China pilots "quiet communities" to curb urban noise, disputes_我的网站

A |     很多家长可能都知道，新加坡是非常适合低龄留学的国家，但是很多人不清楚为什么。    

    An aerial drone photo taken in October 2025 shows a view of the Dongshan pocket park in Guangzhou, south China's Guangdong Province. (Xinhua)When 72-year-old Shi Jikun opened his windows at home in Yuxi, southwest China's Yunnan Province, he used to hear the repeated thud of balls and blowing of whistles from an indoor sports venue near his residential community.
"During the day, I didn't dare open the windows," Shi said, recalling years when the noise disrupted his daily routine.
The sports venue has since undergone two rounds of soundproofing. Sound-absorbing materials were installed on its walls, while double-glazed soundproof windows were fitted along the side facing the residential area.
The noise has eased. "The neighborhood is quiet now, making everyday life much more comfortable," Shi noted.
Shi's experience is part of a broader move underway across China to tackle one of the less obvious costs of urbanization: the growing amount of noise packed into increasingly dense neighborhoods.
As cities expand, the likes of homes, roads, businesses, construction sites and recreational spaces are often crammed together. China has, notably, been testing a neighborhood-level response to this challenge via the development of "quiet communities," combining physical upgrades with local management and mediation.
This initiative was launched as a national pilot project in May 2023. By the end of 2025, a total of 3,272 quiet communities had been built nationwide, benefiting more than 2.4 million households, according to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
This approach now also has a stronger legal footing. On Saturday, China's Ecological and Environmental Code came into force, with a dedicated section on noise pollution prevention and control.
The scale of the problem is reflected in noise complaints. In 2025, cities at the prefecture level and above received about 6.83 million noise-related complaints, with social-life noise accounting for 73.2 percent.
Noise from neighbors, equipment malfunctions and disturbances from square dancing, a popular group exercise in China often held by middle-aged and older residents in public spaces, were among the most common issues raised.
China's quiet-community program is designed to address such problems before they become recurring disputes. "Quiet communities do not mean that there should be no sound," said Lu Lu, deputy head of the noise management division at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.
The goal, Lu said, is to create a comfortable and harmonious living environment while balancing everyday activity with residents' need for quiet.
The solutions vary from place to place. In south China's Shenzhen, some newly built residential communities are incorporating noise control at the planning and design stage. Measures include low-noise pavements, vegetation buffers, separated pedestrian and vehicle routes, and automatic noise-monitoring equipment.
Older communities are using renovation projects to address noise concerns. In Xiaoshan District in east China's Hangzhou, Huiyu garden community replaced aging elevators and repaired drainage grates and other public facilities as part of its quiet-community program.
But physical upgrades alone cannot settle conflicts between neighbors.
At Fenglin Shunhe community in Weihai, eastern China's Shandong Province, residents, property managers, community officials and square-dancing groups agreed to end dancing at 8:30 p.m. The main lights in the square switch off at that time, signaling that it is time for the dancers to leave.
The key is to respond quickly to complaints and give residents and activity groups a way to negotiate solutions, said Jiang Chunyan, head of the neighborhood committee.
In another community in Shenzhen, property managers have gone further by treating renovation noise as a process to be managed proactively rather than a problem to be addressed after complaints arise.
Renovation work is divided into nine stages and mapped on a visual noise-management chart. Property managers use the chart to carry out targeted inspections as work progresses. Contractors are also required to work only during designated hours and under fully enclosed conditions.
The program still faces gaps in terms of regional coverage and long-term maintenance. Quiet communities remain concentrated in a few cities, while older neighborhoods and parts of central and western China have fewer projects. Some communities also face difficulties maintaining noise-control measures after initial upgrades are completed.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment plans to incorporate quiet-community development into China's noise pollution prevention and control work for the 2026-2030 period. It has called for regular inspections, dynamic monitoring and follow-up visits to ensure that measures remain effective.
Zheng Shanshan, an official responsible for ecological affairs in Hangzhou's Xiangfu Subdistrict, said the next step should extend noise management from individual communities to larger areas through tools such as sound-environment maps.
"Quiet communities are only a starting point," Zheng said. "We hope to create more quiet spaces across the city."

B | 对于把孩子幼儿园送去更好，还是小学送去更好有一定的误区，以为幼儿园留学新加坡，小学入学不用参加考试。今天要告诉大家，根本不是这样的！为什么说是误区呢？ 主要是因为孩子即使在新加坡上幼儿园，但本身还是国际生，那报考流程依然是国际生的路线，不会因为孩子在新加坡上幼儿园而有所改变。

C | 国际生报考小学的路线如下：第一种 免试申请 走这条途径的孩子必须在1月2号入学当日，未满7周岁。但由于免试申请的名额有限，并且是公民优先，永久居民其次，最后才是国际生，所以走这条途径，入学的的难度较大。第二种 报考CEQ/AEIS数学 这条途径是大部分孩子的选择，包括免试申请的孩子也都会同时为考试做准备。

D | CEQ：每月都可以考，成绩一年有效AEIS数学：一年两次考试的机会，分别是9月和次年的2月那为什么更多人还是选择幼儿园去呢？ 即使幼儿园就留学新加坡，小学也是需要考试的，但还是有很多家长早早就把孩子送去留学，主要是出于以下几方面的考虑：可以更快的提升英文水平，让孩子在以后的学习中，做到无障碍沟通。更快的适应环境，让孩子的学习事半功倍。尽早的培养孩子的国际化思维，可以提升孩子的眼界、创造力、以及领导力。小学留学新加坡的优势又是什么呢？ 首先小一难度最小，通过率非常高。

E | 其二就是新加坡小四分流制度，孩子通过两三年的学习，在小四阶段可以选择自己擅长的科目，并在小六会考获得更好的成绩。第三通过小六会考可以自主择校，这也是国际生留学新加坡的第一次择校机会。第四点优势也是政府学校独有的优势，那就是申请绿卡。条件就是通过一次国考（小六会考、O水准、A水准），或者成为IP直通车计划的学生。那就可以申请绿卡，拿到绿卡后，孩子后期的学费都可以减免三分之二。幼儿园去好还是小学去好 小学的各种优势也是家长们为孩子选择小学留学新加坡最主要的原因，而幼儿园的英文基础对于孩子通过考试的帮助却非常大。比如CEQ考的就是听说读写，孩子早早的接触了纯英的教学环境，对于英文的快速提升有很大的帮助，那后期通过备考，再通过考试也就更加容易。在加上孩子已早早的适应了新加坡的学习环境，那入学后的学习生活也将会更加的顺利~!家长们注意啦！ 文中部分图片及内容来源于网络。
