Cycling wave sweeping urban green vein: Xingtai activates ecology and industrial vitality with "cycling +"

-- The new trend of green travel leads to the upgrading of urban leisure life

Xingtai, as the spring sun filled the bank of the Qili River, a bicycle activity with the theme of "Quancheng cycling, construction and peer" opened in the west square of Xingtai East Youliu Pier. More than 200 cycling enthusiasts shuttle along Shoujing South Road and the fitness greenway on the north bank of the Qilihe River.

The 10-kilometer cycling route not only connects the urban ecological landscape, but also becomes a vivid epitome of Xingtai City's promotion of "cycling +" industry integration and advocacy of green travel in recent years.

rom activity to scene: Cycling becomes the new business card of the city 

This spring, Xingtai City held a number of large-scale cycling activities under the theme of "Touring the spring City and promoting consumption". On March 29, Qilihe Sports Park welcomed more than 500 cycling enthusiasts, and participants rode 11 kilometers along Iron and Steel South Road and Binjiang South Road to enjoy the spring scenery of the Mother River along the way. The event not only set up a brand exhibition area, but also launched the "old for new" subsidy policy to attract citizens to participate in green travel. This series of measures echoes Xingtai's determination to build a "Taihang Spring City riding" brand.

According to the relevant person in charge of the sports bureau of Xingtai City, the improvement of the infrastructure such as the fitness green way and the Kangda Road on the north bank of the Qilihe River provides a natural track for cycling. Among them, the 48-kilometer "China Cycling Map" boutique route Kangda Road, with its "Red River Green Valley" unique landscape, has become a series of Tiandi Mountain, Jingmei Mountain, Qiannanyu and other scenic spots of the "star route". In the future, Xindu District plans to build the most beautiful bicycle sports belt in Taihang on this basis, build a bicycle town, cycling station, implant diversified formats such as events, culture, and tourism, and promote the integrated development of "cycling + ecological tourism", "cycling + red education" and "cycling + health care".

Industrial empowerment: transformation and upgrading from "manufacturing" to "intelligent manufacturing"

Pingxiang County, Xingtai City, Guangzong County, as an important bicycle (baby bike) industrial base, is taking advantage of the riding boom to accelerate industrial upgrading. On March 23, Yang Meng, secretary of the Xingtai Municipal Party Committee, stressed that it is necessary to promote production and industrial development by racing, and promote the bicycle industry to high-end and brand. At present, the two places are relying on the "plain rural water village" and other facilities to build a characteristic cycling track, organize mass cycling activities, and plan to build a bicycle "garden within the garden", introduce a shared intelligent manufacturing platform, and cultivate high value-added products.

"Riding hot" not only drives the local bicycle sales, but also gives birth to new business forms such as cultural innovation and competition economy. For example, the bicycle culture exhibition hall, cycling physiotherapy package, youth cycling summer camp and other projects planned along Kangda Road are gradually forming a "cycling economic ecosystem". A person in charge of a bicycle company in Pingxiang County said: "In the past, our products were mainly low-end, and now through the promotion of events and customized services, high-end sports bicycle sales increased by 30% year-on-year, and brand influence increased significantly."

Policy Escort: Build a "bike-friendly" urban ecology 

In order to create a national cycling atmosphere, Xingtai City is accelerating the improvement of infrastructure and policy support. For example, Shindu District plans to set up safety signs and mileage plates along Kangda Road, and lay out six basic stations to provide drinking water, maintenance and other services; The central urban area plans to normalize the "Spring City ride" activity, and plans to hold monthly events, covering organizations, communities, enterprises and other groups. In addition, the government also encourages modes such as "cycling + homestay" and "cycling + TCM physiotherapy" to further extend the consumption chain.

It is worth noting that Xingtai has deeply integrated cycling culture into urban planning. For example, the "Green Corridor" project in Beijing's urban sub-center provides "green transfer" solutions for citizens by expanding the slow walking system, connecting parks and subway stations, and will be extended to Hebei and Tianjin in the future to form a cross-regional cycling network. This model provides a reference for Xingtai - by connecting urban greenways, scenic spots and industrial belts, cycling is evolving from a single sport to a "green engine" that activates urban vitality.

Conclusion: Cycling makes the city more vivid 

From a cycling activity involving citizens to a planned cycling town; From the transformation and upgrading of the traditional manufacturing industry to the full spread of the "cycling +" ecology, Xingtai City is reshaping the urban life landscape with the concept of green travel. As Cheng Huimin, a citizen who participated in the ride, said: "Riding allows me to feel the beauty of nature while touching the surging vitality of the hometown industry." In the future, with the breakthrough of more cycling routes and the landing of industrial policies, this "Taihang Spring City" will use the wheel as a pen to draw a new chapter in the coordinated development of ecology, industry and people's livelihood.
