Datong rewarded as National Garden City
By Zhou Yuanyuan ( chinadaily.com.cn )

When China's Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development published its National Garden City, County and Town List for 2013, recently, it had 37 cities with the national “Garden City” title, and Datong and Shuozhou, in Shanxi province, were on it.
The list had 37 garden counties and 14 garden towns, including the Shanxi counties of Licheng, Changzi, Lingshi, and Guxian, and the Shanxi town of Jiajiazhuang.
The term "garden city" refers to those with perfect urban arrangement, a beautiful landscape, comfortable, safe habitation, and a good environment.
Shanxi now has 10 of these national garden cities, the others being Taiyuan, Houma, Lucheng, Jincheng, Changzhi, Yangquan, Xiaoyi, and Jiexiu.
