Protecting cultural legacy
During
this visit, President Xi visited cultural and historical landmarks in
the city of Chaozhou, including an ancient bridge, an ancient gate tower
and a street lined with ancient archways, to check on the restoration
and protection of cultural relics, the inheritance of intangible
cultural heritage and the development of cultural and tourism resources.
The
president has always insisted that the protection and exploration of
cultural heritage assets must serve a country's development.
In
October 2018, Xi stressed that more importance should be attached to
preserving history and culture during urban planning and construction
during his visit to Xiguan historical and cultural community in the
Liwan District of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province.
During this
National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the ancient township of
Chaozhou received nearly 2 million tourists with a total revenue of some
890 million yuan, with its cultural charm.
The president
underscored that the development of tourism should be based on
protection and should not be over-commercialized when he visited the
Yungang Grottoes, where he learned about historical and cultural
heritage protection efforts in north China's Shanxi Province in May this
year.
China's reform and opening-up paragon
President Xi
also visited Chaozhou Three-Circle (Group) Co., Ltd., an electronic
components and communication device manufacturer, checking out the
company's indigenous innovation, production and operation.
In
2019, Guangdong's provincial GDP exceeded 10 trillion yuan (about $1.48
trillion). Under the current poverty threshold, over 1.6 million
relatively poor people have reached the alleviation standard, a decisive
victory in the battle against poverty.
In December 2012,
President Xi visited Guangdong's Shenzhen during his first
around-the-country tour after he was elected the CPC leader.
Two
years ago, when China marked the 40th anniversary of reform and
opening-up, he revisited the city and emphasized the need to keep
promoting the process of reform and opening-up.
"I come to visit
Shenzhen as it marks the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up to
tell the world that China will not stop its reform and opening-up. China
will certainly deliver a bigger miracle that draws worldwide
attention," he said.
Shenzhen is an important stop during his latest inspection tour to Guangdong Province.
On
Wednesday morning, the president will attend a grand gathering
celebrating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the Shenzhen
Special Economic Zone.
On August 26, 1980, the 15th meeting of
the Standing Committee of the fifth National People's Congress, the
national legislature, approved the establishment of special economic
zones in Shenzhen, Zhuhai and Shantou in Guangdong Province and Xiamen
in Fujian Province.
Over the past four decades, Shenzhen has been
transformed from a small fishing village to a modern metropolis with a
population of over 13 million.
