Editor's note:
Every year ahead of the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar New Year, President Xi Jinping carries out a tour to inspect the work done at the grassroots and extend festival greetings.
During these visits, Xi pays attention to a wide variety of problems, such as education and development, poverty relief at rural areas and development plans at urban areas.
Here, let's have a look at Xi's previous visits and his statements.

President Xi visited Zhangjiakou, Hebei province, Beijing's co-host city for the 2022 Games, to listen to a briefing on preparatory work and inspect proposed venue areas around Chongli county on Jan 23.
"There should be clear positioning of this region for future development. Rather than developing into a large-scale comprehensive metropolitan area, Chongli should be built into a ski destination with a strong local character," Xi said.
