How did the poor village at the foot of Zheduo Mountain become the first gateway of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?

Friends who are familiar with the Sichuan-Tibet route know that Zheduo Mountain is the first pass to Tibet. After more than ten kilometers down the mountain, we arrived at Waze Township, the first pass in Tibet. One stop of our trip was Shuiqiao Village in Waze Township. Shuiqiao Village is located at the foot of Zheduo Mountain, about 45 kilometers away from Kangding City. This village, built along the 3 18 national highway, has now become the gateway to Waze Township. However, five years ago, it belonged to one of the six poor villages in Waze Township.

Shuiqiao Village has an average elevation of 3,700 meters, with 90 families and a population of 386. As a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral village, farming and grazing are the main businesses of local villagers. Although agricultural products such as highland barley, potatoes and peas can be planted, the yield is not high and can only meet the villagers' rations at most. In 20 16, the per capita net income of farmers and herdsmen in Shuiqiao village was only about 2800 yuan.

The change of the fate of this village began with the counterpart aid construction of Dujiang weir. Shuiqiao Village is one of the three key villages in Dujiangyan City to help kangding city. In 20 17, Dujiangyan invested1500 million yuan to improve the village infrastructure. With the help of Dujiangyan, village kindergartens, village roads, household roads, wooden plank roads, street lamps, garbage trucks, ecological toilets, bridge reconstruction and power transformation were completed and delivered as scheduled.

On the other hand, in order to live a good life, the villagers in Shuiqiao Village also have a strong desire for development. In Tibetan areas, the best way to get rich is to develop tourism, not to mention the geographical advantages of Shuiqiao Village as the first village in Tibet and the passage of 3 18 National Highway. In order to enhance the reception capacity of tourists, Shuiqiao Village decided to build people's accommodation.

Through the efforts of Dujiangyan Tibet Aid Task Force, Waze Township Government, kangding city Credit Cooperative and Shuiqiao Village "Two Committees", 55 households in the village borrowed 3.26 million yuan to rebuild their houses and develop the cause of receiving local tourists. During the National Day of 20 17, the village opened for business, and received more than 2,500 tourists during the Mid-Autumn National Day Golden Week alone, with a tourism income of about 200,000 yuan. According to incomplete statistics, Shuiqiao Village has 272 guest rooms (64 standard rooms) and 553 beds.

Although the income of villagers has increased, the pace of development of Shuiqiao Village has not stopped. Instead, we will continue to focus on the development and construction of tourist centers, youth hostels and tourist accommodation resources in the village. At present, the main construction and interior decoration of the tourist center and youth hostel have been completed. At the same time, Shuiqiao Village also introduces powerful enterprises into the tourist center to co-ordinate the tourism and accommodation resources of the village, or provide consultation, guidance, parking, accommodation, catering and other services for tourists through unified management, unified management and unified marketing.

Five years ago, the poor village at the foot of Zheduo Mountain became the first gateway village on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Shuiqiao village is not what it used to be. I believe that with more and more tourists stopping here, the life of the villagers in Shuiqiao Village will definitely get better and better.
