Aerial photo taken on March 27, 2020 shows the construction site of Beijing-Xiongan intercity railway's Xiongan Station in Xiongan New Area, north China's Hebei Province. As the COVID-19 epidemic eases in China and work and production is resuming gradually, the construction of Xiongan New Area has also gained steam in an orderly manner. On April 1, 2017, China announced plans to establish Xiongan New Area, located about 100 km southwest of Beijing, with the aim of building the area -- spanning Rongcheng, Anxin and Xiongxian counties -- into a national model of high-quality development and a new engine for the modern economic system.
