Yangrong Village, also called "Yangrong Hader", means "a place to start to happiness" in Tibetan. It is a village inhabited by the Jiarong Tibetans. It is located in the central area of the local boutique scenic spot "Larch Forest" in the local Naizigou Bashili color forest area. .
Entering the village, the accommodation reception area, catering reception area, and tea tasting leisure area are planned in an orderly manner. The villagers are dressed in brand-new clothes and are full of spirits, welcoming tourists.
It is unimaginable that the traffic in the past Yangrong Village was actually blocked, the materials were all carried on horseback, and the houses of the villagers were often affected by landslides and geological disasters, and the production and living conditions were extremely difficult.
"It was really bitter at that time. It took nearly two hours to walk from the suspension bridge on National Highway 347 to the village again." Emu said, but since the village-wide strategy was implemented in Yangrong Village, the quality of life of the villagers has greatly improved.
"Like me, I use my new home for homestay management, and I usually do some business selling Tibetan handicrafts in the scenic area. Coupled with the fact that my family sells a few yak every year, my annual income can be more than 100,000."
In 2012, Yangrong Village implemented relocation for poverty alleviation and built new houses in Heba.
The whole village relocation is not just about changing a safe place. The local government has a plan: the so-called backing and eating mountains, the large green waters and green mountains guarded by the Yangrong Village are the golden mountains and silver mountains with great potential.
Therefore, the local government invited the Aba Prefecture Architectural Design Institute to make a master plan for the construction of the Yangrong New Village, positioning the new village as a boutique tourism village, and invited a professional tourism management company to explore the "branch + company + farmer" business model. More than 40 households of villagers and buildings in the village carry out unified operation, management and distribution.
