Huzhou in East China's Zhejiang province designated 15 bases to study the "Two Mountains" theory on July 20, according to local media reports.

The "Two Mountains" theory – which states that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets – was firstly proposed in Huzhou's Anji county in 2005, which has since proved to be an important guide for both rural and urban areas in China, as the country seeks high-quality economic growth and abides by its global commitments on ecological protection and development. 

The city also unveiled five routes across the city to study the theory.

On the same day, an off-campus activity teaching local primary and middle school students about the "Two Mountains" theory also kicked off in Yu village in Anji.
