(250313) -- XIONG'AN, March 13, 2025 (Xinhua) -- An aerial drone photo taken on Jan. 9, 2025 shows a construction site in the start-up zone of Xiong'an New Area, north China's Hebei Province.

Since China announced plans to establish the Xiong'an New Area in April 2017, it has evolved from a blueprint into a vibrant city.

The development of Xiong'an New Area, dubbed China's "city of the future," has entered a phase when the same importance must be attached to both its large-scale construction and its purpose to relieve Beijing of functions non-essential to its role as the national capital. (Xinhua/Mu Yu)
