DONGYING, China, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from chinadaily.com.cn: Yellow River Estuary Bay in Dongying, East China's Shandong province, stands as a shining example of balancing ecological preservation with economic growth. Notably, the bay has been recognized among China's third batch of "Beautiful Bays" by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. In recent years, Dongying has made ecological restoration a top priority, working to strengthen its green foundation and protect biodiversity. The city has launched a series of targeted projects to restore its natural ecosystems, manage invasive species, and improve water supply to wetlands. At the heart of these efforts is the Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve – one of China's largest and most important wetlands. Vast stretches of flourishing marshland provide critical habitats for countless species. Thanks to integrated land and sea governance, these restoration efforts have paid off. The bay has become a vital stopover for millions of migratory birds. The number of bird species has risen to 374, while rare species such as the Yellow River knife fish and finless porpoise have returned. Water quality has significantly improved, further boosting the area's ecological health. This thriving environment has unlocked vast economic potential. Today, the bay has attracted nature photographers, bird watchers, and eco-tourists from across China. Visitor satisfaction has exceeded 98.5 percent, with annual tourism surpassing one million. Seizing this opportunity, Dongying has been working to promote cultural and tourism integration through year-round events to improve visitor experience. In 2024, the city's tourism revenue reached record highs, which drove growth in hospitality, transportation, and related industries. Dongying's ecological achievements have also accelerated industrial transformation. The city is developing sustainable aquaculture, introducing advanced recycling systems that reduce pollution and improve product quality. Signature products like Yellow River estuary hairy crabs and sea cucumbers are now sold nationwide. The marine new energy sector is also booming. Dongying has established an offshore wind power equipment industrial park, attracting leading enterprises and forming a complete industry value chain. Notably, the world's largest floating wind turbine was recently completed here, marking a major milestone for the industry. From saline wastelands to an ecological oasis, Dongying's transformation reflects its commitment to protecting the Yellow River's ecological heritage while embracing green, high-quality development along its beautiful bay.
TAI'AN, China, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This is a report from the Shandong office of Hong Kong Business Daily. Recently, Associate Researcher at the Institute of Economics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and PhD in Economics from Guanghua School of Management, Peking University, continued to write an article objectively analyzing the changes that artificial intelligence will bring to the tourist city of Tai'an. Xu Ji believes that the climbing robot in Mount Taishan Scenic Area has become a beautiful landscape, which can greatly increase the consumption opportunities of tourists. The traffic volume of Tai'an is huge. During the 2025 Spring Festival alone, the number of tourists will reach 2.5755 million, and the related content of "climbing power robot" in Mount Taishan Scenic Area will be viewed more than 100 million times on the whole network. In addition, Tai'an will also share the same brand of assistive robots with the fire department for trial, which will greatly benefit the acceleration of smart transformation in public sectors such as fire rescue. The good experience of mountain climbing assistive robots among tourists in Tai'an will drive them to use health and wellness assistive robots, which will contribute to the growth of the health and wellness industry and the prosperity of the silver haired economy. Continuing to say that leveraging data advantages to achieve advantageous industry chain extension is an important direction for Tai'an's cultural and tourism industry efforts. Tai'an has built a cultural and tourism industry brain based on big data, artificial intelligence, and GIS, integrating multi-dimensional data such as tourist information, tourism resources, and urban supporting facilities. The cultural and tourism industry brain can not only determine the carrying capacity and operational efficiency of scenic spots, optimize the spatial layout of tourism resources, but also link emergency broadcasting and smart gates to control and guide the flow of people in scenic spots. In addition, the cultural and tourism industry brain can optimize product recommendation and customer service services according to the basic information and behavior characteristics of tourists, so as to meet the diversified consumption experience of tourists to boost cultural and tourism consumption. According to the brain data of Tai'an's cultural and tourism industry, during the Spring Festival in 2025, the proportion of adult tourists aged 18-23, 24-30, and 31-40 will be 23.11%, 20.58%, and 49.78%, respectively.

