Dubbed China's youngest city and a "city of the future," Xiong'an New Area marks its fifth anniversary on April 1. China announced plans to establish Xiong'an New Area on April 1, 2017, to relieve Beijing of functions non-essential to its role as the national capital and advance the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. By the end of 2021, construction has begun on 177 key projects in Xiong'an, with a total investment of 618.4 billion yuan ($97.2 billion). Sixty of them have been completed. So far, the major roads to the city, the main streets in the city, the Ecological Corridor, and the urban water system have taken shape. [Photo/Xinhua]
