On New Year’s Day in 1996, Fuzhou’s suburban area was renamed Jin’an District and officially established. The birth of Jin’an opened up a new spatial development pattern for Fuzhou’s accelerated construction into a modern international city!

Over the past three decades, Jin’an District of Fuzhou has always kept in mind the earnest expectations, forging ahead with gratitude. It has achieved an all-round, systematic, and profound transformation in economic and social development, contributing strong momentum to Fuzhou’s accelerated construction into a modern international city.

Over the Past 30 Years: Building on Ecology, Urban and Rural Landscapes Renewed

Integrating urban and rural areas with harmonious coexistence of mountains and waters, Jin’an District has adhered to the concept that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets” over the past 30 years. It has balanced ecological protection, green development, and improvement in people’s livelihood, earning numerous accolades such as the National Demonstration Zone for “Four Good Rural Roads,” National Ecological Zone, National Green Model Zone, and National Demonstration Zone for Ecological Civilization Construction. These efforts have painted a beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence between landscapes, people, and the city.

In building a city with picturesque landscapes, Jin’an District has fully leveraged its natural endowments to create a series of ecological parks and green spaces. Jin’an Park has been designated as a demonstration project for national sponge cities and urban renewal & ecological restoration. Meanwhile, the district has continuously promoted water environment management, comprehensively eliminating black and odorous water bodies. The Jin’an River has been transformed into a “Happiness River of Fujian” with clear water, green banks, and leisurely boat rides.

Shoushan Village in the Beifeng area of Jin’an has leveraged its Shoushan stone culture to become a “National Stone Town,” while Dianyang Village has brewed “Dianyang Red” wine with its beautiful mountains and clear waters. Jiufeng Village has become a popular tourist destination with its unique landscape of “two streams converging and two bridges reflecting on the water”…

In rural revitalization, Jin’an has vigorously promoted the integration of agriculture, culture, tourism, and commerce, developing characteristic agricultural sightseeing and rural leisure tourism. Villages are exploring the “Jin’an Path” to common prosperity through vivid practices featuring “beautiful ecology, thriving industries, and prosperous people.”

Over the past 30 years, Jin’an District has vigorously promoted urban renewal and environmental improvement, revitalizing the old town. Today, the rising Jin’an New Town around the East Second Ring Road is going to become a high-quality living circle around Jin’an Lake. Urban villages and old factories have been replaced by a modern and international “urban lounge,” making the city more livable, resilient, and intelligent, and ensuring residents enjoy more convenient and comfortable urban life.

Jin’an District allocates more than 70% of its financial resources annually to people’s livelihood, leading to rapid development in education, healthcare, elderly care, and other livelihood sectors. Several cooperative education projects, including Fuzhou No.3 High School and the Second Affiliated Primary School of Fuzhou Education College, have been established in the district.
