Tian'e outlines goals for 14th Five-Year Plan

Hechi's Tian'e county will promote industrialization, agricultural modernization, tourism, and urbanization during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), promoting high-quality development.

The county will cooperate with Luodian county in Guizhou province to construct an industrial park and develop calcium carbonate, food, and traditional Chinese medicine industries, as well as the processing of forestry and agricultural products.

The county will make full use of its hydropower, wind power and solar power clean energy sources to serve economic development. It is projected that Tian'e will eventually be able to develop a comprehensive clean energy base, achieving an output value of 5 billion yuan ($777 million) in the next five years.

Tian'e will promote large-scale, industrialized and brand-oriented agriculture, and improve the quality and competitiveness of agricultural products. The quality of characteristic products such as Longtan plums, walnuts, chestnuts, beef, and mutton will also be improved.

With the potential to become a destination for healthcare tourism, the county will aim to attract health tourists as well as promote rural tourism. A healthcare tourism resort will be built along the Hongshui River. In addition, the county will promote the culture and traditions of the Zhuang ethnic group, with the aim of attracting tourists interested in learning more about the local culture.

Also, Tian'e will continue to raise living standards and improve its infrastructure, as well as accelerate the integration of urban and rural areas.
