24. The Zhuque Plan

Zhuque is a legendary Chinese bird which symbolizes talent. The Zhuque Plan is a talent recruitment program for sci-tech project managers. It aims to attract and develop high-caliber project managers who understand scientists' needs, possess engineering skills and are able to mobilize  resources for innovation. They will work at important research institutes including national laboratories and new-type R&D institutions, as well as in key development areas such as the "three  science cities and one hi-tech area"[1].

[1] These are Zhongguancun Science City, Huairou Science City, Beijing Future  Science Park and Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, which serve as major platforms for building Beijing into a national innovation center.

25. Turn-key projects of "three schools and one hospital"

These projects including a kindergarten, a primary school, a secondary school and a general hospital are financed and built by Beijing. Upon completion, they will be transferred to the jurisdiction of Xiong'an New Area, which will then invite first-class education and medical groups  from Beijing to operate them: Beijing Beihai Kindergarten, Shijia Hutong  Primary School, Beijing No. 4 High School and Xuanwu Hospital.

26. One clinic per village

This  initiative aims to deliver better health service in the rural areas of Beijing with improved allocation of medical resources. In 2021, clinics were built in 650 villages which previously had no medical facilities, thus ensuring a clinic in every administrative village.

27. Roaming Beijing

Over the last two years, Beijing has rolled out dozens of tourist routes, both vehicular and pedestrian.
