It is understood that the reason why the Ding'an Tanlanxi Dragon Boat Open was selected in Tanlanxi is that the advantages of Tanlanxi River are of high quality, beautiful scenery, gentle water flow and wide water. The Tanlan River, with its clear river, green banks, clear water and beautiful scenery, is a vivid epitome of Ding'an's in-depth promotion of "six water co-governance" and the construction of water system connectivity.
In 2022, Ding'an was listed as a pilot county for the construction of national water system connectivity and water beauty villages, and the water ecological environment governance was fully launched, and the project selected a total of 4 rivers of Tanlan River, Baisha River, Longzhou River and Bunan River for comprehensive improvement, with a total river length of 27.8 kilometers, involving 13 administrative villages in 3 towns of Dingcheng Town, Leiming Town and Hsinchu Town.

After two years of construction, nine landscape nodes, including Gudi Xinyu in Meiao Village, Bunan River, Dingcheng Town, Longyin Zexing in Tanli Village, and Santan Yingyue in Santan Village, Hsinchu Town, have been completed and put into use.
Today's Tanlan Creek is like a link connecting the old county town of Ding'an and the new city of Taling, with a bay of clear water passing through the city. The banks of the clean river are lined with greenery, and the smooth riverside path winds along the terrain; The water-friendly pavilions, promenades, and bridge landscapes set off each other, becoming a check-in place for citizens to enjoy leisure and entertainment and carry out cultural and sports activities.
"Today in Tanlanxi, I not only saw the traditional dragon boat race, but also personally felt the real changes that have taken place in Ding'an in recent years." Wang Sheng, a citizen, said with emotion that in recent years, Tanlan Creek has changed a lot, the river has been cleaned, there are more landscapes on both banks, and there are more residents and tourists who come to take a walk and rest, and the happiness and sense of gain of the citizens have been significantly improved. It is hoped that the water ecological governance is only a node of the change in Ding'an, and it is hoped that the change in Ding'an will become bigger and better.
