Premier Li Keqiang on Sept 25 visited the new district in eastern Zhengzhou, capital of Central China’s Henan province.

More than a decade ago, Premier Li, then governor of Henan province, was in charge of the planning for the new district. He invited bids from all over the world and confirmed the plan by law to assure implementation of the construction.

The then-deserted land now has become a modern city with a population of over one million, which exactly meets the expectation of the Premier.
