Qiaojia Town along the river: the industry is prosperous and the people are happy

The summer is scorching, and the stones are golden. Walking in the soybean and corn strip compound planting demonstration base in Maoqianba Village and Guixian Village, Qiaojia Town, Tujia Autonomous County, along the river, rows of strong corn and soybean plants are growing gratifyingly and swaying in the wind. Despite the scorching sun, the agricultural technology experts and town, village, and group cadres from the county still kept shuttling in the meantime, carefully guiding the hard-working villagers to carry out meticulous management, sweat soaked the back of the clothes, and the trousers were covered with mud, but everyone did not cry out to be tired, in order to grab the time, they were still riveting a force, and the ridges and posts were filled with the joyful singing of the glory of labor.

In recent years, Qiaojia Town has actively promoted the soybean and corn strip compound planting model, made full use of every inch of land, focused on cultivating industries that enrich the people and increase income, and strived to achieve "one land and two incomes". This year, the town implemented 2,000 acres of "3 + 2" soybean and corn strip compound planting according to local conditions to achieve comprehensive transplanting. Through the promotion of improved varieties and good methods, it is possible to achieve corn yield without reducing yield, increase soybean income by one season, and ensure the safety of grain production.

This is a true portrayal of Qiaojia Town's firm implementation of strong industry and rich people according to land moisture.

Qiaojia Town, with outstanding people and rich people, is a "red town" on the Wujiang River in the northeast of Guizhou. In July 1934, He Long and Guan Xiangying led the Red Third Army to fight along the river, and held the first congress of workers, peasants and soldiers of the Qiandong Special Economic Zone in Baishixi Village, Qiaojia Town, where the first red regime on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was established and the Qiandong Revolutionary Base Area was established.

In recent years, Qiaojia Town has deeply practiced the people-centered development thinking, vigorously carried out the "four grassroots units", adhered to the mass line and practice path, walked into the people's homes and hearts, insisted on asking the needs of the people, asking the people, and promoting the footsteps into the villages, the feelings are close to the masses, and the work is in line with reality, and has done a series of good facts that the masses can see and touch. Unswervingly advance the rule of law in towns, establish rule of law cultural corridors in villages and villages, and rule of law publicity activities in the heart; Vigorously promote the construction of safe towns, create a good business environment for investment in accordance with the law, and guide the people of all ethnic groups to learn the law and abide by the law with the culture of the rule of law.

At the same time, Qiaojia Town, which has good ecology, beautiful landscapes, cool climate and other natural conditions and geographical advantages for mountain tourism, summer recreation and recreation, has actively implemented policies, established the goal of building a "leisure summer resort and red tourist resort" along the gate of Henan, focused on improving the rural appearance and farmers' happiness index, strengthened the construction of tourism infrastructure, firmly grasped the strategic opportunities such as promoting high-quality rural development in the new era, supporting the revitalization of old revolutionary areas and ecological economic development, and focusing on red revolutionary resources and green ecological resources. Promote the integrated development of red tourism and eco-tourism, so that the "red gene" and "green barrier" will become a series of sustainable "wealth codes". The brand of "Leisure Summer Resort, Red Tourist Resort" is getting louder and louder.

Continue the red gene to create a characteristic cultural town

"Qingqianze, Land Bay, Red Flag Hunting Song Manshan; Rhododendron blooms the blood of martyrs, and the revolutionary spirit casts a flagpole ...... "90 years ago, the Red Army sowed "red" seeds along the river to illuminate the direction of the people's progress.

Now, 90 years later, there are still 14 red relics in Changzheng Village and Baishixi Village in Qiaojia Town. In 2021, the "Long March National Cultural Park Tourism Infrastructure Project" and the "Red Beautiful Village Pilot Construction Project" will be integrated along the river to accelerate the integrated development of the red cultural tourism industry.

"We focus on the control and protection of revolutionary sites, adhere to the organic combination of protecting and utilizing red resources, promoting the strategy of rural revitalization and leading grassroots governance, pay attention to integrating red elements, party member education, collective economy, rural governance and landscape transformation into project construction, and lead the construction of red beautiful villages with cultural revitalization, organizational revitalization and industrial revitalization." Chen Jun, Secretary of the Party Committee of Qiaojia Town, said.

