The Hechi municipal government set a number of targets for 2020 to improve people's livelihoods, according to the city's government work report released at the two sessions held from Jan 6 to 7.

Poverty alleviation efforts will be boosted in 2020 to lift Luocheng, Du'an, and Dahua counties, as well as 64,000 people out of poverty.

It is also expected that at least two 4G base stations will be established for each impoverished village in the city, and that the collective annual income of each impoverished person will exceed 50,000 yuan ($7,202).

The five industries of cocoon silk, nonferrous metals, wine, drinking water, and calcium carbonate will be developed in 2020 to create more jobs for Hechi residents.

In addition, it is expected that the total output value of the five municipal-level industrial parks will reach 28 billion yuan by the end of 2020. Ten projects, each of which has an investment of more than 50 million yuan, will be introduced to the city.

The Hezhou-Bama and the Rongshui-Hechi expressways will be open to traffic in 2020. Construction of the Hechi section of the Guiyang-Nanning High-speed Railway will also be advanced and finish the investment of 3.5 billion yuan.
