　　Luo Mantang, a 54-year-old villager in Yufeng Village, did not expect that after decades of planting land on Huaiyu Mountain, he now opened a farmhouse in the village.

　　Yufeng Village, Huaiyu Township, Yushan County, Jiangxi Province, located in a high mountain basin with an average elevation of more than 1,000 meters, was once a typical "side", "far" and "poor" small mountain village due to its remote location and inconvenient transportation.

　　"The road down the mountain used to be very shabby. When we took the car to the county seat, it was particularly bumpy, like riding in a cradle. Most of the houses we lived in were adobe houses, and they leaked when it rained." Speaking of the village's formerly blocked and poor appearance, Luo Mantang has been Still fresh in my memory.

　　Build an 18.77-kilometer-long highway, invest 20 million yuan to renovate residential houses, demolish more than 100 aqua toilets... The local government has carried out a series of drastic constructions in Yufeng Village. Relying on the rich red cultural resources and green ecological resources, this dilapidated village has now transformed into a prestigious rural tourist spot.

　　"More than ten years ago, my family's annual income was only more than 6,000 yuan." Luo Mantang had previously lived in poverty due to lack of technology and ways to get rid of poverty. With the passage of roads and tourists coming, Luo, who is active in his mind, saw business opportunities and started farming. “Last year, my family’s net income from farming was more than 120,000 yuan.”

　　Like Luo Mantang, Yu Xianglian, a villager in Yufeng Village who was worried about the holidays, also ate "tourism meals." With the encouragement of helping cadres, she set up a homestay with loans to provide accommodation and catering services for tourists.

　　"My wife spent a lot of money on medical treatment before he was alive. After the'pillars' were gone, life at home became more difficult. Even the fish I ate during the New Year were given away by others." Mentioned the poor life of the past, Yu Xianglian, who had lived in sixties. Degree choked. "The living conditions are much better now. Last year, there were more guests and the family income exceeded RMB 50,000." She is confident about the future.

　　In the midsummer season, strolling in Qianjia Village, Longmenfan Township, Hengfeng County, Jiangxi Province, about 100 kilometers away from Huaiyu Mountain, the houses are scattered and the village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, attracting many surrounding tourists to come to "check in."

　　"The environment here is good, there are many tourists, so I came too." Hu Xintu, who has been engaged in the catering industry for more than ten years, opened a farmhouse in Qianjiacun. "At most ten guests a day are received, so I am too busy."

　　"Six mountains, one river, two fields, one road and manor" is a simple summary of Jiangxi's rural style in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. More than 70% of the province's tourism resources are concentrated in the countryside.

　　In recent years, Jiangxi has vigorously developed rural tourism and solved the problem of "beautiful poverty". The "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Revitalization of Rural Industries" recently issued by the province puts forward the focus on the development of leisure agriculture and rural tourism, and the construction of a number of leisure agricultural boutique parks, country houses, research, learning and health care bases with complete facilities and functions; Excellent leisure agriculture and rural tourism routes with outstanding characteristics and bright themes; a number of beautiful leisure villages and key rural tourism villages have been identified.

　　According to data disclosed by the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in 2019, the province's main business income of leisure agriculture was about 46 billion yuan, with 5,013 leisure agriculture business entities, and 25,400 farmhouses.

　　It is worth mentioning that Jiangxi's agricultural and rural departments have also formulated and issued provincial-level leisure agriculture and rural tourism industry standards, which have led the province's leisure agriculture and rural tourism business entities to enter a standardized and standardized development track.

　　In the view of Tu Longfeng, deputy director of the Institute of Sociology of the Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences, the development of rural tourism can enhance the endogenous "hematopoiesis" ability of rural poverty-stricken areas, transform rural ecological resources, cultural and historical resources into "rich people's capital", and promote poverty. The income level of the population.

　　Tu Longfeng suggested that the development of rural tourism should keep homesickness and authenticity, play the "nostalgia card", tap the unique cultural resources of the village, cultivate distinctive IP, and use culture to enhance the taste of rural tourism; it is necessary to give play to the role of village democracy and build a unified Set the interest linkage mechanism to realize the organic integration of the regional community, the value community and the interest community, so as to stimulate the villagers' enthusiasm for developing tourism and protecting the countryside.
