As global delegates gather for the 3rd China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) in Beijing's Shunyi District, a quieter story unfolds beyond the conference halls: the district's remarkable fusion of ecological preservation and urban vitality. Nestled amid the buzz of international trade talks, Shunyi reveals itself as a sanctuary where nature and modernity coexist seamlessly.
The Wucai Shallow Mountain and Waterfront National Hiking Trail has emerged as a star attraction, offering visitors winding paths through forests and wetlands that contrast sharply with the expo's technological displays. Local authorities emphasize that this landscape reflects Beijing's broader strategy to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship, creating 'green lungs' for the megacity.
More Than Scenery: Cultural Tapestry
Shunyi's appeal extends beyond its trails. The district boasts a thriving arts community, with converted industrial spaces hosting contemporary galleries, while traditional courtyard restaurants serve regional delicacies like zhajiangmian noodles. This cultural duality positions Shunyi as a microcosm of China's development narrative – honoring heritage while embracing innovation.
With CISCE expected to draw over 100,000 visitors, tourism officials anticipate renewed interest in Shunyi's unique offerings. As one local guide noted: 'The expo brings the world here, but our landscapes and traditions make them stay longer.'
