Residents confident of Xiongan's future

Xiongan New Area in Hebei province is expected to take off as the country's new growth engine.

The area has been preparing for this expansion since its establishment was announced in April, with President Xi Jinping pledging to make people's interests among the top priorities when pushing for the area's development.

Xi visited Anxin county in Xiongan on Feb 23 for an inspection tour before the announcement.
