(260330) -- XIONG'AN, March 30, 2026 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on March 25, 2026 shows a scene at the construction site of the headquarters of China Mineral Resources Group Ltd. in Xiong'an New Area, north China's Hebei Province.

About an hour's drive from Beijing, a futuristic city is rising on the North China Plain -- the Xiong'an New Area.

The area aims to relieve Beijing of non-essential functions related to its status as the nation's capital while also advancing the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Official data reveals a more detailed picture in Xiong'an: the developed area spans around 215 square kilometers with more than 5,300 buildings shaping the urban skyline, housing 1.41 million residents and 669 high-tech enterprises. (Xinhua/Mu Yu)
