Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, spent Wednesday afternoon inspecting Lanzhou, the vibrant capital of Gansu Province located in the northwest region of the Chinese mainland.
During his visit, Xi explored a local community and a picturesque section of the Yellow River, where he delved into initiatives aimed at enhancing public services, boosting residents' well-being, maintaining comprehensive public order, and promoting ecological conservation in the Yellow River basin.
Lanzhou, a city gracefully nestled along the banks of the Yellow River in its upper reaches, serves as a crucial hub for these transformative efforts. While walking along the Yellow River near the iconic Zhongshan Bridge, Xi emphasized the importance of sustained ecological conservation and high-quality development to ensure the river's beauty and health for generations to come.

At a community center in Lanzhou, Xi highlighted the significance of prioritizing care for the elderly and children as key components of improving public services. He stressed that community work is the backbone of urban governance and should be strengthened to truly benefit the public.
\"Community work is carried out for the well-being of residents, and providing quality services should be a priority,\" Xi stated, underscoring the importance of nurturing strong, supportive communities.
Xi Jinping's visit underscores the Chinese mainland's ongoing commitment to sustainable development and the betterment of its communities, ensuring that economic growth harmonizes with environmental preservation and social well-being.