At present, it has built a training center for party members, a demonstration area for high-quality development led by red cultural inheritance talents in Qiandong, a party member party spirit education teaching point, a party building joint construction teaching point, etc., repaired the independent regiment headquarters and the Red Army hospital, built the Red Army trail, the martyr's cemetery, and the red cultural station, carried out the transformation of the Red Army Street, the road lighting, and launched themed cultural and tourism activities such as "re-taking the Long March Road" and "revisiting the oath of joining the party", which drove the rapid development of the "agricultural tourism industry" in the surrounding villages and boosted rural revitalization.

According to the requirements of the Yanhe County Party Committee, the Red Qiandong Party Committee of Tuiwan was established, and the four party branches of Changzheng Village, Baishixi Village, village-level collective economic company, and Red Cultural Talent Demonstration Zone were incorporated into the unified management of the Party committee, forming a model of "organization co-construction, decision-making and consultation, talent sharing, development and sharing, and rural co-governance", and striving to build the red party organization into a strong fighting fortress.

Innovate the model to make the "red economy" come alive. In recent years, the town has relied on red cultural resources, combined with the construction of beautiful villages, large industrial development households, and typical demonstration households, and through the development mode of government guidance, project support, and self-raising by farmers, it has revitalized collective assets and idle houses of the masses, built homestays, supermarkets, restaurants, etc., launched tourism projects such as red catering, red leisure, and homestay experience, and built a one-stop service system for food, accommodation and recreation, so as to achieve diversified development, multi-level efforts, and multi-channel income increase. Since 2023, the village's operating income has reached about 1.5 million yuan.

Actively explore the development model of "party building + culture + ecology + industry", and the Long March and Baishixi villages have jointly developed characteristic and advantageous industries such as ecological fish farming, rice and fish farming, rape industry, and sweet potato planting and processing according to local conditions. Integrate more than 900 acres of land resources into the land bay collective economic development limited liability company, develop 600 acres of rice and oil rotation farming cultural park, 120 acres of red rice, 120 acres of pepper, 50 acres of chestnut, breed more than 20,000 ecological fish, 1,000 ecological ducks, and develop brands such as Hongcun rapeseed oil and Hongcun rice.

Optimize resources and make "red tourism" popular. Taking the construction of the Long March Red Cultural Park as an opportunity, relying on the restoration and commissioning of the former site of the Revolutionary Committee of the Qiandong Special Economic Zone, we will vigorously develop red tourism, and connect the red tourism routes of Changzheng Village and Baishixi Village in Qiaojia Town with the surrounding Fengxiangxi Town and Muhuang Town, so as to form a red tourism pattern with multi-point support and coordinated development, build a red tourism route with one-stop service for eating, living, traveling and entertainment, and create an influential and competitive experiential and practical training "red education + tourism base". Develop new "red +" projects with distinct themes and vivid and interesting contents, plan and compile tourism development projects such as quality training and wilderness survival experience, and plan and implement the construction of training center buildings, military experience bases and other projects. To create characteristic rural tourism in Baishixi Village and Changzheng Village, organically combine the spatial transformation of the village with cultural tourism, transform and upgrade the production, life and ecological environment of the village, and implement the transformation of the "three micro gardens" of micro gardens, micro vegetable gardens and micro pastorals. At the same time, we will explore and innovate a new development model that integrates red tourism and humanistic tourism, hold a series of activities of "Flower Appreciation Week along the River and Land Bay", connect and integrate surrounding Internet celebrity attractions such as Heiyanmen, and gradually build a red cultural tourism route integrating red education, cadre training, tourism and industrial development. From a remote village in the past to a red tourist attraction that is now full of vitality, Diwan, the old revolutionary base area where the Red Army was reorganized and recuperated 90 years ago, is drawing a new and beautiful blueprint.

With the active trade in the border area and the "Qiaojiapu" with 5 townships, and the Qiaojia Town with 50,000 people, with the construction of a safe, energetic, ecological, charming, happy, and beautiful family, it is ushering in an unprecedented period of development and is radiating the charm of the times.

