The Nanjing Hexi section of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is located along the river in Hexi New City. It is about 11 kilometers long from north to south, with a total area of 4.37 square kilometers. In recent years, Jianye District has adopted a series of effective methods adapted to local conditions. The connection of the urban transportation system and the provision of modern service facilities have made the Hexi section quickly become a new hot spot for tourism and a holiday destination for Nanjing citizens. It receives nearly 6 million tourists every year, and more than 300 batches of domestic and foreign investigations.

It has contributed the “Jianye Wisdom” and “Jianye Plan” to the national and even global water control work.
