Green represents freshness and nature, green shows the future and hope, and in the sub-center of Beijing, the most distinctive background color of urban development is green.
After years of construction, the green space pattern of "two belts, one ring and one heart" in the sub-center of the city has been basically formed: the eastern and western ecological green belts have taken shape, the green leisure and recreation ring around the city has gradually closed the loop, and the urban green heart forest park has attracted much attention. More than 400 kilometers of greenways run through the north and south, 8 10,000 acres of forest groups connect the east and west, pocket parks, small and micro green spaces are dotted, people go out 300 meters to see green, 500 meters to see the garden, lift your feet to walk into the green around you.
Whether the environment is good or not, whether there is much green, and enthusiasts who often go out to run and ride have the most right to speak. Take cycling enthusiasts in Yao Xinzhuang Village, Zhangjiawan Town, for example, the nearly 20-kilometer road from Yao Xinzhuang Village to Dongguan Bridge has been riding here often in the past 10 years. Along the way, Zhangjiawan Park, Urban Green Heart Forest Park, Tongzhou Grand Canal Forest Park, Tongzhou Canal Park, etc. are connected into a green belt, and the beautiful scenery continues all year round. "From the past when people and vehicles were mixed, riding bicycles to eat soil and absorb exhaust fumes, to now the forest is surrounded by green water, the environment of the sub-center is getting better and better, and our life is getting more and more delicious. Villager Lin Dianyong said.
At present, the sub-center has been built and opened to the public 51 parks of various types, the influence and attractiveness of large parks such as the eastern suburbs forest park and Zhangjiawan Park are rising, and each park and green space has built a high-quality cycling and walking greenway, providing an excellent fitness place for the public, and fitness activities such as cycling and running have been favored by more and more people in the sub-center.
The continuous expansion of green space not only brings ecological benefits to the public, but also creates more comfortable homes for small animals. For example, in the city's Green Heart Forest Park**, a 78-hectare piece of wasteland has been converted into an ecological conservation nucleus, which was the core area of the Dongfang Chemical Plant, and the soil and groundwater are polluted. During the construction of the park, adaptable tree species, shrubs and grasses and slow-growing plants were mixed and sown in the conservation nucleus, gradually forming the style of barren grass, shrubs, sparse forests and dense forests, and food and nectar plants accounted for 38%.
After the completion of the park, a fence was erected outside the ecological conservation core, which was not accessible to visitors. Looking through the fence, the "wild" flavor is full inside, the plants are not neat, and even a little messy, a group of grass warblers fly in the original ecological appearance, but this is precisely the appearance of nature itself, and it is also the favorite appearance of wild animals. Today, many animals have made their home in Greenheart, including sparrowhawks, grey-faced[gf]9d5f[gf] eagles, little owls, and short-eared owls. In the park, the hare runs under the feet and the magpie flies in the sky, presenting a beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
There are 49 sub-centers of ecological conservation communities like this, which provide a quasi-natural environment for wildlife to thrive by building Benjieshi piles, artificial bird nests and insect hotels. According to the data, a total of 55 species of alien species have been discovered in the whole region, and 365 species of wild birds have been monitored. Among them, there are 15 species of national first-class protected birds, the number of wild animals such as hares and long-eared owls continues to increase, and the Great Bustard has wintered in Tongzhou for seven consecutive years.
The construction of forest city not only gathers green resources, but also drives the development of forest economy. The sub-center took the lead in handing over nearly 280,000 acres of ecological forests to the maintenance and management of township collective forest farms, driving more than 5,000 people to be employed in green posts every year, and the local labor force accounted for nearly ninety percent. At the same time, the newly built high-yield, high-efficiency and modern orchards have gradually turned to standardization and standardization, and "Tongzhou Big Cherry" and "Zhangjiawan Grape" have been awarded national geographical indications. The scale of the understory economy in the whole area reaches 5,680 acres, and the understory economy, which is dominated by understory planting, eco-tourism, popular science education, etc., not only improves the quality of life of the surrounding residents, but also effectively drives the people's income.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Tongzhou District Landscaping Bureau, next, the landscaping of the sub-center will further increase the greenery scientifically, continue to expand the green space, and continuously improve the total amount of green resources and forest coverage in the district. At the same time, we will promote the research and construction of "garden cities", and build a number of small and micro green spaces, pocket parks, and village parks with high standards, so as to continuously enhance the people's sense of gain.

Mu Chun's heart
Photography enthusiast Du Zhiguang
I'm shooting star tracks in front of my house
At 3 o'clock in the morning on February 7, Du Zhiguang, a photography enthusiast in Tongzhou, took a camera and a tripod and came to the Canal Cultural Square in the sub-center to shoot the star track. This time, he aimed his camera at the antique archway of the Canal Cultural Square and the deep cosmic starry sky behind the archway.
Now the ecological environment of the sub-center is getting better and better, and the star track can also be photographed in winter. In addition, the Canal Cultural Square is full of lights and is very festive, which is particularly brilliant in the film. Du Zhiguang showed the reporter a new star track blockbuster. In the picture, the archway is hung with red lanterns, and the sky is full of stars, which is both simple and dreamy. This was filmed by him from 4 o'clock in the morning to 6:30 o'clock, and then processed **, and it was not produced until near noon.
For Lao Du, this is not the first time he has shot star tracks in the sub-center. Since 2020, he has successively gone to Zhangjiawan Tongyun Ancient Bridge, Three Temples and One Tower Scenic Area, three major cultural buildings and other places to shoot and shoot, combining the most representative elements of the sub-center with the fantastic starry sky, and shooting a great **.
Lao Du is 58 years old this year, his hometown is in Shanxi, and he has lived in Tongzhou for more than 30 years. "When I first arrived in Tongzhou, the air quality was very poor, and there was a smell of soot in winter. At that time, if you wanted to shoot star tracks, you had to run to the northern mountainous areas of Miyun and Huairou. At that time, I thought that it would be great if I could take pictures of star tracks at my doorstep. Du Zhiguang said.
Today, Tongzhou has become a sub-center of the city, ushering in a new stage of high-quality development, and the urban environment has been greatly improved. The Grand Canal has been sparkling from the smell of the past to the current sparkling, the Dongfang Chemical Plant has been shut down and demolished, and the old factory site has been transformed into an urban green heart forest park.
Du Zhiguang was keenly aware of these changes in the environment, and lamented that it was easier for the sub-center to shoot star tracks than before. Shooting star tracks in the city, the conditions are very harsh, the weather must be good, the transparency requirements are high, and there can be no disturbance around, but these are not difficult to meet in the sub-center. This time before the Spring Festival, he took a star track in the Canal Cultural Square, which was a trip of Lao Du to "say go".
