HAIKOU, China, September 7. /TASS/. The southern Chinese resort city of Sanya on the coast of Hainan Island plans to strengthen its environmental measures in accordance with China's new Environmental Code, the Hainan Daily newspaper reported.
The newspaper noted that the legislation took effect on August 15. It is expected to provide an important boost to Sanya's high-quality development. The new measures could help restore natural vegetation, expand mangrove forests, and increase populations of various local wildlife species. Another key objective is to develop modern environmentally friendly infrastructure, including a more extensive network of electric vehicle charging stations and convenient cycling routes.
The article noted that Sanya is a city with excellent environmental conditions, surrounded by tropical forests and boasting pristine beaches and numerous bodies of water. One of the goals is not only to create even more favorable living conditions, but also to harness the city's green potential to develop new modern industries and advance promising business projects.
To successfully achieve these goals, Sanya plans to continuously strengthen its legal and regulatory framework, carefully work out the details of the relevant measures and improve their effectiveness. Such efforts, the article stressed, are aimed at creating a "calm and orderly urban environment," which it compared to an "invisible but extremely important form of soft power." In practice, this will include tougher measures to combat noise pollution, stronger monitoring of residential conditions, and the introduction of "precise, intelligent, and systematic methods." These measures are expected to reduce the environmental impact of construction sites, as well as industrial and commercial activities.
