(Xinhua\/Yin Gang)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Beijing on Monday published a detailed draft plan for its core area to solicit public opinions in the coming month.<\/p>\n<p>The core area of the capital, including Dongcheng and Xicheng districts and covering an area of 92.5 square km, will be endowed with the functions of the country&#8217;s political, cultural and international exchange center.<\/p>\n<p>The plan gives priority to the protection of the city&#8217;s numerous cultural heritages including underground archaeological ruins, historic streets and parks, ancient alleyways, revolutionary historic sites and waterways.<\/p>\n<p>Demolition in the core area is also prohibited to sustain the historical layout of the ancient capital, the draft plan showed.<\/p>\n<p>The plan underlines that the area is more than a political center, but also an ancient capital city with rich cultural heritage, said Yang Baojun, head of the China Academy of Urban Planning and Design.<\/p>\n<p>In order to better promote traditional local culture and tourism, 10 touring routes will be designed across the city to offer tourists a glimpse into Beijing&#8217;s diverse culture and landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The plan intends to improve the living environment of residents by allocating more land for building public service facilities.<\/p>\n<p>The ratio of public space areas will be raised from the current 34.4 percent to 38.9 percent, according to the plan, which cover the period from 2018 to 2035.<\/p>\n<p>More high-quality resources in education, nursing homes and health service will be deployed outside the core areas, to provide more balanced services to citizens, the plan says.<\/p>\n<p>The draft plan will accept suggestions and opinions from the public until Jan. 28, 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2019-12-31 08:59:47XinhuaEditor : Gu Liping Tourists&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business","category-china"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20886"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20886\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20887,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20886\/revisions\/20887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lapost.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
