Fence helps lift sense of security for village folk

With iron fences surrounding villages in Daxing district and security guards manning the entrances at all times, residents say they feel much safer now.

A year ago, Daxing district government erected iron fences, set up watch houses and installed surveillance cameras in 151 villages that had large migrant populations and bad security situations.

The strengthened safety measures also stipulated that people must provide proof of identity every time they enter the villages or whenever patrolling guards ask them to do so.
