The gross domestic product of Quzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, increased from 123 billion yuan ($18.34 billion) in 2016 to 187.6 billion yuan in 2021, according to official data.

In the past five years, the city's total fiscal revenue and general public budget revenue increased by 11.9 percent and 9.8 percent, respectively, and investment in fixed assets increased by 9 percent.

During this period, city-level financial expenditures on people's livelihoods increased by an average of 12 percent annually, and the average annual growth rate of per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents continuously ranked among the top three in the province.

In addition, to help achieve peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality, the city has set up a carbon account for enterprises.

Through the energy collector and other tools installed on the production line of the enterprise, energy consumption data for each enterprise, including electricity, natural gas and steam, are collected, and the carbon account will create an energy consumption figure for each energy consumer, providing a basis for energy consumption management and industrial adjustment.

To achieve common prosperity and promote rural vitalization, the city has been facilitating the construction of a "future village" program.

For example, relying on its unique painting background, Yudong village has created the province's first future village featuring farmer paintings.

During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, about 11,000 tourists visited Yudong village, generating 126,000 yuan in income for local agritainment and homestays. Farmer paintings and related cultural and creative products enjoyed strong sales, said Yu Xiaoqin, Party secretary of Yudong village.
