The establishment of xiong’an new area in Hebei Province is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core to further promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and it is a Millennium plan and a national event. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader personally made decisions, personally deployed and personally promoted, and devoted a lot of efforts to guide the planning and construction of xiong’an new area.
In 6 years, more than 2,000 days and nights, xiong’an new area is a city of the future with high starting point planning, high standard construction and high quality development. It has broken ground, sprouted and grown, and strode towards us.
High standards, new ideas — — Relieve Beijing’s non-capital function and build a benchmark city

Today, there are 14 pairs of intercity trains between Beijing and Xiong ‘an every day. With the acceleration of the construction of the external backbone transportation network, the ancient capital of the Millennium and the city of the future are increasingly closely linked and integrated.
About 30 kilometers to the west of Xiong ‘an Station, tower cranes stand in the core area of xiong’an new area Start-up Zone, and builders sweat on this hot land, constantly refreshing "China Quality" and "China Speed".
On the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, xiong’an new area, as an important wing of Beijing’s development, is accelerating the rise of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, an important pole of high-quality development in China.
Time goes back to more than six years ago.
On the morning of February 23, 2017, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made a special trip to Anxin County, Hebei Province to inspect the general situation of the core area of the planned new district. In Xiaowangying Village, Dawang Town, the general secretary walked into an open field and looked far away. This is the core plot of the planned xiong’an new area starting area.

General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that the planning and construction of xiong’an new area is a strategic choice of great historical significance and a historic project to relieve Beijing’s non-capital function and promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has deployed a major strategy to promote the coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei. The core is to explore a mode of optimal development of densely populated areas and find a way to solve the "big city disease" with China characteristics.
The planning and construction of xiong’an new area is the key to further promote the implementation of the grand strategy of coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei, and to build a centralized bearing place for Beijing’s non-capital functions.

The general secretary stressed that the new district should first be forward-looking and leading in the concept of planning and construction. We must fully implement the new development concept, adhere to the requirements of high-quality development, and strive to create a benchmark for high-quality development in the new era.
Millennium plans must stand the test of history and reflect the style of the times.

After "planning", xiong’an new area’s construction and development have been accelerated in an all-round way. In 2019, a major shift from planning to construction will be realized; In 2020, it will enter a new stage of large-scale construction; In 2021, it will enter an important stage of undertaking Beijing’s non-capital function and simultaneous construction … … A blueprint is drawn to the end, and a beautiful picture of high-quality development is slowly unfolding.
