Since the beginning of this year, Chengguan Town, Shiquan County, has carried out villagers' township construction actions through the method of "self-construction and self-responsibility", encouraging villagers to build or renovate a number of boutique homestays and characteristic farmhouses, so that "appreciating farmhouse scenery, eating farmhouse meals, tasting farmhouse dishes, living in farmhouses, doing farmhouse work, entertaining farmhouses, and buying farmhouse products" has become a new form of rural tourism.
At the entrance of Yuanling Village, Chengguan Town, a four-storey homestay is particularly eye-catching, with reception halls, multi-functional banquet halls, guest rooms, tea rooms, etc. Last year, Li Jun, a villager of Yuanling Village, took advantage of the opportunity of the county's rural construction action, relying on the good geographical location advantage and the beautiful scenery adjacent to the Han River, to redecorate his house and turn it into a homestay for leisure and vacation and experiencing special food.
Li Jun, a villager from Yuanling Village, Chengguan Town, Shiquan County: Since its opening, the business is okay, I receive 40 tables a day at most, and the basic reception on holidays is full, and the gross income is 2 million yuan.
The opening of the homestay not only increased Li Jun's income, but also created employment opportunities for nearby villagers.
Li Jun, a villager from Yuanling Village, Chengguan Town, Shiquan County: When I was busy, even those nearby villagers were asking for a temporary favor, cleaning, and serving a plate, and if they came, it would be 150 yuan a day, and there were more than 10 workers who had been working with me for a long time, and their monthly salary was more than 40,000 yuan.
In the Baozi community of Chengguan Town, a newly renovated homestay officially opened on July 1. The fresh and chic courtyard, tree-lined paths, spacious and comfortable rooms, and modern simple furnishings have made the original ordinary house complete a gorgeous transformation. Wang Wendi used to work in Xi'an, and learned that it was difficult to find a room in the hotel in Shiquan, his hometown during the annual holiday, and now he is carrying out rural construction actions to support the development of homestays, so he spent more than half a year since October last year to carefully renovate his house.
Wang Wendi, a resident of Baozi Community, Chengguan Town, Shiquan County: There are a total of 7 rooms, and then they are all in the form of suites, which is especially suitable for this kind of family parent-child tour.
Since the launch of the villagers' rural construction action, Chengguan Town has strengthened planning and guidance, coordinated resource elements, adhered to the masses as the main body, and in accordance with the "five haves" requirements of "strong will, financial strength, business personnel, culinary foundation, and service awareness", focusing on the surrounding scenic spots, the Han River and along the national highway, mobilizing the masses to develop homestays, comprehensively improving the rural development outlook, and striving to create a livable, workable and beautiful village.
Yang E, Propaganda Member of the Party Committee of Chengguan Town, Shiquan County: This year, our town is being rebuilt or newly built and a total of 15 households are willing to live with homestays. In the next step, our town will continue to increase publicity, do a good job in relevant service guarantees, continue to mobilize farmers to use idle housing to upgrade and transform reception operations, and improve the level of all-for-one tourism reception in our county. This not only solves the current situation of "hard to find a house" in our county's holiday peak, but also "turns leisure into treasure" to increase the income of the masses, so as to further promote the improvement of the rural environment, improve the rural industrial chain, continue to improve supporting facilities, and build a national sharing pattern.
