The Liyuan Hydropower Station, nestled on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, stands as a testament to China’s commitment to sustainable development. Beyond its impressive engineering, what sets this hydropower station apart is its harmonious integration with the surrounding ecological environment.
Achieving such a balance between development and environmental preservation was no small feat. Planner Duan Liming and his dedicated team undertook extensive field surveys and ecological research throughout the construction process. Their meticulous approach ensured that the natural landscape was not only preserved but enhanced.
A key outcome of their efforts was the establishment of a rare botanical garden. This garden has played a vital role in preserving the local ecosystem, providing a sanctuary for native plant species and contributing to biodiversity conservation in the region.
The green mission of China’s hydropower engineers at the Liyuan Hydropower Station exemplifies how infrastructure development can coexist with environmental stewardship. Their work offers a valuable model for sustainable practices in engineering projects worldwide.
