Zaozhuang has been focusing on developing six beautiful countryside demonstration regions,including the charming Jinghe River region in Tengzhou,Panlong River in Xuecheng,the Yanma Reservoir in Shanting,the tourism route in Taierzhuang,the green ring road around new Zaozhuang city,and Pomegranate Park in Yicheng.