Human creativity fuses with AI to reimagine heritage as a visionary hospitality community by Lake Bled, Slovenia LONDON, March 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Studio Tim Fu, a pioneering London-based firm, is reshaping the future of architecture with an extraordinary project at Lake Bled, Slovenia. Situated on the storied shores of the glacial lake, Lake Bled Estate comprises seven exclusive-use villas, combining human creativity with cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) to shape a visionary hospitality community, marking the beginning of a bold new era in design. Leading this transformation is Tim Fu, a designer who, after emerging from the esteemed Zaha Hadid Architects, founded Studio Tim Fu with a commitment to pushing the boundaries of AI innovation in practice. "We're at a crossroads," Fu reflects, "a moment of profound change. AI is igniting a revolution in design. By tapping into the creative potential of machine intelligence, we can bring this groundbreaking development to life with unmatched speed and precision." Commissioned by an undisclosed Slovenian philanthropist whose vision promotes a deeper connection with the natural environment, Lake Bled Estate blends cultural sensitivity with technological ambition. The belief in the restorative power of Slovenia's biophilic landscape is reflected in the development plan, where architecture harmonises with its surroundings. Framed by the Julian Alps and overlooking the emerald-green lake, the estate offers a transformative wellbeing experience that responds to its environment - organic, interconnected, and deeply rooted in the narrative of the place. Reimagining Slovenian Tradition Through AI-Driven Innovation The development marks a significant moment where the human hand meets the digital mind. Spanning an expansive 22,000 sq m site, it comprises six new ultra-luxury villas alongside the historic Vila Epos, a protected cultural monument of the highest national significance. Designed by renowned Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik in 1909, it serves as both inspiration and a data reference for the design concept. Studio Tim Fu has crafted a master plan that integrates biophilic design with local vernacular traditions. Leveraging AI in the early design phase, the studio analysed the context, scale, style, and materiality of traditional Slovenian typologies. This process revealed recurring elements, such as the timber rizalit (Slovene) - vertical partial enclosures extending from the main facade. Reinterpreting these features, the studio conceptualised them as a striking centerpiece: a luxurious vertical atrium opening up to garden views and daylight. In rethinking AI's role in architecture, Studio Tim Fu highlights its potential to empower human ingenuity. Rather than reducing human involvement, AI frees architects to focus on more human-centric design. This shift in thinking moves beyond AI's usual limitations, allowing for more thoughtful, efficient design. "This is the first time AI has been this extensively embedded in the architectural process, from prototyping design to optimising for heritage and environment," added Rada Daleva, Project Lead at Studio Tim Fu. Leveraging Technology to Enrich Spatial Design and Interaction Lake Bled Estate is built on values that foster wellbeing and social interaction, merged with technological innovation. By fusing human expertise with AI, it enables the creation of holistic architectural solutions that resonate with users through both emotional and spatial intelligence, as demonstrated in the project's layout. The villas are carefully oriented towards the centre of the masterplan, maximising privacy while nurturing a sense of community. At the heart of the site, the landscape concept for the communal park features thoughtfully curated greenery and pathways, gently encouraging residents to connect. The collection of two-, three-, and four-bedroom villas provides residents with adaptable living spaces that bring the outside in. While the exteriors honour the neighbouring architectural vernacular, the interiors are intentionally crafted to maximise light, offering vast vistas and open views of the gardens and lake. The verticality of the reimagined rizalit creates airy interiors that blend harmoniously with the tranquil surroundings. Lake Bled is located in the Upper Carniolan region in northwestern Slovenia, adjoining the town of Bled. Known for its scenic landscapes and historical landmarks, including Bled Castle and Bled Island, the area is a well-established tourist destination.

BEIJING, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A report from People's Daily As night fell, a powerful and melodious soprano voice echoed through Zhaoxing Dong village in Liping county, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong autonomous prefecture, southwest China's Guizhou province. The village instantly came alive. Under a grand drum tower, various singing groups took turns to perform grand song of the Dong ethnic group, a form of a folk chorus inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. "What was initially just a local performance in the village ended up attracting over 130 singing groups from surrounding villages. We even added a grand parade in traditional attire and a feast of Dong cuisine," said Lu Yanyu, an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage in Zhaoxing Dong village. "By day, we are farmers and shopkeepers; by night, we become performers. It's pure joy." As a province home to multiple ethnic groups, Guizhou has nurtured a rich and diverse cultural heritage. In recent years, its ethnic culture has repeatedly gained national and even international recognition. Villages like Xijiang Qianhu Miao village and Sanbao Dong village have become dream destinations for many travelers. Miao silver jewelry and Shui ethnic horsetail embroidery have made their way from the mountains to the global stage. Meanwhile, handicrafts such as Miao embroidery, batik, Yazhou pottery, and Miao clay whistles have become sought-after souvenirs among tourists and are now sold overseas. Guizhou is currently undertaking major cultural initiatives, with a strategic plan encompassing nine key areas, including high-quality cultural research, heritage preservation, and exhibition development. A total of 128 priority measures have been identified to accelerate the goal of building itself into a culturally strong province. Amidst the rolling mountains, moss-covered ancient walls stretch into the distance—this is Hailongtun, Guizhou's only UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. "The reflective markers on the walls are used to monitor any subsidence or structural shifts. If a stone falls, it is carefully numbered and restored to its original place, and even the moss that re-grows must remain authentic to the site's ecosystem," explained Ji Tao, director of the Hailongtun cultural heritage management bureau. From systematic restoration efforts to the successful transfer of 15,212 unearthed artifacts, Hailongtun has been revitalized with new life. Guizhou boasts an impressive cultural heritage: one UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, three entries on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, 1,655 recognized historical buildings, over 4,300 sites of intangible cultural heritage projects, and more than 700 recognized inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. To enhance protection and ensure continuity, Guizhou has launched a series of cultural heritage initiatives, recruited 121 nationally renowned experts to form an academic committee, and published a batch of academic works, accessible books, and literary masterpieces. Integrating culture with industry has been a driving force behind Guizhou's cultural and tourism growth. The province has leveraged 753 Long March historical relics, 757 traditional Chinese villages, and 312 ethnic minority villages to develop a series of landmark cultural tourism projects. This multi-faceted approach has accelerated the formation of a diverse and interconnected cultural and tourism ecosystem. In the first three quarters of 2024, the number of tourists visiting Guizhou and total tourism revenue increased by 11.0 percent and 14.8 percent year on year, respectively. Guizhou's cultural tourism boom has also sparked the emergence of new business models. In Rongjiang county, the integration of ethnic culture with sports events has created lasting appeal— the Village Super League of soccer and Village Basketball Association have gone from viral sensations to enduring cultural staples. In Guiyang, "street-side concerts" add vibrancy to everyday life. Traditional festivals sucn as Guzang Festival, Miao Sisters Festival highlight the distinct charm of ethnic cultures. By capitalizing on its unique cultural assets, Guizhou continues to deepen the integration of tourism with sports, agriculture, and wellness industries, expanding tourism offerings, extending industrial chains, and elevating product quality. At the same time, Guizhou has been actively implementing cultural welfare programs, enhancing public cultural services, and organizing various community cultural activities, so as to ensure that residents benefit from a stronger cultural presence in their daily lives.
CGTN published an article on Chinese President Xi Jinping's latest inspection tour to southwest China's Guizhou Province. By introducing how Guizhou strives for high-quality economic growth and rural revitalization, the article showed China's unwavering determination to pursue high-quality development, which is key to its modernization drive. BEIJING, March 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At this year's Two Sessions – China's annual legislative and political consultative sessions – high-quality development is a buzzword. The first local inspection tour made by Chinese President Xi Jinping after the Two Sessions has again revealed the country's unwavering determination to pursue high-quality development, which is key to its modernization drive. From Monday to Tuesday, Xi visited southwest China's Guizhou, calling on the province to adhere to high-quality development and drive growth by further deepening reform and opening up comprehensively. High-quality development in Chinese modernization During the tour, Xi pointed out high-quality development is an essential requirement for advancing Chinese modernization, urging Guizhou to pursue high-quality development by strengthening its economy, driving innovation, and transforming traditional industries, while also protecting its ecological environment. Once considered the "poorest" province, Guizhou has made remarkable progress, alleviating over 9.2 million people from poverty within a decade by 2021. In 2024, Guizhou's GDP reached 2.27 trillion yuan ($311.6 billion), growing by 5.3 percent compared to the previous year, higher than the national average growth rate of 5 percent. Often dubbed China's big-data hub, Guizhou is the country's first national big-data comprehensive pilot zone, promoting big-data industry as the backbone of its high-quality social and economic development. Currently, 47 major data centers are either under construction or operational across this province. Through relentless efforts in ecological conservation, the province – home to the largest area of rocky desertification in China – saw its forest coverage rise to 63 percent by the end of 2023, with 99.1 percent of days in Guizhou's major cities meeting excellent air quality standards in 2024. Culture confidence Stressing Guizhou is rich in historical, red culture and ethnic culture, Xi called on the province to preserve the traditional culture, enhance cultural confidence to boost economic and social development. When visiting the Zhaoxing Dong Village in Liping County on Monday, Xi and the villagers sat around a fire pit to discuss all-around rural revitalization at a drum tower, a unique architecture for the Dong ethnic group that serves as a communal gathering spot. Xi stressed that areas with large ethnic minority populations should preserve their distinctive culture and let it shine through the integrated development of culture and tourism. Tourism has become a major industry and rural tourism is thriving, Xi said, wishing the villagers' lives to continuously prosper with each passing day. In recent years, Zhaoxing Dong Village has vigorously developed the tourism industry by setting up more than 400 hotels, homestay hotels and restaurants, fostering more than 60 traditional handicraft enterprises and generating employment and entrepreneurship for more than 2,000 people. Last year, the village received 1.027 million visitors, an increase of 63.4 percent, with tourism revenue reaching 1.02 billion yuan, an increase of 63.8 percent. The village's collective economic income reached 2.45 million yuan, while the villagers' per capita disposable income rose to about 41,600 yuan, up by 12.3 percent. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2025-03-18/Xi-Jinping-inspects-Guizhou-stresses-high-quality-development-1BQgj2REwKc/p.html
