The earth is warming and all things are reviving. At the construction sites of major projects in Longjing City, pile drivers rise and fall, crane arms stretch out, vehicles shuttle back and forth, and machines roar... A boom of project construction is sweeping across the entire city. One project after another is springing up like bamboo shoots after rain, breaking ground and growing upward, accumulating momentum for high-quality development.

　　Recently, at the Wood Products Deep Processing Industrial Park in Longjing City, workers are busy with construction. "The project plans a total investment of 347 million yuan, covers an area of 73,516.25 square meters, with a building area of 81,412.21 square meters. It mainly involves the construction of 8 individual buildings, including 2 processing workshops, 2 warehouses, 1 R&D center, 2 supporting buildings, and 1 equipment building, as well as 20 wooden knife, fork and spoon production lines." Qin Yalin, head of Yanbian Prefecture Longjing City Mingxinglin Wood Industry Co., Ltd., told reporters that the project started construction in March 2023. At present, the three-story R&D center has been basically completed, and the pile foundations for the warehouses and processing workshops are under construction. Civil construction above ground is expected to begin in 20 days. The project is expected to be completed by the end of September and put into production by the end of the year. After reaching full production capacity, it will produce 3 billion wooden knives, forks and spoons annually, achieving an annual output value of 150 million yuan and paying taxes of 12.5 million yuan.

　　Since the beginning of this year, guided by the promotion of high-quality economic development, Longjing City has firmly established the development philosophy of "projects as the king" and "innovation first." Based on Longjing's industrial layout of "three main, two auxiliary, and multi-point support," it has coordinated the development of three leading industries—pharmaceutical and health, food processing, and textile and garment—and accelerated economic development and operation by upgrading leading enterprises and revitalizing suspended enterprises.

　　As one of the key food processing projects, the Longjing City Korean Ethnic Folk Food Industrial Park project is progressing smoothly. The first phase, with an investment of about 65 million yuan, was put into use in March 2020. The second phase, with an investment scale of about 130 million yuan, has basically completed construction. Currently, ground leveling and subsequent interior decoration are underway.

　　"We are currently expanding the second phase, which includes a product warehousing and processing center, an R&D and production center, a quality life experience hall, and a logistics distribution center. We mainly deal in agricultural products, condiments, food, and so on. After reaching full production, the company's annual output value will be about 200 million yuan, with profits and taxes of about 15 million yuan," said Jin Yulin, head of the e-commerce department of Yanbian Sankou Folk Food Co., Ltd., the project operator.

　　This year, Longjing City plans to implement 45 key projects with an investment of over 50 million yuan, with a total investment of 19.721 billion yuan and an annual planned investment of 4.959 billion yuan.
