Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday inspected a major forest farm in Chengde 
City of north China's Hebei Province, hearing reports on ecological 
conservation and forestry management, and checking the growth of forest woods.

At the Saihanba Mechanical Forest Farm, Xi observed the natural landscape, 
listened to the introduction about Hebei's overall plan to protect mountains, 
rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes, grassland and sand system, and to manage the 
forest farm. He also visited local rangers during the inspection.

Later, Xi went to the Shanghai Memorial Forest, the farm's first man-made 
forest, to see the growth of trees, learn about how the forest farm has managed 
to promote the Saihanba Spirit and high-quality development.

Established in 1962, the Saihanba Forest Farm is the world's largest man-made 
forest, a 750-square kilometer barrier situated 300 kilometers north of 
Beijing, saving the Chinese capital from desertification.

The Saihanba Spirit is defined as a combination of dedication and 
entrepreneurship, a scientific and realistic approach, and green development.
