The planning adheres to the concept of low-carbon, ecological, modern and integration of production and city, and is divided into two functional areas with Mengzi Lake as the boundary. The northern area is mainly located on the north bank of Mengzi Lake, focusing on introducing regional company headquarters to build a headquarters economic zone; Relying on the commercial water street to create a 24-hour vitality new industrial district; Relying on the central park and green corridors, shaping the characteristic urban space; Relying on vocational education parks and smart parks to build industrial R&D bases; Relying on the advantages of high-speed rail connection and high-speed export traffic, we will build a major commercial logistics storage base in southwestern Shandong and provide industrial support for the new district. The southern district gives full play to the natural advantages of mountains and rivers, integrates the southern Yishan scenic spot, and plans to build a modern cultural theme park on the south bank of Mencius Lake to create a Confucian cultural experience area with the theme of "study tour, health preservation and leisure" and become a new place for citizens to walk, ride and have fun. Using the existing wetland resources on the east bank of Mengzi Lake, an ecological wetland park integrating outdoor leisure, ecological maintenance and popular science education will be built to improve the ecological environment quality of the new district.
