Chongqing is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the heart of the Three Gorges reservoir area, which is an important ecological function area in China. In recent years, the vegetation in the ecological barrier area along the Yangtze River in Chongqing has been restored through comprehensive measures such as promoting the Yangtze River ecological environment protection project, planting trees and implementing the ecological greening of the illegal wharf on the Yangtze River.

In January 2016, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out during his investigation in Chongqing that protecting the Three Gorges reservoir area and the mother river of the Yangtze River is related to the long-term development of Chongqing and the overall development of the country. On April 26, 2018, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech at the symposium to further promote the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, stressing that it is necessary to consider the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, put the restoration of the Yangtze River ecological environment in an overwhelming position, and strive to build the Yangtze River Economic Belt into a golden economic belt with more beautiful ecology, smoother traffic, more coordinated economy, more unified market and more scientific mechanism, and explore a new path of ecological priority and green development. The broad masses of cadres and masses in Chongqing thoroughly study and implement the important strategic thinking of the Supreme Leader General Secretary on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, strengthen the upstream consciousness, shoulder the upstream responsibility, speed up the construction of inland open highlands and beautiful places, strive to promote high-quality development and create high-quality life, and fully implement the general secretary’s earnest entrustment on the land of Chongqing.
"It is difficult to write about the mountains on both sides of Qutang." The famous sentences written by Zhang Wentao, a poet in Qing Dynasty, tell the fact that the beautiful scenery along the Yangtze River is hard to describe and the wonders are hard to describe. On the coastline of the Yangtze River in Chongqing in May, the first word that comes to mind when people write is "green"; The first word that comes to mind is "returning to green". Re-greening the Three Gorges and the banks of the Yangtze River is exactly what Chongqing wrote to build an ecological Yangtze River and paint the Three Gorges in poetry. Returning to the "green" of the river bank, each kind makes people taste a unique taste.
Nearly 700 kilometers of coastline is fragrant with flowers and fruits.
Some are green, and the green is sweet.
Nearly 700 kilometers of the Yangtze River in Chongqing has built a continuous high-quality fruit base. Citrus in Zhongxian, loquat in Yunyang, grapefruit in Longevity and Liangping, navel orange in Fengjie and crisp plum in Wushan, some are refreshing and pleasant, and some are as sweet as honey. Each flavor tells its own story.
Zhongxian County is the core area of citrus in Chongqing and the national citrus demonstration area. More than 200,000 people in the county are employed in the citrus industry chain. Of the 35 acres of standardized citrus orchards that have been built, 220,000 acres have become a unique citrus ecological corridor along the Yangtze River, making the forest coverage rate on both sides of the Yangtze River in Zhongxian County reach 70%. More than 200,000 mu of barren-tolerant crisp plum trees in Wushan County have turned barren hills into flower and fruit mountains. Every year, when plum blossoms bloom in the Spring Festival, both sides of the Yangtze River will become Li Huahai all over the mountains. Flower viewing festivals and picking festivals held by various districts and counties for each kind of fruit can attract hundreds of thousands or even millions of tourists every time, which has become a new highlight of rural tourism.
Hundreds of square kilometers of water-level fluctuation zone become a river on Lin Ze.
Some are green, and others are persistent.
The water storage period of the Three Gorges Reservoir is from September every year to March the following year, and the water level is as high as 175 meters. After entering March, the storage capacity will be vacated before the flood season, when the water level will drop to about 145 meters. Between the high water level and the low water level, a fluctuating zone with a maximum drop of more than 30 meters and a total area of more than 340 square kilometers has been formed in the Three Gorges reservoir area. The water-level fluctuation zone loses more than 100 million tons of sediment every year. How to control the water-level fluctuation zone is a world-class problem.
In recent years, all districts and counties in Chongqing, located in the Three Gorges reservoir area, have explored their own unique management modes of water-level fluctuation zone: fengjie county has implemented wetland forest, ecological agriculture and wetland ecological reconstruction projects in water-level fluctuation zone, and implemented ecological management or ecological wetland projects in water-level fluctuation zones such as Baidicheng, Caotang Lake and Kangle Lake; The planned total area of Huanghua Island National Wetland Park in Zhongxian County is 1,400 hectares, including 637 hectares of natural wetlands, 179 hectares of water below 145 meters, and 584 hectares of river bank highlands above the water level fluctuation zone. Experts in agriculture, forestry, environment, meteorology and other aspects of the country believe that the management of the fluctuating zone in the Three Gorges reservoir area is of great significance for protecting the ecological environment, managing mountains, water and poverty.
The former director of the Forestry Institute of Wanzhou District Forestry Bureau and the senior forestry engineer let the team persistently find and screen the suitable plants in the water-level fluctuation zone. After 8 years of immersion test, they found that Chinese fir not only grows fast, has fewer pests and diseases, but also is resistant to flooding in winter and drought in summer. In 2012, Wanzhou Forestry Bureau built about 500 mu of experimental demonstration forest within the range of 165-175 meters in the water-level fluctuation zone, and then gradually popularized and planted 1,000 mu, turning the 40-kilometer-long water-level fluctuation zone into a special green ecological corridor and a spectacular aquatic forest along the river.
