“Ode to the beautiful Hebei, pay tribute to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC” program was shot in Qinhuangdao to show the most beautiful natural resources in Hebei province, which introduces us the Qiyun Hill ecological restoration project and witness the transformation of the old mine.
“There used to be mine pits of rock-fill materials, like scars on the hill, destroying the ecology, but now it has changed.” said Wang Chenjun from the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau of the Qinhuangdao Development Zone.
The Qiyun Hill Ecological Restoration Project is located in the center of the western area of the Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological Development Zone. Due to mining operations in the 1980s, the Qiyun Hill was destroyed and more than 20 mines were left, causing serious soil erosion.

In July 2017, Qinhuangdao City was listed by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development as a pilot city for urban improvement, and the Qiyun Hill restoration project was launched, aiming to restore the ecology, and implement the concept of “lush mountain and lucid water are invaluable asset..
“We carried out disaster prevention engineering design on the basis of the disaster prevention assessment of the Qiyun Hill, and repaired and protected the slope of the mine,”said Wang Chenjun.
On the basis of solving the overall safety of the hill, they made landscape design in line with the natural topography and landforms, to green the hill, build the waterfalls, sports park, Nanshan Garden, and interactive and experiential recreation node covering the whole age, making it a beautiful park in urban area.

The project adopts the method of “flexible slope protection + soil spraying’, to prevent earth disasters, ensure the stability of the bedrock, beautify the cliff with eco-bag greening and vines, forming a green landscape matched with the water surface.
They consolidated the slop with platform retaining walls and concrete lattice beams, and vines were planted to make it more beautiful. They also took measures to promote the restoration of vegetation.
They reshaped the terrain and increased vegetation to create new biological communities, integrating natural ecology and artificial landscaping, and building a low-mountain hilly plant landscape with vegetation characteristics and rich ecological functions in Yanshan Mountain.
They created waterscapes and multi-level landscapes based on gullies and ecological weirs, and built a water circulation system based on the natural flowing water landscape connected through the ditches.
Wang Chenjun said that the Qiyun Hill is 200 meters high, which is the highest hill in the urban area with unique pattern and landscape resources, overlooking Haigang District, Beidaihe District and Funing District.
The project focuses on health care, wedding celebration service, and sports and entertainment, creating interactive and experiential recreation node covering the whole age through restoring mines, building vegetation landscapes, and constructing flood control system, and making Qiyun Hill the most beautiful destination in Qinhuangdao.
