FUZHOU, CHINA - Media OutReach - 24 October 2022 - The spokespersons of the delegations from seven provinces (cities), including Fujian Province, Heilongjiang Province, Shanghai and Jiangsu Province, present on the evening of October 18.

According to the Fujian Provincial Information Office The Fujian delegation introduced in detail the new developments in Fujian over recent years in the promotion and innovation of "Fu" (which means blessings) culture and the ecological civilization construction.

Fujian, having 4 world cultural heritage sites, 8 entries in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists, and 145 entries in the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China, now rank among the top throughout China in terms of the number of World Heritage sites. The culture of "Fu" is infused in every aspect of the people of Fujian.

People could even enjoy the sweet and fresh air in Fujian. Known as "A Landscape Gallery and Pure Land of Blessings within the Mundane World", Fujian, with the Wuyi Mountains to the west and the vast ocean to the east, has become China's first pilot ecological civilization zone in 2016 and ranked among the top in China over years for Green Eco-Civilization Index. Ecosystem stability, sustainability and biodiversity in Fujian have been effectively maintained, and 39 reform achievements in the ecological civilization pilot zone have been replicated and promoted in China. In Fujian, the proportion of good air days in cities reached 99.2%, and the proportion of good water quality in 12 major rivers reached 97.3%.
