HANGZHOU -- Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Monday inspected the county of Anji in East China's Zhejiang Province.

While visiting Yucun Village, Xi talked with villagers and learned about the huge changes brought about by advancing green development.

In 2005, it was in this mountainous village Xi, then Party chief of Zhejiang, put forward the concept that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."

The village has adhered to that concept for the past 15 years. Today, the village has 280 households and its residents earned a per capita income of 49,598 yuan ($7,040) in 2019.

Leaving the village, Xi went to Anji's mediation center to learn about how primary-level social disputes are resolved.

Xi started his inspection tour in Zhejiang Sunday.
