Water, woodland to dominate Xiongan New Area landscape

Ecological protection will be a major priority during construction work

More than 70 percent of Xiongan New Area in North China's Hebei province will be covered by water and trees, according to a leading official.

"We will not construct high-rise buildings, concrete jungles or glass walls in the new area," Chen Gang, director of the Xiongan New Area administrative committee, said.
