(Reporter: Li Ping) From Shiyan Airport in Hubei Province to Shagou Village, Guanfang Township, Yunxi County, Shiyan City, it takes more than 3 hours to drive. About 70% of the young and middle-aged workers in the village go out to work, and there are a large number of vacant houses and houses in the village. How to revitalize these vacant houses and houses from assets into capital, so that villagers can earn money at their doorstep without going out to work, has become a problem that needs to be solved in rural revitalization.
In March 2022, a team of experts from Beijing from Nongdao Township moved into Shagou Village and was warmly welcomed by the villagers. They helped guide the villagers to revitalize the idle houses and houses in the hands of the villagers through the "village stay" model, turned the assets in the hands of the villagers into capital, and launched rural tourism, and Shagou Village regained its vitality.
Shagou Village is geographically remote and has pleasant natural scenery. After the simple design guidance and transformation of the villagers' houses and houses by the team's experts, the original plain-looking houses and houses have been transformed into high-quality country houses full of humanistic feelings and rural stories, and have become "village accommodations" loved by urban tourists. In today's Shagou Village, villagers, village collectives, and township teams share dividends through shareholding cooperation, with a clear division of responsibilities, some people are responsible for offline management, and some people are responsible for online promotion. Rural tourism in Shagou Village is on fire.

Fu Lige, a cultural tourism expert, said in an interview with the media that the rural accommodation in Shagou Village is different from a homestay in the traditional sense. In terms of scale, the investment of homestays is large, and villager families generally cannot afford it. Farmers and villagers simply design and transform their houses and houses into rural lodgings is an active exploration to realize rural revitalization.

Up to now, the first and second batch of township demonstration households in the village have been launched, with an average monthly income of about 3,000 yuan per household. During the Spring Festival, more and more urban tourists will come to Shagou Village to live in "village accommodation" and eat "village kitchen" to see the beautiful scenery and enjoy the happy holiday of the whole family.
