore the local ecology.

During an inspection tour in Zhejiang Province, Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the park and stressed the importance of protecting wetland ecology and the aquatic environment.

Xixi Wetland was once under threat from overdevelopment in early 2000.

In 2003, with the advocacy and support of Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang provincial committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the protection project of Xixi Wetland was launched.

In 2004, staff of the former State Forestry Administration came to Xixi Wetland and proposed to establish a wetland park here.

It’s the first of its kind in China to protect the wetland and allow citizens to get closer to nature.

XINING, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) — Qinghai Province in northwest China, dubbed “the water tower of China,” is making headway in protecting its rich wetland resources through comprehensive efforts, with its wetland area and wildlife both increasing.
