"Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." At the Jinci Temple in Taiyuan city, Shanxi province, this Chinese vision of ecological protection and development is brought vividly to life. From the 2,000-year-old Never Aging Spring to the almost 3,000-year-old Zhou Cypress, these "living heritage" are being gently protected with the help of technology.

Muhammad Waseem Rasheed, a Pakistani doctoral student at the Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently visited Jinci Temple, who saw a digital-twin platform monitoring Jinci spring levels in real time and radar technology conducting non-invasive health checks on the ancient tree.

He also experienced the beauty of harmony between humanity and nature, and noted that China's experience in renewable energy, ecological restoration, and environmental technologies offers valuable reference for other countries.
