Maoming's efforts in ecological restoration, beautiful bay construction

Since 2003, Maoming city has been committed to the ecological restoration of the Shuidong Bay mangroves and the construction of a beautiful bay.

After years of effort, the city has restored mangrove planting to an area exceeding 280 hectares, making Shuidong Bay one of the country's largest contiguous artificial mangrove planting bases. This creates a unique seaside forest landscape.
