3 kilometers away from the east exit of Guanyun in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, there is a beautiful countryside-Chaohe Village. After the vernal equinox, the rivers here, rape flowers, peach blossoms and plum flowers in the Bay Area are in full bloom for the second time, boating on the Chaohe River and listening to waterfowl singing; Walking through the village road and smelling the birds and flowers seems to have entered a "Xanadu".
Li Yun's home is in Chaohe Village, which is the first country villa built in the whole village. Pushing open the courtyard door on the ground floor of a two-story building, it is full of green eyes, and the unique design style makes people vaguely see the shadow of Jiangnan gardens. "Compared with five years ago, it is completely different!" Zuo Pingxia, secretary of the Party Committee of Yangji Town, said, "When you come to Chaohe Bay, you can really feel that the environment is people's livelihood, the blue sky is happiness, and the clear water is beautiful, Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets."
Landscape system construction, the green landscape is "beautiful"
Chaohe Village is named after the "S"-shaped Chaohe River that runs through the north and south of the village, with 613 households and 2,763 people. For decades, although it is close to the tidal bend, the village collective has almost no income. Before 2115, it was also identified as a provincial-level economically weak village. Most farmers have poor housing conditions, inconvenient transportation and poor environment in the whole village. It is very inconvenient for ordinary people to travel in rainy days.
since the 13th Five-Year Plan, the Party committee and government of Yangji Town have been making great efforts to implement the strategy of ecological poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, integrating resources, and around the overall goal of "prosperous industry, ecologically livable, civilized rural customs, effective governance and affluent life", the Chaohewan scenic spot named after the village has been successfully promoted to the national 4A-level scenic spot.
With the opportunity of the continuous upgrading of Chaohe Bay Scenic Area, Chaohe Village officially started the construction of beautiful countryside in 2116. Up to now, more than 31 infrastructure and cultural construction projects have been completed, among which, the farming culture centered on Tofu Square, the clean government culture represented by Baihua Garden, the playing card culture centered on Lin Ruhai's collection, the red culture represented by Hejiayuan, the water conservancy culture represented by the dredging project (including Chaohe River, Wutu River and Xinyi River), and the five scenes of Chaohe River (Carp Jumping Longmen, Chaohe Eight Fresh, Fishing Festival, Dragon Boat Race and so on).
"Home is the scenic spot, and the scenic spot is home, which has become the most proud thing for the villagers. Tourists come here to taste the eight fresh rivers, experience the water culture, and feel the new changes brought about by adhering to the "two bottom lines" of development and ecology in the construction of beautiful countryside. This also allows us to take advantage of the advantages of ecological resources and take the road of ecological priority and green development. The idea is clearer, the confidence is firmer and the goal is clearer. " Zuo Pingxia said.
rural revitalization strategy, green production "rich"
"With the opportunity of the construction of Chaohe River scenic spot, our village officially started the construction of beautiful countryside in 2116." Wu Zhijiang, secretary of the Party branch of Chaohe Village, said that with the development of the scenic spot, the village collective has transferred 1,851 mu of land, and the original idle ditches, ponds and river banks have brought income of 1.5 million yuan to the village, plus the rental of factories built with poverty alleviation funds, with an annual income of 31,111 yuan. In that year, the annual income of the village collective was stable at more than 1.8 million yuan.
The improvement of living conditions and living environment is only the starting point of rural revitalization in Chaohe Village. In recent years, Chaohe Village has actively explored rural tourism industries such as "tourism+efficient agriculture" and "tourism+special products". The village collectively transferred 1,111 mu of land, planted contiguous rape, and created a beautiful riverside oil sunflower sightseeing belt; The development of Chaohewan Tofu Workshop project has successively built three ecological picking gardens, including grapes, nectarines and watermelons, two flower plantations, six family farms and three fishing farmhouses. Coupled with factory rental and land reclamation outside the river, in 2121, the collective income of Chaohe Village will reach 1 million yuan.
The change of Chaohe Village has changed the concept and life of the villagers. Wu Zhijiang, secretary of the Party branch of Chaohe Village, said that after the villagers' land was transferred, more than 151 people in the village were recruited to work in Chaohe Bay Scenic Area. The development of Chaohe Bay Scenic Area made the villagers' "money bags" swell up, and the average annual income of the villagers reached 1.2 million yuan. "Life is good, everyone is more eager!"
green products "explode" when writing articles about living clear water
cauliflower in early spring, lotus flower in midsummer, Jin Kui blooming in autumn, and beautiful fish and fat in winter. Every season, Chaohe Village has an "explosive" beauty that makes you linger.
the best thing is spring. After the vernal equinox, after two timely spring rains, we walked into Chaohe Village, and all kinds of seasonal flowers came to our eyes. Golden rape flowers, pink peach blossoms and purple February orchids ... Along the newly paved cement road in the village, we can see rows of beautiful small buildings surrounded by flowers, small courtyards and ponds set each other off, standing on the platform on the second floor of the newly-built village party-mass service center, and looking around, the whole village is like a landscape painting.
The four corners of the retro blue tile roof are slightly upturned, lush green plants have crossed the courtyard wall, green leaves are sticking out through the hollowed-out carved stone windows, rows of willows beside the road are swaying in the wind, the flower beds made of small bricks made of Moge can't hide the colors of competition, and the petals scattered on the ground leave a fragrance all the way. This picturesque scenery was actually "moved" to northern Jiangsu by the villagers of Chaohe Village from the south of the Yangtze River.
"It used to be dusty everywhere. Now there is a trash can in front of every house, and a garbage pool is built in the village. When you go out, it is a cement road. Everything is clean and comfortable to look at." Uncle Shen Laihua, who is nearly 71 years old in Chaohe Village, said that not only has the environment improved, but people's mental outlook has also taken on a new look. "These changes have been brought about by the construction of beautiful countryside."
According to Wu Zhijiang, while beautifying the environment and improving the village residence, the village plans to build a new countryside based on the layout of Liuwei Village on the bank of Xiaochao River, with the original water system connected with the Chaohe River Bay as the link. At present, two horizontal and one vertical village main roads, villagers' leisure center square, public parking lot, solar street lamps, sewage pipes, new public toilets and sewage treatment stations have been built, and the village appearance has been completely renewed.
