One is a bustling traffic, the other is a tranquil haven, yet they are less than 100 meters apart!

If in a city, one scene is a busy street with flowing traffic and bustling horses, while the other is a tranquil and fresh piece of untouched nature, and these two places are less than 100 meters apart, would you believe it? This time, Shan Ye Jun will introduce you to such a place—a remarkable achievement of a small city pursuing both green development and economic growth.

A serene, picturesque spot is usually far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. For example, at first glance, you'd think it's in a remote village, because only remote villages have such an environment. Is that really the case? Shan Ye Jun will leave you with a suspense for now and come back to it later.

About 30 meters from that farmhouse, there is the vegetable garden of that household. So it's safe to conclude that this is indeed a rural area, and a remote one at that. But it differs from other villages—this place has been developed, but in a green, healthy, and scientific way, preserving the original natural features.

Seeing the bamboo cut down by the farmer, I couldn't help but recall my childhood in a poor and remote village. Back then, I longed to come to the city, but now seeing these scenes brings back so many memories. I don't know why, but the sight stirs emotions.

Walking into this quiet haven, even through a photo you can feel the warmth, comfort, and freshness. It feels just like an original countryside. But how far is it from the city? If I told you it is less than 100 meters from the bustling city streets, would you believe it?

Walking about 100 meters along the village path in this tranquil place, you reach the main road of the city. The street is filled with flowing traffic—it's hard to believe that from here to the quiet village is less than 100 meters. If Shan Ye Jun hadn't experienced it personally, I wouldn't believe it either!

A city road with two-way four lanes, and in some parts two-way six lanes, is quite a high-standard urban road, right? Yet it is only a hundred meters from this peaceful village. Some might ask where this is. This road is located on Gongye Road in Ningguo City, in the mountainous area of southern Anhui. It is a fast route connecting the National Economic and Technological Development Zone to the southern and eastern parts of Ningguo, and is one of the city's municipal roads.

I used to think that urban development and ecological environment were inversely related, but now I've changed my mind. New small and medium-sized cities learn from the experiences of big cities, playing to their strengths and avoiding weaknesses, to create a development plan that suits them. The urban and rural construction of Ningguo City has been carried out under a scientific and rational plan. Although the city has developed impressively, the nearby villages have retained their original ecological environment. This is the future development trend for small and medium-sized cities in China.

The advantage of a mountainous city in southern Anhui is that it can build itself into an eco-friendly small and medium-sized city. Next to the Xijin Bridge in the center of Ningguo, you can see such clear river water that you might think you've arrived at Jiuzhaigou in western Sichuan. The key point is that this environment is less than 100 meters from the city center—surprising, isn't it?

Along the Xijin River, such a green city park has been built. The environment is absolutely first-class. And this park is just below Fenghuang Bridge. In other words, from the city bridge to this green park, it's not even ten meters away, let alone a hundred. What a surprise!

Since Ningguo City was upgraded from a county to a city in 1997, it has integrated green development with urban construction. From the commercial complex in the city center to those tranquil villages and parks, it's only about a hundred meters away. It seems that Ningguo's green development, scientific development, and sustainable development have been quite successful.

In Ningguo, there are many places where the original ecological parks and quiet villages are less than 100 meters from the bustling city roads. Shan Ye Jun has simply listed two locations: one in the south of the city and one in the city center. If you are interested, why not come and experience it for yourself?
