Hao Tang's wind, Hao Tang's rain, Hao Tang's mountain, Hao Tang's water, Hao Tang's people are waiting for you... This is the first batch of "the most beautiful villages" in China, Hao Tang Village, Pingqiao District, Xinyang City, Henan Province slogan. As soon as he walked into this village, the "most beautiful village" came into the air.
In June, a heavy rain that reunited for a long time eased the drought in the mountainous area of Dabie, and the river in Hao Tang also rose. A lot of raindrops glowed in the lotus in the pond, and tourists flocked to it.
It's time to enjoy the Dutch season. Hu Tao, the owner of Hao Tang’s “Uphill Mountain Downhill” B&B, has received many online orders, and the “Net Red” vegetable melon sauce on the old street has also become popular.
Hao Tang was once a well-known poor village. In 2011, the local government adhered to the development concept of "no digging mountains, filling ponds, cutting trees, or chopping houses" to create rural tourism, which led a large number of young people to return home and start businesses.
"I already have two companies in Shanghai, and finally chose to come back." In 2014, the successful "post-80s" Hu Tao returned from Shanghai to Hao Tang to start a second business.
Gradually, Hao Tang became famous and was hailed as a "painted village", becoming a well-known "net red punch card", receiving nearly one million tourists every year.
Entering Xihe Village, Zhouhe Township, Xin County, in the hinterland of Dabie Mountain, there are green hills, old trees, and old houses.
The creek is spinning and the waterwheel is flowing, and the birds are cheering; the Xihewan Farmers Professional Cooperative "Ancient Oil Press" is full of tourists who watch and take pictures; Kang Jianxin, the owner of the "Two Two Maojian" shop, said, "The business is still Not bad!"
In the old days, Xihe Village, located in the old revolutionary zone of Dabie Mountain, was surrounded by mountains and closed behind. It was once a "hollow village" with only 39 elderly people left.
A few years ago, the local government invested 70 million yuan to tap the native regional culture that reveals nostalgia, folk customs, nostalgia, and nostalgia, and awakens the “sleeping resources” in the countryside.
"The village is beautiful, there are more tourists, the people who leave the village come back slowly, and the village has vitality." Zhang Yimou, director of the Xihewan Scenic Area Administrative Committee, witnessed the transformation of this 800-year-old traditional village from "hollow village" The process of becoming a popular tourist destination.
Today, Kuang Jianxin, who has been returning from Shenzhen for three years, is no longer satisfied with the "two two hair tips", he is building several "net red" native product brands, turning it into a "beautiful economy".
Compared with the scenic Haotang and Xihe, Shizhuang Village has no green mountains and no green water. But when he walked into a courtyard, vines, ancient trees, small bridges, and flowing water dotted the area, and he sketched out a very interesting "landscape painting".
Shizhuang Village is located in Yongcheng City, the "China Flour City" at the junction of the four provinces of Yulu, Suwan and Anhui. Here, the villagers used to walk on the intestinal path and lived in low-rise houses, guarding Liangtian's "Wangtianshou".
"Shizhuang Village has a long history and heavy culture, and there are historical monuments related to public drinking horses in the village." Chen Hongliang, secretary of the Shizhuang Village Branch, said that because of the backward ideology, the profound cultural heritage is "raised in the deep girl's ignorance."
In 2017, Shizhuang Village combined historical culture with rural revitalization, used local materials, comprehensively used old rural homesteads, waste pits, and old objects to turn an ordinary small village into a “net red” cultural and artistic village. It receives nearly 10,000 tourists every day.
Today, Shizhuang Village, which has become a national 3A-level tourist attraction, has more than 30 artists of all kinds settled in, becoming the village's "new villagers", involved in many categories such as calligraphy and painting, strange stones, folk crafts and so on.
With the revitalization of the countryside and the construction of beautiful villages, there are more and more villages such as Hao Tang, Xihe and Shizhuang that rely on "value" in rural China. (Finish)
