Qingdao's Jimo revitalizes urban waterways for greener city

(chinadaily.com.cn) | 2026-06-23

In recent years, Qingdao's Jimo district has embraced ecological restoration as a core part of its urban renewal. By focusing on the Moshui River, Longquan Lake, and Huanxiu Lake, the district has implemented a series of comprehensive projects to improve the water quality and enhance the surrounding environment.

Key measures include dredging waterways, restoring natural landscapes, and increasing green spaces along the banks. These efforts have significantly improved the water ecology and created a more pleasant and livable environment for residents. The once-neglected river and lake areas have been transformed into scenic spots where people can stroll, relax, and connect with nature.

Jimo's approach reflects a broader commitment to green development, balancing urban growth with ecological protection. The improved waterways not only beautify the city but also support biodiversity and offer residents a better quality of life.
