XIAMEN, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) — Since the 1980s, Xiamen, located in southeast China's Fujian, has spared no efforts in ecological restoration in the city. So far, Xiamen authorities have launched five campaigns aimed at Yundang Lake's ecological restoration. Now with six different parks, the lake area has virtually become a "recreational center" for residents.

The experience gained in the process were later put into use in similar endeavors in other parts of the city. The improved environment has provided new opportunities of economic development for the city and better natural resources for the people.
