How did Shuimo Town in Wenchuan successfully transform from an industrial town to a leisure tourist attraction?

Accompanied by the breeze in May, in the old village of Shuimo Town, Wenchuan County, tourists in twos and threes walked on the old street with strong western Sichuan residential style and Qiang and Tibetan customs. Here, villagers dressed in Qiang, Tibetan and Han costumes can be seen at any time interacting enthusiastically with tourists, and people's faces are filled with happy smiles. "The bathroom goes straight along this road, and then turns right." Knowing that two tourists next to it are looking for the bathroom, Tang Hui took the initiative to come forward and give directions. "Laoying, go and have tea when you are finished!" As soon as the tourists were brought here, the villagers coming face to face greeted Tang Hui. Enthusiasm, harmony and simplicity are the most authentic feelings of the old people walking in the village.

Ying Tang Hui is the owner of the hotel in the old people's village. After the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, in June 2008, 165438+ 10, a post-disaster reconstruction plan for Shuimo Town was officially released-to build an ecological new town in Wenchuan and a famous town with strong culture in the west. Ying Tang Hui, who deeply loves Shuimo Town, resolutely chose to give up his job opportunities abroad and return to his hometown to devote himself to reconstruction, becoming the first person to open a restaurant in an ancient street. He told Sichuan News Network that before the earthquake, besides a small number of local people who made a living by farming, a large number of local people worked in local factories. The previous village construction was also unplanned. The earthquake hit this land hard, and industrial enterprises were devastated in the disaster, but no one expected that it became a land of nirvana.

In 20 10, Tang Hui was found by the then head of the old people's village, and asked him to join in and return to Shuimo Town to open a restaurant. Tang Hui came back here without hesitation and opened a restaurant. At that time, the village regularly invited relevant experts to conduct rural tourism training for local villagers. Aiming at the villagers who are willing to develop tourism, experts explained the development trend of modern rural tourism industry, tourism psychological analysis, folk customs and common sense of etiquette, and conducted on-site teaching on practical operations such as restaurant service and room service.

The old people's village hotel of the British Tang Society has developed from a one-story venue with only ten tables to a two-story shop. "Now in the peak season, the income of one day must be tens of thousands." With the support of the government and the demonstration of Tang Hui, more and more shops are opening in the old streets. Selling specialties, opening restaurants, teahouses, hotels ... The development of ancient street tourism is getting more and more decent and changing with each passing day, and people's lives are naturally thriving. In recent years, the social economy of Shuimo Town has developed rapidly. According to statistics, the per capita income 1500 yuan in 2008 reached 4,500 yuan in 2065, 438+0,260 yuan in 2065 and 438+04 years. More and more tourists from Chengdu, Chongqing and other cities around Wenchuan come here for summer vacation.

"I'm going to be a homestay in the old village. The style is definitely based on our western Sichuan style. This is our characteristic. At that time, it will definitely attract more people to come to us. " Tang Hui said with confidence. "Here we are. Now the scenery is beautiful, the people are beautiful, and the transportation is convenient. Welcome everyone to come to the water mill more, and the water mill in the future will become better! "

Nirvana is reborn, and I hope that Shuimo Town will develop better and better.
