On the afternoon of March 30th, Xi Jinping, who was visiting Zhejiang Province, made a special trip to visit the villagers.
This is not the first time Xi Jinping has come to Yucun.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Yucun people became richer by relying on mining and cement plants. However, the good times did not last long, causing extensive damage to the mountain and serious environmental pollution. From 2003 to 2005, the village closed down the mines and cement plants, and began to seal forests and protect the environment.
On August 15, 2005, Xi Jinping, then Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, came to Yucun for inspection, fully affirming the practice of closing down mines and cement plants in the village, and for the first time proposed the development concept of "green mountains and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains" , Pointed out the road to green development for Yucun.
From the "stone economy" to the "eco-economy" transition, Yucun relies on the "bamboo sea" resource advantage to focus on developing ecological leisure tourism, opening farmhouses, guesthouses, and rafting. After more than ten years of unremitting efforts, Yucun transformed from a polluted village into a national 4A-level scenic spot.
In 2019, the village achieved a total rural economic income of 279.6 million yuan, a per capita income of 49,598 yuan for farmers, and a collective economic income of 5.21 million yuan.
Ecological beauty, prosperous industry and rich people.
Fifteen years ago, Yucun witnessed the birth of the theory that "green water, green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains."
Today, Yu Cun is using his own development practice to become a typical sample of vivid interpretation of this concept.
