BEIJING, March 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Every morning, 70-year-old Wang Helai and his wife stroll along the newly restored Longquan River trail near their home in Hebei Province’s Xiongan New Area. What was once a fragmented, littered dry channel is now a clear waterway lined with greenery. After the walk, they head straight to the community cafeteria in their compound, where meals are tailored for seniors and offer discounts for those over 60. Their daughter, who runs a nearby gym, often volunteers in the community.
For the family, education, healthcare, shopping, and recreation are all within a 15-minute radius. This seamless “15-minute life circle” captures how Xiongan has transformed daily living for ordinary residents, turning a planned city into a truly livable home.
