In March 2019, the provincial authorities found the area was crowded with fishing boats, shantytowns, polluting enterprises, illegal wharves, animal farms and solid waste dumps.

The city government has made great efforts to restore not only Xuejiawa itself, but a whole area of 30 square kilometers which extends 23 kilometers along the Yangtze.
