Thanks to several generations' efforts of Xinjiang people and the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, it has become a beautiful and developed city in the autonomous region. The urban green area has reached 2,580 hectares, the green space in parks has reached 341 hectares, as well as 8 theme parks are located across the city. Besides the changes of environment, the development of mechanical farming and modern technologies also inject vigor and vitality into the city. (Xinhua/Wang Fei)
