"Yidaowan" and "One Ship"

West Coast area is an enclave bordering Nanhai District with and Gaoming District Heshan City . Within its 24.8 square kilometers jurisdiction, the greening coverage rate is nearly two-thirds. The South Sea Bay Forest Ecological Park, Thousand Acres of Silver Lake, pastoral scenery and West Coast Forest Farm (Silhouette Mountain) are distributed among them, including the Centennial Taoist Temple Qingyun Cave .

is located in the South Bay in the west coast area. With its unique ecological environment and cultural heritage, it has won the reputation of "Guangdong Xiaojiuzhaigou" and is the first "national tourism industry cluster (experimental) zone" in the country. On this basis, how to give full play to the advantages of Nanhai Bay's cultural tourism is a topic that Xiqiao and even Nanhai have been exploring.

Compared with the Nanhai jurisdiction located on the east bank of the West River, the economic development of in the West Bank area is still relatively lagging behind. The future development of the West Coast requires both green waters and green mountains and gold and silver mountains. Therefore, the South China Sea also has to face another important issue: focus on solving the problem of imbalance and inadequate development in the region, and allow the West Coast area to accelerate its path to common prosperity.

The Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have given the important task of exploring the path of high-quality integrated urban and rural development in the province. As the only experimental zone for urban-rural integration development, reform and innovation in the province, Nanhai proposed to focus on building "Seven Lakes, Three Bays, One Stop and One Park" and accelerate the creation of the best model for urban-rural integration in Greater Bay Area .

Among the "Three Bays", Nanhai Bay is the only comprehensive urban platform focusing on the cultural and tourism industry, and shoulders the important task of exploring common prosperity for Nanhai District. Nanhai hopes to lead the sinking of resources through the platform, use the South Bay to enrich the connotation of cultural and tourism development, and promote regional coordinated development in the process of development, and empower the construction of a new South China Sea.

In June this year, Nanhai proposed to build a cultural and tourism development pattern of "three belts and three zones", including the "three zones" of the Sangyuanwei cultural belt, the "three zones" of the Provincial Buddha thoroughfare cultural belt, and the "three zones" of Qiandeng Lake Central Vitality Zone, the Dataoyuan Industrial City Vitality Zone, and the "three zones" of Huanqiao Mountain and Water Town Vitality Zone. Nanhai Bay and Sangyuanwei Cultural Belt are across the Xijiang River, echoing the vibrant area of ​​Huanqiao Mountain and Water Town, which makes Nanhai Bay deeply embedded in the cultural and tourism map of the western South China Sea and even the entire region, bringing a richer cultural and tourism experience and vitality.

promotes common prosperity by strengthening the cultural and tourism industry, which has been proven effective in pioneering areas. Located in Changtan Village, Zhangcun Town, southwest of Anji County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, adjacent to Longwangshan Nature Reserve . Villagers used to make a living by selling bamboo and farming. In 2008, the Longwangshan Canyon Rafting project was developed. Villagers set up farmhouses and homestays, and the infrastructure in the village was gradually improved.In 2021, the tourism consumption income of Changtan Village reached 150 million yuan.

Find the cultural and tourism industry as a breakthrough point, use the government's power to leverage market forces to participate together, and drive the improvement and improvement of people's livelihood supporting facilities such as transportation, education, medical care, and commercial and residential areas in the surrounding areas, so that villagers can fully share the dividends of development. This is also the original intention and profound meaning of the South China Sea to include the South China Bay in a district-level key platform and promote the quality improvement and development of the area.

The West River flows to the west bank, forming a wide river bay. The South Bay reflects the original South China Sea, the original Bay Area, and the original Lingnan. Now, it is the "Yi Dao Bay" that activates the new imagination space of Lingnan's cultural tourism, carrying the "a ship" that moves towards common prosperity on the West Bank.

new plan and new space

major platform are used as a driving force, and the major plan is supported. Nanhai District and Xiqiao Town have always adhered to planning guidance, and have introduced well-known planning experts, professors of the School of Architecture of South China University of Technology, and their teams and Shenzhen Urban Planning and Design Institute to jointly compile the "Nanhai Bay Development Strategic Plan" to promote the implementation of key platforms at district level with a high starting point and high standards.

In Yuan Qifeng's view, South Bay has three major resource advantages. First, the local ecological resources are rich and the background is good; second, a number of cultural and tourism projects have been developed in the Nanhai Bay area, which are well-known as the "National Tourism Industry Cluster (Experimental) Zone"; third, the Nanhai Bay is only separated from the main urban area of ​​Gaoming by water, and the mountain and water resources can provide leisure products for residents of surrounding cities and have strong market vitality.

