Xiushui New District of Jiaxing City is one of the natural wetlands with rich biodiversity, concentrated wetland resources, and well-maintained wetland ecology in the Hangjiahu Plain in the Yangtze River Delta. The area and its surrounding harbors are crisscrossed vertically and densely with lakes. The water town has rich cultural connotations and profound heritage. It is a typical representative of the “ancient canal-lake group” wetland in the southern plain of the Taihu Lake Basin.
Jiaxing has always been a pioneer in promoting urban-rural integration, which has a good foundation and obvious advantages to establish a national pilot zone for urban-rural integration. As the only pilot in Jiahu District of Zhejiang, one of the eleven national pilot zones for urban-rural integration, Xiushui New District is the most exemplary and benchmark area for urban-rural integration; as a demonstration zone and coordination zone for the green and ecological integration development of the Yangtze River Delta, it is an important space component for the implementation of the Yangtze River Delta integration strategy, an important carrier for the implementation of the national ecological civilization concept and the transformation of the “two mountains” theory, and also shoulders the future mission of the pioneer practice of urban-rural integration.
