Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday visited the Hefei Binhu Science City in Hefei -- the capital city of east China's Anhui Province -- on his current inspection tour in the province.
During the visit, Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, asked about the local efforts to advance institutional innovation of science and technology, and accelerate the application of scientific and technological advances.
An inland city much less conspicuous a decade earlier, Hefei today stands as a thriving cluster of cutting-edge science and technology and dynamic tech-intensive industries.
The Hefei Binhu Science City encompasses Feidong County, Feixi County, Baohe District, Shushan District, and Luyang District, covering four national-level development zones and three provincial-level development zones. It is a key development area designated by the national major functional zoning plan and is responsible for the construction of the province's science and technology market, as well as providing support service for national laboratories.
In the course of its development over recent years, the science city, has actively striven to build itself into a world-class science zone with more concentrated scientific research elements, more dynamic technological innovation, better life services, and a more vibrant ecological environment.
