A working conference was held in Baotou, North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region, on Sept 6. It focused on Baotou’s transformation into a “healthy city”, reports Baotou Daily.

Baotou first put forward the concept of “Healthy Baotou” in 2008, and Nov 20 is now recognized as Healthy Baotou Day.

In 2016, Baotou was designated as one of 38 pilot “healthy cities” in China. It was the only city in Inner Mongolia to be included on the list.

The city has been promoting the development of its health industry by strengthening environmental protection, improving healthcare, and increasing awareness of the importance of health and fitness.
