When we take the bus, get on the online car-hailing or ride a shared bicycle, it seems that we couldn't recall the times when we used to travel mainly by bicycle.
Qinhuangdao is more than 300 kilometers away from Beijing
It takes only over 2 hours to ride the high-speed train
But the crowded stuffy green-colored train
moved too slow to pass over our childhood just now
This is the change we have experienced together
This is the forty years we have walked together
The Qinhuangdao Economic and Technological Development Zone is one of the first batch of state-level development zones. It was established in 1984. At the beginning of the construction the development zone was deserted and dusty. Today's development zone has already become a hot spot for investment, and turned a magnificent picture of green mountains and waters.

Nowadays, the medical conditions are getting better and better, and even a mobile phone can help patients who used to queue up to pay, register, check the inspection results and so on.

At the intersection of Wenhua Road and Hebei Road, Qinhuangdao City, a commercial service building was built in 1978. It was awarded the advanced unit by the Ministry of Commerce with excellent service and was hailed as “the First Building East of Beijing” and has now been demolished. And on May 25, 2015, the intersection of Hebei Street and Wenhua Road in Qinhuangdao City appeared like this.
In 1898, the port of Qinhuangdao was opened. At that time, only sporadic ships were docked. Now it has developed into a world-class energy port with advanced process and high degree of automation. Today's developments have condensed the sweat and efforts of several generations of Qinhuangdao people.
The age does not grow old, the heart does not change
Pay tribute to the reformers
Pay tribute to the years of hard work together
Reform does not stop, opening-up does not stop
For a better Qinhuangdao, for a better China
We will continue to work hard!
