River face-lift improves living environment in Liaoyuan

Updated: December 28, 2020

Xianren River, a once tainted river which was described as an "open sewer"”, in Liaoyuan city of Jilin province, has taken on a brand new look after unremitting citywide efforts were made in foul water treatment.

As a key part of Liaoyuan's municipal works and a popular public project, the government attached great importance to the project's progress. The now-clean river has greatly improved the surrounding living environment as well as the livelihoods of the local people.
