The campaign included a media tour of the Goldwind Zero-carbon Smart Park, Nanhaizi Milu Park and an autonomous driving demonstration zone, all of which reflect the area's leading achievements in green farming, wildlife conservation and autonomous vehicle technology.

The Goldwind Zero-carbon Smart Park, China's first renewable carbon-neutral industrial park, has a 3,456 square-meter greenhouse that yields tomatoes, bananas, eggplants and passion fruit. Nanhaizi Milu Park, China's first nature reserve for milu deer, has been committed to the conservation and habitat research of this first-class nationally protected species for more than three decades. 

The Nanhaizi Milu Park in Yizhuang, Beijing, offers people the opportunity to feed fawns.

Founded in 2020, Yizhuang's high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone ranked first in China for competitiveness of urban intelligent connected vehicles. As of March 2023, it hosts 19 relevant enterprises and a total of 578 connected vehicles autonomously driving a remarkable total distance of 14.49 million kilometers.  

While the tour aims to introduce some of Yizhuang's best-known projects, applicants are encouraged to create videos of no more than five minutes based on broader themes. Winners will be selected in four categories: innovation and entrepreneurship, smart manufacturing, culture and customs, and life in Yizhuang. Filming must be based in Yizhuang.  

The contest will accept submissions until May 6, 2024. Video content creators can submit their work to BDAycwl@163.com.