Excavating resource advantages, eco-tourism is booming

Mountains, rivers, forests and fields are all capital, and green treasures are also "money banks". In recent years, on the basis of ecological protection, Qiaojia Town has awakened the "sleeping" natural resources, taken the road of ecological development combining ecological tourism and red tourism, vigorously promoted ecological industrialization and industrial ecology, and transformed lucid waters and lush mountains into "gold and silver mountains" for villagers to increase their income and get rich.

Heiyanmen Internet celebrity check-in point, located at the top of the mountain at an altitude of more than 1,100 meters, has a wide terrain, and has ancient legends such as Fuxi Divine Stone. Because of its unique geographical location and climatic conditions, it has become a well-known summer resort.

With the rise of the "short video industry", Heiyanmen has become a check-in spot for many netizens, which has driven the hot sales of surrounding food and camping products.

"There are a total of 25 villages (communities) in Qiaojia Town, after the fire in Heiyanmen, there are villagers from 15 surrounding villages who set up stalls in the scenic spots, and there are more than 50 stalls at most, and the gross profit of the barbecue stall with a good business is more than 10,000 yuan a day." Luo Laihai said that under the influence of the spread of short videos, more than 100,000 people will visit Heiyanmen for summer vacation in 2023, and the operating income will be millions of yuan in four months.

The best time to visit in summer is from May to August, due to the high altitude, it enters the cold winter in November, especially on snowy days, and there are many outsiders who come to enjoy the snow and sightseeing.

In the summer of 2023, relying on the excellent ecological environment and convenient transportation advantages, Heiyanmen has become the main tourist attraction for tourists from outside the county such as Yinjiang, Dejiang, Sinan, Youyang, and Xiushan along the river.

It is reported that in addition to the summer resort of Heiyanmen, there is also a ferry connecting Zhongjie Town and Xiaojing Township in Damu Village, and it is also the ferry port between Changgangling of Xiaojing Township and Tongyoutai of Qiaojia Township of the Red Army, and the ferry connects Yantang Village of Xiaojing Township and Gaofeng Village of Zhongjie Town, only a few kilometers to the market town of Liangxiang Township, and only 10 kilometers to Diwan. The ancient ferry port has now become a good place for people to explore the ancient times and find nostalgia.

Xiaojing and Chongqing's southern waist are very rich in red cultural resources. In recent years, along the river, the red culture has been continuously integrated into the construction of beautiful villages, and the protection and inheritance of cultural relics have been implemented. At present, the highway connecting the three places has been opened, which provides gratifying traffic support for the continuous construction of the "Qiaojia-Xiaojing-South Waist Red Tourism Line".

The good ecological environment of the local area has created a rich and colorful beautiful scenery in Qiaojia Town, and the ecological leisure tourism industry system based on 10,000 acres of tea mountains, 10,000 acres of grassland and 10,000 acres of forest farms is becoming more and more perfect, so that tourists can enjoy the sightseeing experience with different characteristics in one town.

Nowadays, when you walk into the house, you can see the green, and you will see the scenery everywhere, which makes people forget to return. High altitude, foggy days, cool climate, green in summer and snow viewing in winter have gradually become the theme of ecological leisure tourism.

Qiaojia Forest Farm is a state-owned forest farm, with an area of more than 30,000 acres, standing on the highest high hat top of the town overlooking the tea field and forest farm, a green landscape is in full view, and the pine trees all over the mountains are verdant and green.

"We seize the opportunity to deepen the reform of state-owned forest farms, and strive to improve the overall level of Qiaojia Forest Park, in accordance with the working mechanism of 'government-led, department-based, and forest area supervisor', we have successfully declared Qiaojia Forest Farm as a provincial-level forest park, and built a 3-kilometer sightseeing road in the core area of the forest area to facilitate tourists to go to the mountains for sightseeing." Tian Xiaochong, deputy secretary of the party committee and mayor of Qiaojia Town, said.

Nowadays, in Qiaojia Town, villages with beautiful ecology, livability, business and tourism are becoming more and more beautiful. It has attracted more and more people of insight to "return to their hometowns", return to their hometowns to start businesses, return to their hometowns, and help rural revitalization.

