It seems that Xiong'an has become a hot topic across China overnight. Almost everyone is talking about it this month. That's because on April 1,2017 ,China announced it would build Xiong'an New Area in Hebei Province.

The area is only an hour's drive from Beijing and surrounded by Shijiazhuang ,Tianjin and Beijing. It has a large space to develop and will grow to cover 2 000 square kilometers. It will be as important as Shenzhen Special Economic Zone(深圳经济特区) and the Pudong New Area, according to the State Council( 国务院).

It will help solve big city problems in Beijing, such as traffic jams and air pollution, reported Xinhua News Agency. For example, many companies, universities and scientific research centers will move from Beijing to the new area. Some companies have already made plans to relocate( 迁移) many of their factories there,

The natural environment of the area is also nice for people to live and work in. It is home to Baiyangdian, one of the largest freshwater wetlands in North China. With more than 140 lakes, the wetland is known as the "pearl( 珍珠) of the North China Plain"
