Planning of Shiyan Ecological Binjiang New District

With the implementation of the South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project and the heightening of the Danjiangkou Dam, the water level of the Han River will rise to 170 meters. The Han River passes through Yunyang District, and some areas are submerged underwater. After the water level rises, the Han River will also form two open waters in Yunyang District, changing the existing urban pattern of Yunyang District and connecting Yunyang District on the Han River. The towns on the shore form a belt around the lake, forming a new pattern of urban and rural development that combines strips and rings.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project has put forward high requirements for water quality. Yunyang District has also been identified as the core water source area of ??the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and a national restricted development functional area. Based on this reality, the "Yunyang District" compiled in 2011 In the "Urban Development Strategic Plan", the development of Yunyang District is positioned as a "national clean water source, ecological and healthy waterfront city". The strategic plan also determines that "the county will be built on water, focus on national strategies, and break through functional limitations; Wenxing County highlights its cultural characteristics and breaks through the industrial layout; strengthens the county with industry, is based in northwest Hubei, and breaks through spatial limitations. At the same time, it builds a "national second-class water quality and water source protection model area and a domestic first-class ecological health and life-saving area" Four major development goals were proposed: "Northwestern Hubei Ecological Economic Experimental Zone and Shiyan Ecological Binjiang New Area".
