Amidst rapid economic and technological growth, Chinese cities are placing a renewed emphasis on livability, ecology, and cultural preservation. Taizhou, a city in Jiangsu Province, exemplifies this trend through the revitalization of the Fengcheng River.
Once an ancient city moat, the Fengcheng River has been redeveloped into a vibrant urban water system. This transformation preserves the historical significance of the river while enhancing the ecological environment, providing residents with a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity.
This week, CGTN’s The Vibe is exploring cities like Taizhou through their moats, showcasing the country’s progress in urban development. The Fengcheng River serves as a shining example of how ancient infrastructure can be repurposed to meet contemporary needs without losing its cultural essence.
