清代乾隆皇帝六下江南五次驻驿宿迁，赞叹宿迁为“第一江山春好处”。西楚霸王项羽出生地项王故里，建筑古朴，宏伟庄重。乾隆行宫重檐斗拱，是京杭大运河沿线保存最为完好的皇家建筑群。洪泽湖、骆马湖以及古黄河风光带、大运河风光带风景宜人。建市以来，我们把“生态宿迁、绿色家园，诚信宿迁、投资乐园”作为城市品牌进行打造，把具有400平方公里的清清骆马湖变成城边湖，把省级嶂山森林公园变成城中园，把穿越主城区的京杭大运河、古黄河打造成为绿化带、景观带和生态廊道。2004年，宿迁通过了省级园林城市的考核验收。目前，全市森林覆盖率达26.8%，中心城市绿化覆盖率更是达到39.8％，被誉为“华东的一片净土，江苏的一座氧吧”。现在，我们正在加快建设集湖光山色、运河景观、黄河新姿、人文景色于一体，森林式、环保型、园林化、可持续发展的湖滨特色生态城市。

清代乾隆皇帝は六回江南に行かれて五回ほど宿遷にお泊りになり、宿遷を「第一江山春の良い所」と賞賛されました。西楚覇王項羽の生まれどころ項王故里は建築が古くて素朴です。また広くて偉いし厳粛で穏やかです。乾隆行宮は重ね屋根でアーチの形です。京杭大運河沿線の保存された最完備の皇室の建築群です。洪澤湖、駱馬湖及び古黄河風光帯と大運河風光帯の風景は宜しいです。都市設立して以来我々は「エコロジー宿遷、緑色故郷、誠実信用宿遷、投資楽園」を町のブランドとして作りました。４００平方キロメートルの清清駱馬湖を町の傍の湖に変えました。省級嶂山森林公园を町の中の公園に変えました。町を通っている京杭大運河、古黄河を緑化帯、景観帯と生態廊下に作りました。２００４年に宿遷は省級園林都市の審議と登録を通過しました。目前に全市の森林占有率は２６．８％に達しています。中心都市の緑化占有率は更に３９．８％に達しています。「華東の一つの浄土、江蘇の一つの酸素のバー」と誉められています。現在、我々は湖光山色、運河景観、黄河新姿と人文景色を一体にした森林型、環境保護型、園林化と持続発展可能な湖濱特色エコロジー都市の建設を加速しています。
