Eight years ago, CGTN reporter Han Bin planted a tree on Zhaoshu Island—a tiny speck in the ocean once known for its dusty, barren landscapes. This week, he returned to find a thriving ecosystem locals now call a \"green treasure island.\"
Fishermen shared stories of how the island’s transformation began with that single sapling, which sparked a wave of reforestation efforts. Today, Zhaoshu boasts lush vegetation, migratory birds, and a renewed marine ecosystem. \"It’s like watching a desert turn into a garden,\" one resident said.
\"This tree isn’t just a symbol—it’s proof that small actions can rewrite an island’s future,\" Han Bin remarked during his revisit.
The project highlights China’s broader environmental initiatives, blending grassroots action with ecological goals. For travelers and eco-warriors alike, Zhaoshu’s story offers hope—and a blueprint for turning sustainability dreams into reality.
