It is also the birthplace of the Saihanba spirit. The "Beautiful Gaoling" has created a miracle from a tree to a million acres of forest.
Writing green articles and drawing ecological pictures, in recent years, Chengde City has promoted the construction of a city with a beautiful ecological environment in an all-round and all-round way, guided by carbon reduction and pollution reduction, beautiful environment, ecological livability, safety, health, wisdom and efficiency. The "Purple Seal Pearl" uses the increasingly good ecological environment to draw a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers outside the Great Wall.
The sky is blue and the water is clear, and the charming mountain city is beautiful all year round.
Enjoy flowers in spring, play in the water in summer, have lotus fragrance in autumn, and warm springs in winter. The Wulie River that runs through the city is the mother river of Chengde City.

In 2023, the proportion of excellent surface water sections in Chengde City will be 100%, an increase of 32 percentage points from 2013; the water quality of sections entering Beijing and Tianjin will reach Class II and above.
While comprehensively improving the quality of the water environment, Chengde City continues to fight the battle to defend the blue sky in the construction of a beautiful city, formulates and promulgates the "Regulations on the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Chengde City" and other relevant policy documents, and concentrates on carrying out pollution control actions, making the mountain city a city that can "breathe deeply."
In 2023, PM in Chengde City2.5The average concentration is 23 micrograms/cubic meter, of which urban PM2.5The average concentration was 25 micrograms/cubic meter, a year-on-year decrease of 3.8 percentage points. It reached the WHO Phase II standard for the first time. The comprehensive air quality index ranked second in Hebei Province.
The forest is rich and the land is fertile, and the beautiful countryside is picturesque
Beautiful countryside is an important part of building beautiful Chengde. Xinglong County is the first batch of demonstration areas for the entire county of Chengde City to promote the construction of beautiful villages.
Walking into Qingsongling Town, Xinglong County, you will find the Alcadia high-end resort hotel group in Qingsongling Village, and various B & Bs in Huashi Village are lined with mountains and rivers. Looking around, green waters, green mountains, farmland, residential houses, and village roads complement each other, attracting Beijing and Tianjin citizens to spend their holidays and leisure. People appreciate flowers, view and take photos, making them very comfortable.
"To accelerate the construction of beautiful countryside, Chengde City took the lead in issuing the" Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Construction of Beautiful Countryside in the Entire County of Chengde City "to comprehensively launch the construction of beautiful countryside." Jiang Jing, Chief of the Soil Ecological Environment Section of the Ecological Environment Bureau of Chengde City, told reporters that Chengde City is one of the first prefecture-level cities in the country to start the whole county to promote the construction of beautiful countryside. This "Guiding Opinion" is a programmatic document guiding Chengde City to promote the construction of beautiful countryside. It clarifies the construction goals for 2025, 2027 and 2030 respectively, and strives to take the lead in completing Xinglong County, Weichang County, Longhua County, Shuangqiao District, The goal of building beautiful villages in the five counties (districts) of the High-tech Zone has reached 40% ahead of schedule.
Accelerate the treatment of rural domestic sewage. Chengde City explores and innovates the "Small Three Parks +" infiltration model to control rural domestic sewage and promote the formation of a resource utilization system for rural domestic sewage in mountainous areas. It has been approved as a pilot for the resource utilization of "Small Three Parks +" grey water in rural mountainous areas in northern China and a pilot for the resource utilization of rural domestic grey water in Hebei Province.
Solidly advance the battle to defend the pure land. Chengde City has strengthened the prevention and control of soil pollution sources, and the safe utilization rate of contaminated cultivated land and key construction land in the city has maintained 100%. We will further promote the construction of "waste-free cities" and comprehensively strengthen source reduction and resource utilization in five fields including industry.
To make the land greener and denser, Chengde City coordinated the management of mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, grass and sand systems, accelerated the implementation of major ecological restoration projects such as the northern sand prevention zone and the management of sandstorm sources in Beijing and Tianjin, and successfully created a "National Forest City." The city's forest coverage rate reached 60.03%, ranking first in North China; the forest area is 35.56 million acres, accounting for 32% of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Green turns into gold, and ecological dividends continue to be released
The green grass is like a carpet, and the forest is vast. Yudaokou Grassland Forest Scenic Area located in Chengde Bashang has beautiful scenery. On the Dadu beam of Yudaokou, green spruce more than 1 meter high are neatly arranged.
In August last year, in order to offset the carbon dioxide generated during the 2023 China International Ecological Competitiveness Summit, the organizing committee planted a new 50 acres of "carbon neutral forest" in Yudaokou. Calculated over a 10-year period, it can absorb at least 272 tons of carbon dioxide, helping this summit become a "zero-carbon conference."
Not only do there are "carbon neutral forests", Chengde Saihanba Ecological Development Group Co., Ltd. has also innovatively developed wetland and grassland carbon sequestration ecological products in Yudaokou. At the provincial centralized signing ceremony for the value realization of the fourth batch of carbon-reduction products held on August 23, 2023, these two carbon-fixation ecological products reached a transaction of 93,600 tons with a number of carbon emission companies with new production capacity, realizing value transformation. 6.459 million yuan.
"Relying on its rich forest resource advantages, Chengde took the lead in carrying out a pilot survey of forest carbon sequestration in Hebei Province." Dong Ruiqin, a fourth-level researcher at the Chengde City Ecological Environment Bureau, said that at present, the trading types of carbon reduction products in Chengde City have expanded from forestry to grasslands and wetlands, and extended to distributed photovoltaics, scenic spot carbon benefits and other fields. The trading types of carbon reduction products continue to increase.
It is understood that by calculating the value of ecological products, Chengde's forest, grassland and wetland resources can conserve 3.27 billion cubic meters of water, conserve 88.838 million tons of soil, fix 7.125 million tons of carbon, and release 5.862 million tons of oxygen annually. The total asset value reaches 501.92 billion yuan, and the value of ecological products is the highest in Hebei Province.
Through a survey of the forest resources of the city's state-owned forest farms and calculations based on current methodology, Chengde City can calculate a forest area of 26.44 million acres of carbon sequestration products, and the total amount of carbon sequestration products reaches 86.9884 million tons, ranking first in Hebei Province.
People live up to the green mountains, and the green mountains will surely live up to people. Turning ecological advantages into development advantages, Chengde City explores ecological value transformation in five aspects: ecological compensation mechanism, development of carbon reduction products, CCER (China Certified Voluntary Emission Reduction), emission rights market transactions, and enrichment of green financial products. path.
In the first half of this year, carbon reduction products such as distributed photovoltaic power stations in Chengde County were registered, with an additional 170,000 tons of new records, with a cumulative record of more than 5 million tons, ranking first in Hebei Province; Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm achieved the first transaction in Hebei Province after the restart of the national voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading market, with a carbon sink volume of 19,000 tons and a transaction amount of 1 million yuan; The city organized and completed 36 emission rights transactions with a transaction amount of 3.9 million yuan.
So far, Chengde City has relied on Hebei Province to reduce the value of carbon products.TaiwanFour batches of 1.1 million tons of carbon-reduction products were traded, achieving a transaction volume of 60.99 million yuan, accounting for 83% of the transaction volume of Hebei Province.
Promoting the construction of beautiful Chengde in all aspects across the region, a beautiful picture of mountains and rivers, intertwined with blue and green, and harmonious coexistence between man and nature is slowly unfolding.
