How did Lebugou become the ecotourism trend?

Lebugou in Cona County, Shannan, Tibet, is densely covered with vegetation, shrouded in clouds and mist, and has streams flowing across it. In the ditch, there are Mama Memba ethnic township, Le Memba ethnic township, Gongri Memba ethnic township and Jiba Memba ethnic township. With the help of beautiful natural scenery and unique ethnic customs, the planning of Mama Ecological Civilization and Well-off Demonstration Village began in 2013. Construction started in March 2014, was completed in December 2014, and was officially put into use in January 2015. In 2016 It was rated as "China's Beautiful Leisure Village" by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2011.

From May 1st to June 30th, 2018, the Tibet Autonomous Region implemented 26 state-owned key scenic spots in Tibet on the basis of the "Winter Tour in Tibet? ***Enjoy the Third Pole of the Earth" activity Implemented off-season ticket price (half price). Lebugou, a national 3A tourist attraction, is also included in the promotions. In addition, Shannan City has launched the "Quick Roam and Enjoy the Lebu Rhododendron Sea Tour" activity, which has effectively extended the tourist season in Lebugou.

Because it is located next to the most popular square, the business of Dejitsomu's family is also better. Dejitsomu, who likes to dance, has to take care of the business of his own teahouse and family hotel every night. He can only stand in front of his house and watch from a distance, feeling a little regretful. The beautiful three-story building behind Dejitsomu is the Mama Ecological Civilized Well-off Demonstration Village Project. Dejitsomu, who was born and raised here, has witnessed the transformation of Mama Township and the growth of tourists brought by Lebugou eco-tourism.

“In the past, the roads here were all dirt, and the houses were simple and poorly sealed. When it was windy, the wind blew in through the cracks and it was very cold. Now the houses are bigger. It's beautiful, has floor heating and hot water, and is safe and comfortable. We raised 120,000 yuan of our own money for the house, and the rest of the expenses were funded by the government. The facilities in the family hotel are also provided by the government. , I am very grateful," said Dejitsomu.

The small building of Dejitsomu’s family has a teahouse on the first floor. In addition to self-occupation, there are 6 rooms on the second and third floors used as family hotels. Three of them have been checked in that night. . Thanks to the eco-tourism provided by Mama Ecological Civilization and Well-off Demonstration Village, Dejitsomu's teahouses and family hotels can earn more than 120,000 yuan a year. In addition, her husband Renzin also earns 11,000 yuan a month from driving a loader. Dejitsomu and his family embarked on the road to wealth on their own under the good policies of the party and the government. "In the past, we could only go to Cuona County to buy new year's goods. Now that conditions have improved, we have all gone to Shannan City. Last winter, we went to Lhasa with my family for six days," Dejitsomu said with a happy face.

According to the representative of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the mayor of Mama Township, Bai Mayangjin, the Mama Ecological Civilized Well-off Demonstration Village Project has built 62 housing units for farmers and herdsmen, of which 40 households have been completely relocated. 15 households were renovated; 38 households were provided with three-story large apartments of 244 square meters, and 17 small two-story apartments with 166 square meters were installed, and "water, electricity, Internet, toilets are connected to each household, and roads reach home". In addition, the moderately prosperous model villages also actively encourage farmers and herdsmen to become self-reliant and get rich with their own hands. Up to now, the Xiaokang Demonstration Village has opened 49 family hotels, 7 restaurants, 6 teahouses, 5 shops, and 7 sales points of ethnic products.
