Making use of the space advantages and architectural features of the principal venue to build a complex is another idea of the operation of Tangshan Huahai after the provincial Garden Expo.

According to Peng Zhengrong, the first floor of the venue will hold or undertake various large-scale activities from time to time, forming an important window to show the image of Tangshan and Kaiping.

Four years ago, Tangshan Huahai, between the main urban area of Tangshan and Kaiping District, was also covered with coal mining subsidence areas, steel industry remains and “scattered pollution” small enterprises. Dust flying, garbage everywhere, sewage cross-flow, is a “urban scar” between the main urban area of Tangshan and Kaiping District. After significant efforts in ecological governance and restoration and urban renewal, the green transformation has been realized here, and it has become the back garden of the city.

However, for Tangshan Huahai, ecological improvement is only the first step. How to well use ecology to bring excellent projects, gather high popularity, promote fresh development, and let the ecological effect derive more economic and social benefits is the real embodiment of the “backyard Expo” effect.

“Nowadays, the fast pace of work and life makes’ slow life ‘the goal of the public, and camping has become one of the hottest leisure ways at present.” Peng Zhengrong said that on the premise of not destroying the ecological foundation, relying on the advantages of streams and vegetation of Huahai, the Flowery Valley Camp is built to make the ecological green space become a leisure camp, which is an exploration of the function improvement and expansion of Tangshan Huahai after the provincial Garden Expo. At present, many theme activities have been held here, such as the music midsummer night camping season and the cute pet parent-child tent festival.

With lush flowers and trees, the good ecology of Tangshan Huahai not only made camping popular but also provides a broad space for children to explore nature and carry out research and study tours.

From July 16 to 17, “DS natural exploration competition” Tangshan station was held in Huahai, with over 700 groups of families taking part. In the competition, with the help of parents, children climb obstacles and step through the mud to gain the fun of field competition under the baptism of nature.

“This track design integrates the existing natural landscape of Tangshan Huahai, making the competition more challenging. Through the competition, children can become stronger, brave and confident.” According to the relevant person in charge of the organizing committee of the event, “DS nature exploration competition,” is a classic event focusing on the outdoor survival skills of teenagers, which is held as a national tour every year.

By exploring nature, Tangshan Huahai has become a training base for children and an outdoor classroom for understanding nature.

Tangshan Huahai will also rely on the northern wetland area and adhere to the natural concept of “taking the forest as the classroom and the wetland as the textbook” to build a natural education base for children aged 3 to 12. Soon, the region will hold natural research activities focusing on 1-day camp. Around weekends, small holidays, winter and summer holidays, it will carry out research activities on topics such as colorful nature, tracing nature, exploring nature, and become a natural research base integrating “natural research, entertainment experience, and parent-child activities” in Tangshan city.

Intelligent empowerment, "digital housekeeper" accurately conserves the ecosystem

“How much labour and material resources are needed to realize daily maintenance of such a large area of green space and countless flowers, plants and trees?” The reporter found the answer on the mobile phone of the on-site maintenance personnel.

The total area of green space, the number of on-site personnel, the number of missing seedlings, seedling filling records, maintenance logs... Open the “ecological housekeeper” App, and the maintenance information of Tangshan Huahai green space is clear at a glance.

"Ecological housekeeper" smart management App

“This is our innovative introduction of the ‘ecological housekeeper’ intelligent maintenance management system, which can realize management and maintenance applications such as seedling management, comprehensive inspection and emergency repair of ancillary facilities.” Peng Zhengrong introduced that the total service area of greening maintenance services is about 2million square meters. Compared with general manual maintenance, the “ecological housekeeper” this year is expected to save 15% of the maintenance cost. In the future, with the improvement and upgrading of the irrigation system in the region, the maintenance cost can be gradually reduced by 20% to 30%.

Digital maintenance is not only low cost but also accurate and efficient.

This system can realize the innovation of assessment management mechanism through digital analysis. Through data model establishment and big data analysis, various management reports can be provided for managers to improve their work efficiency. The staff can collect, improve and enter the maintenance infrastructure information of the park, and carry out daily maintenance and update according to the management status, and assist the greening management and maintenance team in statistical analysis and work planning.

“At the end of last year, the Kaiping District government signed a cooperation framework agreement with us to create a carbon neutralization technology demonstration area that can be promoted and replicated and a demonstration project to transform ecological value into economic value.” Peng Zhengrong introduced that according to the plan, Tangshan Huahai will launch the ecological housekeeper ecological assessment system and carbon neutralization monitoring system at the end of this year, using ecological models to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the ecological functions and low-carbon benefits of green space assets in the park, give full play to the ecological and carbon neutralization values of the park, and help Tangshan achieve the double carbon goal.
