The editors say the book is an attempt to answer questions such as, where is the beauty of China? What makes China so beautiful? How we can add to its beauty?

"Chinese continue to cherish their ancient wisdom and follow the philosophical norm of harmonious coexistence of man and nature along with social progress," the editors state in the book.

The country has shaped a general strategy for sustainable development. The focus will be directed on the adjustment of industrial infrastructure and the development of a "circular" economy, the book summarizes the top-level strategy.

"The improvement of China's legal system will also help reduce damage to the nation's ecology," the editors add.

Senior Party official Cai Mingzhao is hopeful for China's future.

"During China's urbanization process, towns and villages, rich with history, together with a myriad local customs and traditions and enhanced modern infrastructure, will thrive alongside their preserved and protected natural beauty and cherish the people's eternal love for their homeland," Cai says in the book's foreword.
