Three new parks have opened in the city, giving residents more space for relaxation and activities. More than 100 businesses, including Korean supermarket H Mart, have also moved here, giving residents more options for shopping and dining nearby.

She also hopes to promote arts centers to integrate the arts into the daily lives of residents and provide the community with additional spaces for gathering and communication. As for the city center that residents are looking forward to, the city government has done a lot of preparatory work, and said it will continue to push forward the plan. Speaking about the support given by voters, Hu Xin said: “We will not betray their trust and will continue to work hard and do good for everyone wholeheartedly.”
