Energy-saving aerial power station, unpowered entertainment facilities, sewage recycling … … In Xinjian village, people can enjoy the beautiful rural scenery of light clouds, green mountains and flowing water, dancing butterflies and singing birds, and feel the concept of "net zero carbon" implanted here. This year’s "May Day", the number of tourists who come to Xinjian Village to experience the rural customs has reached a new high, and the practice of net zero carbon has laid a foundation for the construction of beautiful countryside and the long-term development of rural tourism.

　　At present, Dinghai District has formulated ten guidelines for Dinghai’s clean zero-carbon villages according to the United Nations "Guidelines for the Planning of Clean Zero-carbon Villages". Six clean zero-carbon demonstration sites, including Ma ‘ao Village and Huangsha Village, have been upgraded in batches, and digital thinking technology runs through all fields of low-carbon rural construction. Use old wood, tiles and stones to transform houses; In the construction of ecological homestay, "facilities give way to trees", and the original masonry is used to reduce the use of concrete; Reasonable selection of building orientation and location of doors and windows, as far as possible to achieve passive heating and ventilation to reduce energy use … … All development projects in the village are based on the advantages of ecological environment and aim at the development of green and low-carbon cycle.
