Before 2010, the villagers of Shuikou Village could only make a living by chopping moso bamboo and planting terraced fields, with a meager income. Liu Pinghua, then secretary of the Party branch of Shuikou Village, saw this and Urgent in my heart.

Just when they were eager to find a way out but had no hope, Mingyue Mountain Tourism upgraded again. Liu Pinghua was determined to seize the opportunity and convened the whole village party members (village cadres) to study and rely on the original ecological environment and profound folk cultural heritage of Shuikou Village to take a new path of "party building + new rural construction + rural tourism + poverty alleviation and prosperity".

If you want to change and develop, you must first start by improving the environment and infrastructure construction.
