Locals get a lift from residential upgrading

Weifang Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone is moving to transform its residential environment in line with the nation's rural revitalization strategy.

According to local officials, residents of 91 shanty towns agreed on a plan to relocate within the zone by April 29. And the clearing of the shanty town sites has begun.
