[Well-off China] One Hundred Years of She Township "Transformation": From Poor Countryside to "Poetry and Distance"
[Explanation] Tonglu Eshan She Nationality Township, Tonglu, Zhejiang, Zhejiang, used to be a closed col. "Many bachelors, women without wedding clothes" is a true portrayal of this place. Now the lights in Eshan Township are on, the roads are open, and the barren hills are green, from yellow mud houses to white walls and colorful tiles, from closed blocks to extending in all directions, attracting phoenixes to live, from men’s farming and women’s weaving to the development of the tertiary industry... Good agricultural tourism integration articles have become highly sought after "poems and distant places". The 77-year-old Tian Guanxiu recalled to the reporter the life in the village before, and she couldn't help feeling a lot. She said that she is enjoying her life now. Every family has running water and village access, so she no longer has to worry about water fetching and travel.

In the old houses in the past, the water had to be carried in the creek to eat in the morning, but now the tap water goes to the house, to the door, and water is on the third floor. Don’t worry about it. Now the road is to the door. There are three buses a day. They arrive here at 7:30 in the morning, at 12 noon, and at 4:30 in the afternoon. It is convenient to go outside. I am really happy to think about it now.
[Explanation] The whole area is scenic spots, villages are scenic spots, and households have scenery. In order to turn "green water and green mountains into golden mountains and silver mountains", Eshan revitalizes idle resources, attracts characteristic industries, and high-end homestay industry injects into the collective economy A "living water". In 2013, villagers in Xinfeng Ethnic Village began to rent out their old houses to homestay operators. In a few years, the Daijiashan Boutique B&B cluster has become a "golden name card" in Tonglu County and even Hangzhou. Tian Guanxiu said that now she can get more than 4,000 a month for helping at the homestay, and she really made money at home.

(How much money is a month like auntie?) They have more than 4,000 (that's quite high) in their homestays. They really make money at their doorstep. If you make a lot of money and your life is better, everyone will be happy.
[Explanation] Lei Guoliang, secretary of the Party branch of Xinfeng Ethnic Village, said that in addition to the annual rent and management costs, the homestay also provides employment opportunities for left-behind women in the village. Secondly, it also promotes the sales of agricultural and sideline products in the village. The villagers tasted the happiness of "bulking money bag".

In 2013, our county party committee and the county government advocated the second start-up of the "Hollow Village". After passing 2 homestays and adding this bookstore, we returned to our hometown to start businesses. There are 8 homestays (that The economic benefits are economic benefits. We charge 1,000 sanitation management fees for each room. In general, we can generate 200,000 yuan a year. We just use our land, then our idle houses, and then buy shares with them. This will greatly increase the operating income of the village, and secondly, it can also increase the income of the people, including the sale of agricultural and sideline products. Our sales of sweet potato powder and red yeast rice wine are very good. After the introduction of homestays, the sales are very good, which greatly increases the income of the people and the happiness of the people.
[Explanation] At present, Daijiashan receives an average of 101,000 tourists per year, and its tourism income reaches more than 15.9 million yuan. In order to strengthen the "She Township Culture" brand, Eshan Township not only "dresses up", but also develops and utilizes the She culture from multiple angles to enhance the internal driving force for its own development. More than 30 years ago, this was a small mountain village in the eyes of others; more than 30 years later, it became a highly sought after poem and a distant place.
