China News Service Lishui, March 12 (Zhao Yejiao, Wang Yifei) "In recent years, Lishui has continued to deepen the 'Thousand Villages Demonstration and Ten Thousand Villages Remediation' project, carefully created the 'garden and rural pioneer', and made every effort to build the most beautiful core area of the Zhejiang Grand Garden in poetry and painting, and strive to write the 'Lishui answer sheet' for the construction of beautiful villages' "what to see Zhejiang and Zhejiang nationwide." said Hu Haifeng, Secretary of the Lishui Municipal Party Committee of Zhejiang Province.
In the context of rural revitalization becoming the focus of China's "three rural" work, the government work report proposes that the "14th Five-Year Plan" should "promote green development and promote harmonious coexistence between man and nature", how can ecological cities and mountainous cities give full play to their comparative advantages to achieve rural revitalization and even drive overall development? Hu Haifeng recently introduced Lishui's exploration experience in building beautiful villages with three "focusing" on Lishui.
is located in Lishui, southwest Zhejiang. It is the largest prefecture-level city with a land area in the province, with a forest coverage rate of 81.7%. The city is also known as " China's No. 1 Ecological City " and "Ecological Green Heart of the Yangtze River Delta Region".
The rich "ecological foundation" is Lishui's special resource endowment. In order to prevent the green waters and green mountains from fading, the local economic development once lagged behind in the wave of industrialization. In recent years, guided by the concept of "green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains", it has opened a road of high-quality green development on the basis of coordinating the relationship between "ecology is the greatest advantage and development is the most important task".
Lishui is a city with a rural population accounting for more than 2/3 of the total population. Against this background, the construction of local beautiful rural areas has also become a representative incision to see through this development path.
During this year's Spring Festival holiday, Lishui, an important destination for rural tourism in Zhejiang, received 774,000 tourists, achieving a total tourism revenue of 497 million yuan, an increase of 799.5% and 303.6% over the same caliber.
Why can rural popularity explode? The unremitting pursuit of "beauty" is the key.
"As of the end of last year, Lishui has created a total of 4 provincial-level beautiful rural demonstration counties, 55 provincial-level beautiful rural demonstration towns, and 200 garden villages." When talking about beautiful rural areas, Hu Haifeng first introduced a set of numbers.
The construction of beautiful villages in the era of green development has always been a matter of people's livelihood that it attaches great importance to. Last year, at the beginning of the resumption of work, production and tourism in China, Hu Haifeng appeared in front of the camera and used the promotional film "Hu Haifeng Invites You to Visit Lishui" to be a "salesman" for Lishui rural tourism with different scenery in all seasons. This time, facing the reporter, he summarized the experience and practices of the green transformation and development of local beautiful countrysides behind the numbers and screens with three "focuses".
The first is to focus on the creation of a garden, allowing poetry and painting pastoral gardens to carry and continue the memories of nostalgia. In 2019, in order to explore the path of rural revitalization with local characteristics, Lishui planned to start the creation of garden and villages, and proposed to create 600 garden and villages by 2022.
"Garden Countryside" is defined by Lishui as the "Lishui version" of beautiful countryside in the new era. Hu Haifeng introduced, "We highlight the characteristic pursuit of the 'three gardens and six states', that is, to build the countryside into livable leisure gardens, ecological civilization gardens, and health and wellness gardens that the people yearn for. They have ecologically priority rural environmental qualities, natural original spatial texture forms, intensively developed beautiful economic business forms, rural civilized expressions of red and green prosperity, comprehensive governance trends of co-construction and sharing, and a poetic and prosperous happy life state."
In addition, the local area has also carried out the creation of garden digital villages in the new era, and took the lead in releasing the "Guidelines for Future Rural Construction". Continue to promote the protection and utilization of traditional villages, 257 villages in the city have been recognized as national-level traditional villages, making them the area with the largest number of ancient villages and the most complete style in East China.
The second is to focus on reform and innovation, so that green mountains and clear waters can inject and ignite the momentum of revitalization. Hu Haifeng said, "Lishui regards reform and innovation as a key move for rural revitalization, and comprehensively stimulates the endogenous driving force for the development of beautiful rural areas."
In terms of reform, the city launched the application for the pilot zone for rural revitalization reform inclusive financial services, and innovatively launched green financial products such as "GEP loan" and "ecological loan", which effectively cracked the bottleneck of financing for rural revitalization.
In terms of brand innovation, the local area has launched "Shanzi" brands such as "Lishui Shangeng" high-quality agricultural products and "Lishui Shanju" pastoral homestays, in order to transform ecological advantages into economic advantages and development advantages. Last year, the total marketing volume of "Lishui Mountain Grove" and "Lishui Mountain Residence" reached 10.8 billion yuan and 2.27 billion yuan respectively.
The third is to focus on improving people's livelihood and make a better life meet and adapt to the needs of the people. In recent years, Lishui has coordinated the promotion of "big moves and fast gatherings" and "two in and two return trips", helping people in high mountains and deep mountains to move out of the mountains and integrate into towns. In order to comprehensively promote the construction of rural civilization, a total of 3,647 four-level civilized practice positions and 1,188 rural cultural auditoriums have been built. In terms of building a pilot zone for modern rural governance, 7 national rural governance demonstration villages have been created.
"The construction of beautiful villages must be 'visible' and 'touched' for the people, and have real personal feelings and real gains." Hu Haifeng said.
The above three "focusing" have made the beautiful countryside in Lishui a window for a high-level and comprehensive well-off society.
From a typical remote mountain village to a pilot project of ecological product value realization mechanism, villagers have started homestays, opened bookstores, engaged in tourism, and worked in e-commerce. Various business formats in the village have emerged and flourished like mushrooms after a rain... In the Lishui special session of Zhejiang's "Building a moderately prosperous society at a high level" theme press conference in Hangzhou in November last year, Hu Haifeng used the story of Chenjiapu Village, which has a history of more than 600 years, to show the great changes in Lishui from the perspective of the countryside.
Rural revitalization, including the construction of beautiful villages, is a historic project that requires a blueprint to the end. The reporter learned that Lishui has made promoting the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas an important task in the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
In the first year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the city has clearly established that it will build a modern agricultural industrial cluster with regional characteristics, carry out the top ten rural activation actions, and implement village-level collective economy consolidation and improvement actions. These are also the specific endpoints for the three "focusing" in the future in the local area.
"Create the most beautiful ecology with all the mountains, all the forests, fish swim in the shallow bottom, and stars shining" "Let the countryside integrate into the mountains, rivers and pastorals, and promote the beautiful urban and rural areas and beautiful ecology 'each beauty and beauty sharing'" - This is the development prospect that Hu Haifeng had previously described at a meeting in Lishui. When this poetic beauty is combined with diligent exploration, Lishui has also become a vivid sample of inspiration in the process of green China. (End)
