Liujiawan village surrounded by green water and green mountains
Singing, barbecuing and playing games.……On May 1st, on the lawn of Liujiawan Village, Guanyin Town, Yunxi County, Shiyan City, Hubei Province, more than 20 employees from a catering company in the county were carrying out group building activities.
Starting from Yunxi County, you can drive along Tianhe for 15 minutes to reach Liujiawan Village, which is called "Love Bay".
Before 2018, Liujiawan Village had been unknown. However, a few years later, the village stood out from the 30 villages along the Tianhe River Basin and became the first choice for citizens to punch cards, for literati to live in, and for gathering and group building. In 2023, Liujiawan Village was selected as the third batch of national rural governance demonstration villages.
A plan, let the small mountain village catch the development express.
In 2015, after taking office, Yang Fei, secretary of the Party branch of Liujiawan Village, was full of enthusiasm and wanted to do something. There are many contradictions and disputes in the village. After completing the "every household goes", he realized that development is the best way to resolve contradictions.
In 2017, Yunxi County hired Nongdao (Beijing) Planning and Design Co., Ltd. as the design unit, and incorporated 30 villages along the Tianhe River Basin into the overall planning, taking Tianhe as the link to create a unique eco-cultural tourism route-"Tianhe Water Town"·Baili Gallery ". At this time, Yang Fei was keenly aware that the opportunity for the development of Liujiawan Village came.
Legend has it that Liujiawan Village is a place where the Weaver Girl plays in the water. It incarnates the Taurus star of the old cow and leads the Cowherd to the river to meet the Weaver Girl. Later, they became husband and wife, started a happy life of farming and weaving on earth, and gave birth to a pair of children. This beautiful legend is well known in Liujiawan Village.
In order to develop, Yang Fei met with the members of the village’s "two committees" several times and reached a consensus: "Our village has mountains and water, beautiful legends and unique advantages, so we must seize the county to build a’ Tianhe Water Town’.·The opportunity of Baili Gallery. "
After many efforts, the design unit agreed to make a village-level plan for Liujiawan Village alone, and positioned the village as "Love Bay", giving it new connotation.
According to the planning idea of "living first, then producing", Liujiawan Village has identified five key tasks in improving the living environment, namely, "transforming the appearance of the village, transforming the folk houses, improving public service facilities, creating public spaces and improving the indoor environment"; In terms of industrial development, five key measures have been formulated, namely, setting up cooperatives, revitalizing collective assets, developing rural tourism, developing original agriculture and organic agriculture, and developing homestays and workshops with families as the main body.
Opening the planning book of Liujiawan Village, Yang Fei pointed to the route map of the village pipe network project on page 190 and said happily to the reporter: "Look at the sewage collection pipe network painted here. We rely on planning to win the project and realize early planning, early construction and early benefit."
A transformation, so that homesickness into online celebrity scenic spot.
Liujiawan Village was originally similar to other villages along the Tianhe River in terms of resource endowment, and it was a homesick place for people in the city. But relying on the word "homesickness" alone, Liujiawan Village is not enough to stand out.
Overlooking Liujiawan, Tianhe turned a big bend here. The topography and beautiful legends not only settled this "Love Bay", but also made the village committee focus on planning and development.
Focusing on the theme of love, the village divides the available mountain land into rural love area, Bilianchi resort area, flower sea amorous feelings area, romantic forest experience area, etc. According to the function, it arranges leisure, study, homestay, entertainment, culture and art, ecological food and other business scenarios.
The wasteland becomes a lawn. A 25-mu abandoned land in the village has been transformed into a lawn square suitable for all ages after changing the nature of the land. The lawn is operated by the market main body, and tourists can barbecue, sing and play games on the lawn, and the market main body provides corresponding rental services. "On weekends and holidays, the starry room on the lawn costs up to 198 yuan a night." Lawn operator Wang Li said.
Residential houses become homestays. Liujiawan Village has successively renovated 185 houses, innovatively explored the business model of "one house can be used for two purposes", encouraged farmers to set up homestays, farmhouses and family workshops, and established the business model of "farmers’ assets and collective assets are packaged and invested, and the operating institutions return dividends and then invest", so that farmers, enterprises and village collectives can all have income. "A number of B&Bs such as Langge B&B, Qiuxi Mountain Villa and Tianhe Family have been put into use, and these B&Bs can provide differentiated and personalized services for different customer groups." Yang Fei introduced.
Products become commodities. "After our village has become a scenic spot, agricultural products such as sweet potatoes, corn, bamboo shoots, cherries and mushrooms have become popular commodities for tourists." The villager Peng Huali said. The village committee guided the villagers to vigorously develop courtyard economy, gully economy and order economy, develop 500 mu of small fruit industry and 180 mu of chrysanthemum industry, and build an e-commerce live broadcast base and a rural revitalization industry training base to help villagers increase their income at home.
Rural tourism is on fire, and the villagers have bulging pockets. Today, Liujiawan Village receives more than 100,000 tourists every year, and its collective income exceeds 300,000 yuan, making it a veritable scenic spot in online celebrity.
A revolution has made "micro-governance" a national model.
When the life of the villagers is getting better and better, the work of Liujiawan village Committee gradually changes from heavy management to micro-governance. "We vigorously practice the’ Fengqiao experience’ and implement the working mechanism of’ having a place to talk about things, having a system director, someone to take charge of things, and having a way to do things’, so as to realize that small things do not leave the village, big things do not leave the town, contradictions do not hand in, and services are not lacking." Yang Fei said.
"Dear fellow villagers, this is why I said that when borrowing money, I must write an IOU, which will have a legally binding force on the borrower and reduce the probability of default.……In October last year, the propaganda and investigation team of Jingchu Grass-roots Tour of Politics and Law came to Liujiawan Village, where Zhong Yajuan, a resident lawyer, gave lectures on popularizing the law in dialect for more than 20 villagers. Legal popularization activities like this have become a part of the daily work of Liujiawan Village.
In the new era, governance faces new tasks. In the process of rural governance, Liujiawan Village pays special attention to ecological environment governance. In order to ensure that a reservoir of clear water can be sent to the north permanently, the village has established a five-level governance organization network, explored the mechanism of "party member’s joint household and grid service", built 2 new eco-tourism public toilets, demolished or renovated 210 dry toilets, 32 pigsty, 1,450 square meters of illegal buildings, built 3,200 meters of sewage pipe network and 3 constructed wetlands, and basically achieved full coverage of sewage collection.
In the process of environmental improvement, road construction and housing renovation, the village has established a labor-input mechanism to guide villagers to participate in the construction of beautiful homeland by means of capital contribution, contribution and ideas, thus realizing "doing things by themselves" and "doing practical things with little money". On the occasion of the in-depth development of joint creation activities, Liujiawan Village explored the establishment of a "shared industrial park", which includes shared vegetable fields, shared pigsty, shared handmade horns, etc. The residents of the whole village regularly and irregularly participate in mutual assistance work, and the fruits of labor are used as filial piety and love for the elderly for the elderly in the village.
In promoting the modernization of governance system and governance capacity, Liujiawan Village has accurately recognized changes, scientifically responded and actively sought changes, embarked on a benign development track of collusion, co-construction, co-management, joint evaluation and sharing, and was awarded the National Rural Governance Model Village.
