The 21st Chairmen Meeting of the 13th Suzhou Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference was held on May 23 to review Suzhou's construction of public fitness facilities.

At the meeting, Gao Xuekun, president of the Suzhou committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, highly praised Taicang for its efforts on boosting economic growth and improving public fitness facilities.

In recent years, Taicang has been focusing on improving the people's living environment and constructing public sports facilities that feature ecology, sightseeing and leisure.

The city has built a comprehensive range of fitness facilities and aims at a balanced development of public sports resources in urban and rural areas. To date, Taicang has set up a 10-minute service circle for fitness facilities. Now residents only need to walk 10 minutes to reach the fitness facilities.

Before the meeting, the attendees visited the fitness trails around New Liuhe Lake and the cultural and sports center in Chengxiang town to inspect Taicang's fitness facilities.