Deeply cultivate integrated development and create a blessed land for enriching the people and prospering the industry

Qiaojia Town is rich in coal resources, and was once the largest coal-producing township in Tongren, with seven or eight coal enterprises and hundreds of small coal kilns at its peak, and more than half of the villagers make a living by digging coal.

With the introduction of ecological protection policies, the town resolutely implemented the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and closed down all small coal kilns. In recent years, Qiaojia Town has actively explored and vigorously adjusted the industrial structure, and realized the transformation from "black" to "green", from "underground" to "aboveground", from "selling resources" to "selling scenery" through the development of green industries such as tea, flue-cured tobacco, chili, edible fungi, and ecological animal husbandry. Lucid waters and lush mountains are back, ecological agriculture is in the ascendant, and beautiful natural landscapes and cultural landscapes have ushered in people from near and far.

Over the years, Qiaojia Town has actively pursued the industrial transformation of "from underground to aboveground, from black to green", and is determined to take the realistic path of large-scale, scientific and standardized production of agricultural industry.

Qiaojia town belongs to the high-altitude mountainous area, the natural environment is superior, the air is fresh, the perennial clouds and mist are shrouded, the mountain fog is all over the morning and evening on sunny days, the clouds are full of clouds all day after rain, which is very suitable for the growth of tea, the town has been developing tea as the leading industry, there are currently more than 13,500 acres of ecological tea gardens, including more than 11,800 acres of green tea, more than 1,500 acres of white tea, more than 100 acres of golden tea, with an annual output of nearly 400 tons of tea and an output value of more than 1,300 yuan.

Focus on the layout of building "two districts, three lines and one area" agricultural industrial clusters, increase the development of characteristic demonstration industries such as ecological tea, chestnut, edible fungi, kiwifruit and traditional advantageous industries such as rice, rape, flue-cured tobacco, cattle and sheep breeding, steadily promote the development of beef cattle industry, and accelerate the construction of Qianniu Village, Wanniu Town and 100 million yuan industrial economic belt and beef cattle breeding living museum". Nowadays, ecological tea, ecological flue-cured tobacco, ecological pepper and ecological animal husbandry ...... A vibrant green industry has blossomed everywhere, driving the masses to increase their income and become rich. Industrial projects such as ginkgo biloba planting, ecological fruits and vegetables, wind power generation, photovoltaic power generation, and coal mine upgrading are in full swing, promoting the consolidation of poverty alleviation achievements and greater stamina for rural revitalization.

At present, the beef cattle standardization demonstration farm, ecological tea farm, and flue-cured tobacco roasting house in Maoqianba Village, Maoqianba Village, Qiaojia Town, have been leased one after another, running well, and the relay has developed and expanded the village-level collective economy.

In recent years, the town has innovated and promoted the integrated development of agricultural industry and rural tourism, built a beautified and purified cultural and tourism industry base with high standards and standardization, vigorously developed ecological leisure and sightseeing agriculture and rural tourism, integrated the existing local cultural resources such as lanterns, lion lanterns, and money poles, and built an agricultural and tourism integration complex integrating tourism, entertainment and leisure according to local conditions, focusing on promoting rural revitalization, driving the green development of the industry and the steady increase in the income of villagers.

In today's Qiaojia, the red background and the green water and green mountains complement each other, and new forms of business such as red tourism, leisure agriculture, agricultural experience, farmhouse homestays, special catering, and commodity display continue to emerge...... The industrial chain with agricultural characteristics has been continuously extended. In the past, poor villages have become tourist check-in places, ecological agriculture belts have become leisure tourism and sightseeing belts, the pace of rural revitalization is sonorous and powerful, and the lives of the people in the old areas are becoming more and more prosperous.

Beautiful landscapes give birth to new business forms, and lucid waters and lush mountains transform into gold and silver mountains. Walking in Qiaojia Town, a piece of beautiful pastoral scenery comes into view. Clean roads, neat houses, clear streams, colorful fields, lush vegetation, fresh air, and flowers all over the mountains make people forget to return. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it has become the most beautiful background color and the latest color of the former "coal town" Qiaojia Town.
