Handan, Hebei: Camellias Bloom, Spring Brings Good Prospects; Ecological Restoration Adds New Scenery

CCTV News: What you see now is the ten thousand mu ecological forest located in Fengfeng Mine District, Yijing Town, Handan, Hebei Province. Since early March, various species of camellia blossoms have gradually opened here, with red like clouds, white like snow, green fading red, and colorful. All kinds of camellia blossoms are bathed in spring sunshine, swaying gracefully on the branches, with a fragrant and beautiful view. This beautiful scenery has also attracted nearby villagers and tourists, who linger under the camellia trees, embracing the full spring colors.

Fengfeng Mine District was once an old labor mine district, with small and large barren slopes and lands left after many years of mining. In recent years, the local government has implemented ecological restoration projects, adding over five thousand mu of greening area each year, turning the mines into mountains and the mine district into a scenic area, forming a unique landscape of 'green in spring, flowers in summer, fruits in autumn, and evergreen in winter'.
