Fuding Yuandang Village: Integration of fishing and tourism, on the road to steady revitalization

On the banks of Qingchuan Bay in the long summer, Yuandang Village, Dianxia Town, Fuding City, has endless scenery. The clear sea water reflects the hills. Dots of fishing boats are parked on the shore. Tourists stroll on the beach to pick up shells. Villagers sit on the promenade to enjoy the cool air.

Surrounded by mountains by the seaside, this is a major feature of Yuandang Village. There are miles of sandy beaches here, as well as Muyu Island, which is made of granite and ash layers, and "Little Taimu". Xishan, as it is called, integrates mountains, villages, shores, islands, bays and seas. It is rich in resources and nourishes both the land and the people. This has led to the development of mariculture among the villagers.

?The village currently has 11 seaweed factories, 10 nurseries, 5 South American shrimp farms, and 1 yellow croaker nursery. Huang Youjing, secretary of the Party branch of Yuandang Village, introduced that in recent years, Fuding City has continued to carry out demonstration and promotion of differentiated cultivation of seaweed, guiding the breeding of new varieties of seaweed, and guiding scientific seedling collection? With the help of new ideas and new technologies, As a result, farmers’ confidence doubled.

From the second half of last year to this spring, Yuandang Village achieved an output value of 40 million yuan from seaweed breeding alone. This year, the scale of seaweed farming in the village has continued to expand, increasing to about 120 households. ?Seedlings can be planted around the Mid-Autumn Festival when the temperature is suitable. Huang Youjing said that in order to enhance the sustainable development capability of the seaweed industry, the village actively carried out environmental protection rectification, installed waste gas treatment facilities, built a new wastewater sedimentation tank, purchased wastewater treatment equipment for water circulation and filtration, etc. At the same time, we encourage intensive processing and diversified breeding, and seek new ways of transformation and upgrading.

Taking this opportunity, villager Chen Yongyi saw the opportunity of oyster farming, and started experimenting with two other villagers. Last year, we first tested the waters and cultivated 60 acres, and the growth was very good. We started harvesting from the Dragon Boat Festival, with about 90,000 kilograms worth 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Having tasted the benefits, Chen Yongyi is more confident and plans to expand the oyster farming industry this year and make it another local specialty product.

Now that you have a good product, how can you use it wisely? Yuandang Village further amplifies the resource superposition effect, combines the breeding industry with tourism, extends the industrial chain, promotes products, brings in tourists, and promotes new rural development.

Our village is located within the radiation drive range of Taimu Mountain and Yushan Island, two major scenic spots, and has significant development opportunities. Therefore, we are preparing to build a central village dominated by seafood aquaculture and processing, red culture, and coastal tourism, so that primary aquaculture and secondary industry processing can provide tourism products for tertiary industry tourism, and then use tourism to feed back the development of the primary and secondary industries. Huang You said in shock.

With the promotion of all-area tourism in Fuding City, Yuandang Village will be included in the development as an important part of the Qingmin Bay Seaside Tourist Resort, and is also planned to be an important stop on the No. 8 Tourist Highway. In order to promote diversified development, the village has deeply explored the local cultural connotation, upgraded the appearance of the village, improved basic supporting facilities, renovated the revolutionary historical memorial hall and the former residence of martyrs, and connected the mountains, seascapes and tea gardens into a line, focusing on cultivating fishermen's fishing customs. Experience, coastal beach entertainment, mountain and sea holiday accommodation, popular science education, catering and food and other tourism products, open up the entire tourism cycle, and strive to create a mountain and sea leisure characteristic village.

This year, taking the opportunity to be selected as one of the first batch of gold medal tourist villages in Ningde, we will continue to do a good job in village planning, plan and cultivate a number of high-quality tourism projects, and build a leisurely tea travel destination in the mountains and seas. , gather popularity, strengthen confidence, and lead the villagers on the road to a comprehensive and well-off society. Huang You said in shock.
