  Focusing on breakthroughs in 6 aspects and striving for double in 4 years

  On March 1, Saturday, cars with license plates of cities in Sichuan, Guizhou or Chongqing were parking in a parking lot of Danwan Square, Binjiang Road, which was rebuilt. People with different accents were drinking tea, chatting, and enjoying the good spring day.

  “My parents and children live in Luzhou. We visit them on weekends.” Mr. Li, working in Chishui City, Guizhou, lives in Luzhou. “The medical and education resources are good. We do not worry my parents and children.”

  On holidays, cars with license plates of cities in Sichuan, Guizhou or Chongqing reach Luzhou from 5 exits of Luzhou 97 km Round Expressway. People spend the weekends with family. This has been a new scene in Wine City.

  “Luzhou is a dominant place in southwest China.” By the convenience of two rivers, Luzhou has naturally been a distribution center combining Sichuan, Yunan, Guizhou, and Chongqing and economic and cultural center in southwest Sichuan in history. During Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, Luzhou, the same as Chengdu and Chongqing, became a national commercial city and one of 33 metropolises.

  As the only city conjunction of Sichuan, Yunan, Chongqing and Guizhou, to implement two initiatives, Luzhou establishes breakthroughs in 6 aspects, namely industrial development, urban construction, investment leading, county economy, open cooperation, and livelihood, and aims to double it in 2016. The focus of these 6 aspects is urban construction.

  In next 3 years, the goal of Luzhou is to build herself into a combining center city with more beautiful environment, stronger industries, more functions, higher quality, more outstanding in medicare, education, culture, and tourism, and much happier people. The specific aim is that “by 2016 the constructed area in central city amounts to 130 square kilometers with population of 1.3 billion”.

  Larger Urban Scale

  Luzhou insists on planning from a higher point of view. Under the guidance of urban overall planning, the control coverage in planning area reach 100% with specialized plans constantly improved. The planning includes the establishment of vegetable market setting and the distribution of kindergartens. The planning emphasizes on construction of provincial level demonstration small towns. By constructing a group of key small towns with good foundation, potential, strong influence and demonstrations, and obvious industrial support and specialties, all the small towns in Luzhou will get comprehensive development. From 2013 to 2016, Luzhou focuses on building 15 key small towns.

  Smooth Urban Traffic

  The style of Luzhou urban construction is group development. How do these city groups connect with each other? In order to resolve cross river traffic problems, Luzhou begins 6 cross bridge traffic control program including Tuojiang 4 bridges, Linyu Yangtze Bridge, and Zhongshan tunnel program. How do people go out of city smoothly? Luzhou constructs 8 expressway entrances including Along River Expressway Chengnan, Wine City Street to West Luzhou, so as to improve the accessibility of entrances. “We are discussing and researching the construction program of city rail transit planning.” Said responsible official from Development and Reform Commission of Luzhou. He also said that to resolve traffic problems, some plannings are moderately advanced.

  Stronger Urban Industries

  Mr. Jiang Fuyi, secretary of Luzhou municipal party committee, said, “without the support of industries, a city is just an empty one even through it is beautiful.” Based on the principle of combination industries with Luzhou, Luzhou plans to build 5 industrial parks along the river. Aimed to enlarge and upgrade the parks in control areas, Luzhou strive to expand the original constructed area 29.7 square kilometers in 2012 into over 45 square kilometers in 2016. 5 industrial parks could annually provide more than 10,000 jobs. Workers become urban citizens.

  Excellent city functions and quality

  Mr. Liu Qiang, mayor of Luzhou, said, “wherever the city expands, it is necessary to be equipped with schools and hospitals.” City functions and quality determine the level of citizen happiness index. On June 29, 2013, Luzhou Education and Science Center started. On July 2, 2013, across the river, Southwest Medical Health City was initiated with a total investment of 6.5 billion yuan. Both locate in the best places in west and north Luzhou. The completion of these two projects will mark the concentration and renewal of quality resources in education and health care. To improve urban functions and quality, Luzhou builds logistics center, trade and commerce center, medical and health center, education and research center, industrial center, financial service center, tourism service center, to make Luzhou a good place for living, doing business, getting education, and traveling.

  By 2016, Luzhou plans to complete 6 city squares, including Chenglong Touguan Square, Qilin Culture Square, and so on, 5 national parks, including Zhognshan Park, Xueshishan Mountain, etc., 6 regional parks, including Shidong Parks, Yudai River Park, and so on, 4 specialized parks, such as Botanical Garden, Wine City Happy Valley and so on. Luzhou will complete the upgrading of 5 city scenic spots of Fangshan Hill, Fenghuang Lake, etc., and protection of 7 historical and cultural sites, like Jiang Zhaohe Resistance Building, and Nanding Building. Over the years, by constructing national forest city, demonstration city with beautiful environment, national garden city and excellent tourism city, Luzhou integrates landscape resources and shape a new image.

  In spring, Luzhou Binjiang Road is crowned with people. Some people may have a close touch with water. Some enjoy the Hundreds of Wine Picture. In 2012, Luzhou Municipal Party Committee and Luzhou Municipal Government decided to plan and renovate two rivers and 4 banks in different phases and levels. After 2 years, Binjiang Road in now in new appearance. People exclaim that “an entire renovation”!

  On January, 2014, Luzhou was identified as one of the first batch cities with millions of population in Sichuan.

  At the beginning point of a new journey, Luzhou will emerge rapidly as a conjunction of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Chongqing.
