Core reading

There are hundreds of days of fog and snow, and the number of days suitable for production in a year is less than four months-deep in Wuling Mountain area. Such natural conditions once made Yunding Village face development difficulties. Nowadays, the local area relies on natural endowments to develop eco-tourism and let Yunding Village get rid of poverty.

On Bamian Mountain, which is more than 1,2 meters above sea level, tourists keep coming. On the edge of the long stone steps, Jia Shuilian is cleaning the trail. Under the cliff, the clouds are transpiration.

Jia Shuilian is a villager in Yunding Village, Ye Town, Longshan County, Hunan Province. She has lived in the mountains for decades. Not long ago, she put down her plow and had an "eco-tourism meal"-she worked as a cleaner in Liye Ancient City Tourism Investment and Management Co., Ltd. in Longshan County, and her life became better and better ...

Good mountains and rivers brought good popularity

The simple oven made a "beep" sound, and the room was full of the smell of roasted mutton. Tourists can't help the temptation of delicious food, and the urging sound of serving is higher than one.

44-year-old Zhang Xiaoquan quickly asked his wife to serve the dishes. With this catering service point alone, he can make a net profit of less than 1 a day; Catch up with the good weather at night, and there are camping tourists to rent tents, which can earn hundreds of dollars more.

Zhang Xiaoquan is a villager in Yunding Village. Although his life is booming now, he was not so comfortable when he first returned to the village to contract this hill a few years ago.

genting village covers an area of 7.33 square kilometers, but there are only 6 natural villages and 818 people. Here, the average household land is tens of acres, and few can plant the land. Taking a fancy to this, in 212, Zhang Xiaoquan, who worked hard outside, returned to the village for development.

"It depends on the sky to grow grain for dinner!" Some villagers advised him.

Yunding Village has many rocks, thin soil layer and poor fertility, so the development of agriculture is inherently limited. Bamian Mountain, where the village is located, belongs to the alpine platform. It is shrouded in fog, rain and snow for almost half a year, and crops lack light, so the yield is generally low.

Zhang Xiaoquan refused to accept it. He stubbornly planted corn, sweet potatoes and tobacco leaves all over the place, and the years were good and bad. After a calculation, the capital was reduced by more than half. The original drive for hard work is gone.

At the beginning of 218, Zhang Xiangyang, the first secretary of Yunding Village, found the crux. "Yunding Village, with high mountains and heavy fog, usually has beautiful clouds and bright stars on sunny days. It is not suitable to engage in pure agriculture, but it is just right to develop eco-tourism." With the help of Zhang Xiangyang, Zhang Xiaoquan set up the "Genting Top Ecological Agriculture Cooperative", and carefully selected 4 square meters of land on the edge of the cliff and turned it into grassland for tourists to visit and camp. "At the hottest time in August, 2 tents a night are not enough to rent!" Zhang Xiaoquan said excitedly.

The vegetation and rocks here have all become famous local tourist attractions.

"Bang Bang", and the decoration sound came from the attic of villager Aayidu's house. The original room is not enough to live in, and Lao Peng intends to use the upstairs. A rough calculation shows that the investment is 4, to 5, yuan. Lao Peng said that the tourists who come now wave after wave are not worried about the demand for housing, but the improvement of quality. But just last year, when the village encouraged Lao Peng to develop a homestay, he was still hesitant: "Can there be tourists on this mountaintop?"

not surprisingly, although the ecological environment here is good, you can see the ancient city of Liye at the foot of the mountain by drilling, but the road up the mountain is shabby, and it takes an hour or two to go one way. After living in the mountains for decades, Aayidu only saw the locals moving down the mountain, but didn't see foreigners moving up the mountain.

In order to make a name for himself, Zhang Xiangyang first invited relevant experts to inspect the natural ecology; In addition, a benefit performance of guqin and guzheng was held at the top of the dangerous peak, and the performance video with fluttering clothes was spread, which attracted a lot of popularity. Gradually, Genting Village on Bamian Mountain became more and more famous.

As it happens, Longshan County has promoted global tourism and made joint efforts to upgrade the uphill roads. Panshan Road, which is five or six meters wide, goes directly to the top of Bamian Mountain, and it takes only 4 minutes from Liye Ancient City to Yunding Village.

The villagers are not idle, trying to improve their travel experience. One mountain, one stone, one water and one tree in Yunding Village have all become famous local tourist attractions.

separate planting, raising and swimming, and protect the ecology

nowadays, the villagers feel most obviously that agricultural and sideline products have a good market. "I couldn't sell it before, but now both fresh meat and wax products are snapped up." Zhang Xiangyang said.

villagers have benefited, and the scale of farming has been expanding, but it has brought new problems. The meadow on the mountain is thin, and the grazing livestock have chewed up the turf in some places and even polluted the spring water.

The villagers have just eaten the "eco-tourism meal" and can't smash their own rice bowls-the villagers have reached an agreement. Looking at the hills, everyone finally figured out a way: there are many inaccessible cliff terraces in Yunding Village, and a little renovation is a natural good pasture.

"It's cold on the mountain, so cows can't sleep there at night. It's far away, and I can't drive it home every day. " The villager Chu Yongan has some opinions. What he thought, the village also thought. Last year, Yunding Village raised nearly 39, yuan to build sheds in three cliff pastures that were intensively stocked to help livestock avoid the cold.

With the pasture, farming, planting and tourism are separated, and the environment of Yunding Village has been greatly improved. Fortunately, the precious water sources on the mountain have also been protected.

Wuling mountain area

Wuling mountain area mainly refers to the area where Wuling mountain and other veins belong, which spans four provinces and cities of Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing and Guizhou, and is one of the 14 concentrated contiguous poverty-stricken areas. There are many mountains and hills in the territory, and the climate is harsh. Soil erosion and rocky desertification are serious in some areas.

Eight counties and cities in Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hunan Province are all located in Wuling Mountain area. In recent years, Xiangxi adheres to the combination of ecological protection construction and poverty alleviation and development, and has successively promoted artificial afforestation projects, Yangtze River shelterbelt construction, returning farmland to forests, comprehensive management of rocky desertification, wetland protection and restoration and other ecological projects. By the end of 219, the forest coverage rate in Quanzhou has reached 7.24%, and the standing stock has reached 48.3176 million cubic meters. An ecological barrier of "one garden, two waters and three mountains" has been initially established with Aizhai National Forest Park as the center, Youshui and Yuanshui water systems as the context, and Bamian Mountain, Yangfeng Mountain and Laer Mountain as the framework.

in recent years, based on a number of national and provincial forest parks, national wetland parks and other natural resources in the region, Xiangxi has actively developed eco-tourism to help overcome poverty.
