Xinhua News Agency, Hangzhou, July 12 (Reporter Huang Xiao) With the summer vacation coming, Cao Xingquan, a citizen of Taizhou, found a "treasure tourist destination" in a small island village on the east coast, glass suspension bridges, time tunnels, and the sky... "I didn't expect this. There is a "Country Disney" hidden in the small mountain village!"
The "treasure tourist destination" that Cao Xingquan said is located in Shangzhantou Village, Ganjiang Town, Yuhuan City, Taizhou, Zhejiang.
With the construction of beautiful villages, the blue sea, blue sky, rocks, and seagulls in Shangzhantou Village attract more and more tourists, but unfortunately, people just watch the sea and listen to the waves, and Shangzhantou Village cannot keep tourists, and the beautiful scenery is also difficult. "Monetize".
How to turn beautiful scenery into a beautiful economy?
After various investigations and investigations, Shangzhantou Village decided to spend 7 million yuan to build a glass suspension bridge, a recreational facility, to raise funds by using the “49% of villagers + 51% of the village collective” to raise funds, and to establish a company for development and operation.
At first, many villagers in Shangzhantou Village held a wait-and-see attitude, and some villagers in the surrounding villages also waited to see the joke: Who will play a glass suspension bridge in such a remote place?
However, 7 months later, the glass suspension bridge in Shangzhantou Village was built, facing the sea, flying over the cliffs.
On December 23, 2018, the glass suspension bridge was put into operation and quickly became popular in Wentai, Zhejiang. In less than 4 months, the ticket revenue reached more than 4 million yuan.
The villagers who had waited and watched before could not sit still, and voluntarily proposed to the village committee to join the stock.
So Shangzhantou Village launched a new round of "share crowdfunding."
In two or three years, Shangzhantou Village has successively invested more than 40 million yuan to build more than ten amusement projects.
Driven by tourism projects, the collective economy of Xiashangzhantou Village has grown from a debt of 200,000 yuan to an annual income of more than 1 million yuan, and the average annual income of the villagers has increased by more than 2,000 yuan.
"Our family of six have invested in shares and invested 33,000 yuan. In less than two years, we have paid a total of 12,600 yuan in dividends twice. In the future, our family will receive dividends for the money earned from tourism projects in the village." Yan Jing, a villager of Shangzhantou Village, said happily .
The practice in Shangzhantou Village is a microcosm of the local exploration of “farmers holding shares for common prosperity”.
As one of the birthplaces of the joint-stock cooperative system, Yuhuan City took advantage of the third batch of pilot reforms of the rural collective property rights system in 2018. The “farmers hold shares for wealth” model turned all 336,800 farmers into “shareholders” and allowed funds to Turning into stocks and turning resources into assets not only effectively stimulated the vitality of rural development, broadened the channels for farmers to increase income, but also embarked on a path of common prosperity that suits their own reality.
In 2020, the per capita disposable income of permanent residents in Yuhuan City is 61,186 yuan, and the per capita disposable income ranks 4th in all counties (county-level cities) nationwide and 2nd in Zhejiang in 2020.
The per capita disposable income gap between urban and rural residents has narrowed from 2.05 in 2016 to 1.98 in 2020, and the income ratio of urban and rural residents has fallen to less than "2" for the first time.
The practice of narrowing the income gap between urban and rural residents and creating a "shared wealth circle" in the countryside has "bloomed and bear fruit" in various places in Yuhuan.
Due to the decline of marine resources, fishery production has been reduced, and fishermen’s income has been in trouble.
Yuhuan City Democracy Fishery Professional Society invested more than 60 million yuan, with Lin Zhaoyong, vice chairman of the cooperative as the main body, and established the country’s first marine processing center for the whole industry chain of sea-catch shrimp, and absorbed 131 prawn fishing boats as "non-staff employees." The production and processing are seamlessly connected, and the full automation from the production of fresh shrimp to the boxed finished products has been realized. It has driven 131 "non-staff" shrimp towing boats to increase revenue by more than 600,000 yuan per ship, benefiting more than 1,000 fishermen.
Knowing that the 11 low-income households in the village had no money to invest in the construction of the Lotus Pond theme park project, the party members and cadres of Yangkeng Village took the initiative to pair with them to help advance the capital to buy shares, and return the principal when dividends are distributed, so as to protect the low-income households "The old hen who lays golden eggs".
The "collective + villager" share crowdfunding model that started from within a village is evolving into a "collective + collective" co-construction, sharing, and prosperity between villages.
Focusing on the construction of the "coastal landscape belt", all villages in Ganjiang Town have defined differentiated development paths such as "beautiful countryside + amusement", "beautiful country + red elements", "beautiful country + cultural tourism", "beautiful country + health care base", etc. To avoid duplication of construction and vicious competition, and to form a joint venture in the area, build a community of shared interests.
The first Baotuan joint construction and joint venture project-the coastal sightseeing and tourism small train, which is jointly developed by the three villages of Baotai, Baima'ao, and Shangzhantou, each occupying one-third of the shares. This year, the "May 1st" small holiday will be put into operation and become a tourist attraction for surrounding tourists. Another "punch point".
Small bonsai are strung together to form a big landscape, and the "value" becomes a discountable "value", and villagers who go out to work hard come back to work and start businesses.
"The village has developed so well, who would want to go out and run around?" Jiang Anliu, 37 this year, is one of many returning to the village. Now he works as a ticket salesperson for the village tourism company and earns 3,000 yuan a month.
Jiang Anliu said that being able to earn wages at home and taking care of children and the elderly made him feel very satisfied.
Wu Caiping, secretary of the Yuhuan Municipal Party Committee, said that it is our goal and the direction of our efforts to make farmers become "shareholders" and take a practical way of promoting common prosperity through industrial projects and private economic development. Only when the income of farmers is high and the gap between urban and rural areas is narrowed, can we truly be prosperous together.
