Solar panels in the tea garden "borrow" sunlight to generate power, while the Xin'an river hydropower station gather the force of water and light . Electricity is breathing new life into the countryside. From the curling smoke over Yanzhou Ancient Town, to the glowing lamps along Dongpo Road, to the dazzling night view of West Lake——every scene bears the imprint of electricity driving common prosperity.
