　　In the Gaoping area of ​​Nanchong Linjiang New District, representatives of overseas Chinese media walked into Nanchong Modern Logistics Park.

According to reports, the establishment of the Linjiang New District has brought opportunities for the development of the modern logistics industry. The logistics industry will also "feed back" the development of other industries and promote Nanchong's integration into the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle.

　　In the park, trucks from afar lined up in front of the warehouse, after which gray logistics bags were piled into several "hills" of five or six meters high.

"More drivers are still on the road," He Xia, head of the office of Nanchong Chuanhua Highway Port Logistics Co., Ltd., told overseas Chinese media representatives that at night, the park truly ushered in the busiest moment of the day.

　　In the park, Ren Chuangong, chairman of Australia Aohua TV Media and editor-in-chief of "New Market" in Australia, used his mobile phone to photograph the traffic of cars in Nanchong Modern Logistics Park.

Ren Chuangong believes that the construction of the logistics park is of great significance to the development of Nanchong and will bring convenience and create benefits to the local economic growth.

　　During this trip to Nanchong, representatives of overseas Chinese media also went deep into the fields to personally experience the transformation of rural style and development mode under rural revitalization.

In Chunyangshan Village, Ba'erhu Town, Nanchong County, mushroom cultivation has begun to take shape.

According to Liu Xiaoyi, the first secretary of the village, there are 15 "smart mushroom houses" for planting in the village. Under the air conditioning temperature adjustment, Agaricus bisporus can produce 4 seasons a year, and the annual output of each mushroom house can reach 34 tons. Net profit of about RMB 100,000.

　　Walking into the "Smart Mushroom Room No. 7", villager Wang Xingmeng, who came here at 4 a.m., just finished picking bisporus mushrooms. Baskets of bisporus mushrooms were neatly placed on the side of the door, waiting for buyers to pick them up.

"After growing mushrooms, my income has increased, and my family life has undergone earth-shaking changes." Talking about the thriving life, Wang Xingmeng smiled with joy.

In addition to daily picking and planting, Wang Xingmeng has also repeatedly invited technicians from the village to "apprentice to learn art".

Under the "technology bonus", Wang Xingmeng's "smart mushroom house" has an annual net profit of close to 200,000 yuan.

　　In the "Smart Mushroom Room No. 7," Meng Linghua, the deputy editor-in-chief of the Kansai Chinese Times of Japan, talked with Wang Xingmeng, and was deeply moved by Wang Xingmeng's personal story and optimism.

"A person like Wang Xingmeng who not only has the desire to get rid of poverty, but also puts it into action and has the ability to learn, and who is always full of confidence, is particularly worthy of recommendation. He is a role model who can shine in any corner of the world." Meng Linghua wrote in the article.

　　In Nanchong, representatives of overseas Chinese media also experienced the development of Nanchong's cultural tourism industry up close.

In recent years, the cultural and tourism industry in Nanchong has grown rapidly. According to the work report of the Nanchong Municipal People's Government in 2020, the output value of the cultural and tourism industry in Nanchong was 97.25 billion yuan in 2019, an increase of 24.9%.

　　In Peng'an County, Nanchong, Chinese media representatives walked into the ancient town of Zhouzi, which is located on the banks of the Jialing River and has a history of more than 1,400 years.

This small town, known as "the last ancient town of the pier on the Jialing River", now has more than 3000 sets (rooms) of Ming and Qing style bucket-type wooden structures.

It is worth mentioning that, unlike ordinary ancient towns, there are still a large number of "indigenous people" living in the ancient town of Zhouzi. As soon as visitors step on the bluestone road of the ancient town, they can experience the breath of life "pervading" the streets and lanes. A blend of history.

　　Zhu Xin'e, vice president of Egypt's "China Weekly", said that by preserving the "authentic" ancient town life, the ancient town of Zhouzi effectively blocked the commercial atmosphere and allowed tourists to quickly integrate into the ordinary life of local people. This is precisely where its core competitiveness lies.

"I hope the original style of the ancient town can be preserved forever." (End)