Multi-plant symbiosis on 175 meters water level line
Some are green, and the green is meticulous.
The ecological protection of the Three Gorges reservoir area sometimes requires the effort of embroidery needle.
Yunyang County, bordering Wanzhou, has three municipal forest parks, one municipal nature reserve and two county-level nature reserves, and is one of the seven major forest resources counties in Chongqing. The Huolong Community in Panlong Street, which looks across the river from Yunyang New County, is the planning and construction area of the ecological barrier demonstration section in Yunyang County. In this area, the ecological protection zone within 100 meters above the 175-meter water level of the Three Gorges Reservoir is subdivided into three belts, and tree species are matched according to the requirements of non-functional areas. In Linjiang, a reed belt with a width of 2 meters is planted in the first belt, and a kind of bamboo belt with a width of 3-5 meters is planted in the second belt. In the third belt, evergreen and deciduous leaves, needles and broad leaves, and green and color are mixed to highlight the landscape effect. More than 100 meters above the 175-meter water level line is an eco-economic forest belt, where citrus, grapes, longan and other fruit trees are planted, and other native tree species are planted in the barren hills on the ridge. The ecological protection forest belt cultivated in this way has strong water conservation ability, good soil and water conservation effect and obvious air purification effect, and also drives the annual per capita income of the whole community to increase by more than 2,000 yuan.
More than 100 illegal docks turned into green spaces.
Some are green, and others are determined.
Due to historical reasons and various interests, a large number of illegal docks have been formed in the main stream of the Yangtze River and its tributaries. These docks illegally occupy shoreline resources, destroying the coastal ecological environment and the normal shipping order along the river, and illegal sand mining activities have been repeatedly banned. There are 118 illegal docks in Chongqing, distributed in 17 districts and counties along the main stream and tributaries of the Yangtze River. At present, 108 green buildings have been closed and 10 buildings have been upgraded.
The growth and development of green logo can guide rational and wise people. Two sand and gravel processing plants near Luogongzi Wharf in Yuejin Village, dadukou district, disappeared in mid-May. The original site of the processing plant has become a large open and flat green space. Liu Chongyuan, deputy secretary of the Street Party Working Committee, said that the whole district is carrying out greening renovation of the sand and gravel factory along the Yangtze River. After renovation, Luogongzi Wharf will also plant more than 200 trees of pueraria lobata, sow more than 20 tons of Ophiopogon japonicus and more than 2 tons of grass seeds, and turn the wharf into a public hydrophilic park with "clear water, smooth flow, green shore and beautiful scenery".
At almost the same time, 40 illegal catering vessels in Jiangbei District were rectified and dismantled. These illegal catering vessels without a qualified sewage system often discharge garbage directly into the river, causing serious pollution to the waters. As the earliest catering vessels existed more than 20 years ago, and there are problems such as overlapping functions in management, how to deal with these illegal catering vessels has always been a "long-standing problem" in Chongqing’s environmental governance. In order to "jointly protect", Jiangbei District Committee issued subsidies and incentives to encourage and guide the owners of catering vessels to abandon their ships and land for other jobs, and finally completely solved the problem of direct pollution of the Yangtze River and Jialing River by catering vessels within their jurisdiction. According to the newly formulated waterfront planning, Beibin Road in Jiangbei District will be transformed into a riverside park, a viewing platform, a high-standard humanistic waterfront leisure area and a riverside art gallery.
The "big construction site" in the Three Gorges reservoir area has become a "big park"
Some are green, and the pain is sweet.
He Xianhua, who lives near Tianxianhu Square in Wanzhou District, likes to fly kites in the square with his family, take a walk along binjiang road or go to nanshan park to bask in the sun in his spare time. In the past, He Xianhua could see the black smoke from the factory at home, and he could smell the pungent smell of burning coal and lampblack in some small restaurants facing the street. In order to let the children breathe more fresh air, he takes them to his hometown in the country every weekend. In recent years, after Wanzhou stepped up efforts to control air pollution, the gray days gradually turned blue and the dirty air gradually became sweet. In recent years, there are more green plants in Wanzhou city, and egrets will patronize the square from time to time. This makes He Xianhua feel particularly gratified. He said: "I have lived here since I was a child and worked here when I grew up. I have a deep feeling for every change in the environment. "
"Look at the river with your pillow, and do whatever you want. Wulixi, Yunshan, Three Gorges, stay with me in Yuzhou. " In May, the temperature in the Chongqing reservoir area of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River has entered summer, but there is still a poetic feeling of "green hills like the east of Daiyuan village, green and long streams with catkins" among the mountains and waters, attracting many tourists to visit. Today, 16 years after the Three Gorges Reservoir was officially impounded, it has changed from the original resettlement site to a beautiful park. Chongqing has set an ecological red line of 63 million mu of forest land, 56 million mu of forest and 3.1 million mu of wetland for itself. This is also the premise and bottom line for Chongqing to build an ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and strengthen the construction of a beautiful and beautiful place. The essence and essence of "clear water in one river, green hills on both sides of the river, red leaves in the Three Gorges, clouds and rain in all seasons, ancient towns with thousands of years of civilization", beautiful canyon clear water, gorgeous red leaves in Jiangshan and charming clouds and rain in Wushan are all green in the Three Gorges.