From the outside, with the landing of Pearl River Delta hub airport , many tracks and highways connected to the central area of ​​Guangzhou and Foshan will accelerate construction. Among them, the Zhaoshun South Intercity Intercity will bring the South Bay into the "Golden Inner Bay" vision; the South Bay is located between the two cities of Foshan and Jiangmen and the three districts of Nanhai, Gaoming and Heshan , and can also play a link role in building regional tourism products.

From its own perspective, Nanhai Bay enjoys district-level strategic resources such as district-level key platforms and land art festivals; as suburban tourism heats up, Nanhai Bay will be able to meet the diverse needs of different customer groups with its own rich leisure resources; and in recent years, many cultural and tourism companies have been intending to land in Nanhai Bay, which also shows that the market has a high recognition of local resources.

Based on its own resource endowment and development opportunities, Yuan Qifeng's team believes that Nanhai Bay should be based on the perspective of the Bay Area, comprehensively consider the historical missions at the Guangzhou-Foshan, Nanhai and Xiqiao levels, and focus on four strategic positions, including building the West Coast Leisure Highland of the Greater Bay Area, the Xijiang Economic Belt Cooperation Experimental Zone, the Pan-Airport Economic Zone Cultural and Tourism Town and the Xiqiao Town Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone.

Based on the above positioning, the "South Hai Bay Development Strategic Plan" will propose to build a spatial development framework of "one belt, one heart, cross-riveted", create a suburban leisure belt around the Tea Mountain, an ecological green heart on the Xijiang Riverside, a cross-shaped development axis of Qingyun Avenue and a Gaoming Riverside River Belt, increase the integration and improvement of cultural and tourism resources, and achieve sustainable development of space.

After the release of the "South Bay Development Strategic Plan", Xiqiao Town will start the construction of the South Bay with two major projects in the near future. Among them, the three major cultural and tourism projects, Xiaoyao Valley, Four Seasons Cultural and Tourism Agricultural Ecological Park, and "Camping Base + Yinhu", will build hot spots for drainage. At the same time, we will promote the construction of five major livelihood facilities, increase tourism service capabilities, and boost the hearts of the people in the West Bank. On the 112th day of the event, six cultural and tourism projects will officially sign contracts with Xiqiao Town to settle in Nanhai Bay, including: Yang·Nanhai Bay Project, Four Seasons Cultural and Tourism Project, Nanhai Bay Water Leisure Park, Mountain Biking Competition, West Bank Xiti Silk Village (Shanlangchang) and Yinxi Shangzhu B&B Project. The action to benefit the people in cultural tourism consumption was launched simultaneously, sending out "three coupons" for benefiting the people in cultural tourism, injecting strong momentum into the start of the South China Sea Bay.

Pairing assistance and collaborative governance

The majority of villagers in the West Coast community are full of expectations for the release of the "South Bay Development Strategy Plan" and the launch of the construction of the "Vibrant New West Coast". Liang Zhubin, Secretary of the Party Committee of West Bank Community, said that party committees and governments at all levels have always provided full support for the development of the West Bank, and in the past year, policies and resources have been further strengthened, which has made everyone full of confidence in the revitalization and development of the West Bank.

promotes the revitalization and development of the West Coast area, and the South China Sea attaches great importance to it. Since the end of last year, Gu Yaohui, Secretary of the Nanhai District Party Committee, visited the West Bank community many times, face-to-face with villagers and village cadres, talked about grassroots social governance, and gave a "good recipe": we must strengthen the leadership of party building, accelerate the improvement of planning, implement pairing assistance, promote the comprehensive land improvement of the entire region, and vigorously develop "tourism +", take multiple measures and use multiple policies to accelerate the revitalization and development of the West Bank community.

In March and April this year, the "Foshan Nanhai District Work Plan for Pilot Implementing Precision Assistance and Promoting Common Richness in the District" and the "Three-Year Action Plan for Assistance and Promoting the Revitalization and Development of Xiqiao Town West Coast Community" were successively issued, and the West Coast Community was established as the pilot implementation of assistance work within the District. In late May, a special team from Nanhai District to assist the revitalization and development of West Coast communities was settled in and carried out work.

In the past six months, the working team has gone deep into the front line and carried out a large number of meticulous visits and research work. It has held 12 open-ended research meetings and visited 26 economic and social groups in the West Bank community on site to find out the basic situation in the local area. During this period, Tang Dibang, Chairman of the Nanhai District CPPCC, also led the leadership team of the Nanhai District CPPCC to conduct in-depth investigations on rural revitalization on the West Bank and provide suggestions for the revitalization and development of the West Bank community.
