Hanzhong crafts elaborate prosperity

Blueprint includes initiatives to bolster the region's economic and social development

As this year is the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) period, the government of Hanzhong in Northwest China's Shaanxi province has developed a blueprint for the city's economic and social development over the coming five years, local officials said.

It covers many aspects including building a city brand integrating education and research, healthcare and rehabilitation, tourism and entrepreneurship.

The 14th Five-Year Plan period is crucial for Hanzhong to embark on a path of high-quality development, said Ma Jun, head of the Hanzhong development and reform commission. "Centering on the city brand, Hanzhong will carry out five projects and construct six centers to actively take part in the dual-circulation development pattern and begin a new journey of building a modern society," Ma said.
