Abstract
Located in the southeast of Anhui, Ningguo is one of the key mountainous counties and cities in the province. Covering 2,487 km2 with a total population of 380,000 people, Ningguo is known for being a land of “80% mountain, 10% water, 5% farmland and 5% road and park”. Since its location doesn’t give it any advantage, the city has accurately positioned itself in recent years and explored a path of innovative, comprehensive and green development suiting its actual conditions. It was titled “top 100 small and medium-sized cities in China” for five years in a row and “top 10 resource-saving and environmentally friendly small and medium-sized cities in China” for three years in a row, and it is a category-one city of scientific development in Anhui in terms of overall economic strength.
