Railway Town Promotes Rural Tourism, National Railway Poverty Alleviation In Luanchuan

A total of 73.53 million yuan has been invested to implement 97 poverty alleviation projects, and 19 temporary cadres, first secretary and village cadres have been dispatched. By the end of 2019, all 83 poverty-stricken villages have been lifted out of poverty, and the poverty-stricken population has been reduced from 39931 to 902, and the poverty incidence rate has decreased from 12.34% in 2013 to 0.306%.

A string of figures shows the State Railway Group's poverty alleviation investment in Luanchuan County; a string of figures also witness the changes in Luanchuan County, a poverty-stricken mountainous area.

"Four rivers, three mountains, two rivers and two rivers, nine mountains and half water and half fields" is exactly Luanchuan. There are 213 administrative villages in 2477 square kilometers of land. Among the 350000 people, the agricultural population accounts for 86.57%, and the per capita cultivated land area is less than 0.6 mu. In 2010, Luanchuan was listed as the key county of poverty alleviation and development in Qinba mountain area by the State Council.

But change is happening quietly here. Xinnancun village branch secretary Dynasty said that now the development of tourism, open farmyard, people can earn money at home without going out; poverty alleviation cadre Zheng Xingsheng said that persimmons could not be preserved before, but now there is a frozen warehouse aided by the national railway, which can produce persimmon vinegar for a year; Wu Jinbao, a villager in Hujia village of Tantou Town, who was impoverished due to disability, said that the car was also bought, so people in the family could take care of them without going out to work 。

Talking about the changes after Luanchuan's poverty alleviation, Zhou shengzhan, deputy county chief of the State Railway Group's post in Luanchuan County, said that this really shows that green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. He also said that the hardships behind this also verified that happiness is a struggle.

rural tourism

After entering Xinnan village, you can see several two-story buildings with white walls and grey eaves. In front of the door, there are dozens of flowerpots, and cockscomb flowers are in full bloom. In front of the small building, two green carriages pulled by the blue locomotive head are sitting quietly on the Bank of Yishui.

This is the railway town of Luanchuan county. Since 2018, China Railway Group has donated 1 locomotive, 2 cars and signal machines, rails, wheel cakes, sleepers and other railway scrapped materials and equipment, and built a coffee shop and other train themed landscapes in Xinnan village.

"In the past, it was a rotten beach with inconvenient transportation and no rich industry." Luoyang Locomotive Depot in Xinnan village poverty alleviation cadre Wang Yanhui said. Without resources, resources will be created. After investigation, the State Railway Group decided to implement the railway town project relying on the resources of nearby chongdugou and other A-level scenic spots, so as to build Xinnan and Wangping villages into a comprehensive rural tourism resort integrating characteristic theme catering and accommodation. Data shows that since its operation in 2019, it has attracted more than 100000 tourists. During the May Day and Dragon Boat Festival, the number of tourists even exceeded some scenic spots.

The introduction of passenger flow has brought opportunities for Xinnan village to become rich. "Lodging, selling rice, selling drinks, selling local products, a family can earn up to 4000 yuan a day." Xinnancun village branch secretary Dynasty introduced that before the per capita income was less than 3000 yuan, but now per capita income is more than 11000 yuan, which has increased several times in two or three years. Wang Yanhui also mentioned that in August alone, the revenue of train Cafe reached more than 10000.

In fact, Xinnan village's path of getting rich is not an isolated case. Many villages in Luanchuan county take the development of rural tourism as the starting point to generate income. Dawangmiao village has successfully applied for the development and protection of state-level ancient villages, with 3 characteristic quadrangles and 8 leisure farmers meeting the reception requirements; Xiexin village, relying on Luanchuan grand canyon rafting and built 10 km mountain bike riding road and other "tourism + sports" projects, focuses on developing rural tourism characterized by sports, leisure and health preservation, and develops 44 farmhouse hotels Based on the advantages of numerous traditional dwellings and beautiful mountains and forests, poyunling village has introduced "lingshangjia" characteristic B & B and "slow house · 13 month" high-end boutique B & B; on the other hand, it encourages villagers to rebuild their own houses, and has developed two quadrangles and 12 farmhouse hotels.

According to the data provided by the State Railway Group, since 2012, 23 group B & B hotels and 237 farmhouse hotels have been renovated, covering 63 villages in 15 towns and townships of Luanchuan County, driving more than 300 poor households to participate in rural tourism, and the average income of poor households has increased by 15000 yuan.

It wasn't easy. "95% of my work is ideological work." Wang Yanhui said frankly that villagers' suspicion, fear and incomprehension, and even changed their minds the day before and the next day, which is the biggest difficulty facing the work. Wang Yanhui got the title of "railway Secretary" for his efforts. The villagers also gradually saw the "money path". From six to 89, more and more villagers began to work in farmhouse hotels.

Poverty alleviation should first support the will, and poverty alleviation should first support wisdom. Solve the ideological problems, technical problems become the next key direction, the county through regular cooking training and other ways to improve the service level. The current director of the Village Association of Xia, who is in charge of the first village, often sets up a policy-making system of the provincial government In addition, the reporter also noted that Luanchuan County unified for the rural hotel star standard, which is innovative in the field of rural tourism.

Turning waste into treasure

A correct guide is needed to turn green waters and green mountains into golden mountains and silver mountains. With the help of the project of National Railway Group, Machaoying village in Luanchuan county has turned persimmon vinegar which can only rot in tree tops all over the mountains and fields into persimmon vinegar that can bring economic benefits. In 2018, the State Railway Group invested 1 million yuan and the enterprises and the government raised 3.5 million yuan by themselves to build an ecological persimmon vinegar workshop in Machaoying village, creating an agricultural products deep processing platform integrating persimmon vinegar brewing, persimmon deep processing and persimmon fresh fruit storage. In 2019, the State Railway Group invested 1.05 million yuan to build a new 390 square meter fresh-keeping warehouse. "With the cold storage, we have broken the seasonal restrictions on persimmon, and now we can produce persimmon vinegar all the year round." Luoyang railway station in shizimiao village poverty alleviation cadre Zheng Xingsheng said.

Taking "collective economy + cooperatives + companies + farmers" as the main operation mode, taking advantage of the reform of rural collective economic property rights system and land circulation system, with the help of the State Railway Group, the village turned waste into treasure and developed industrial economy.

Chen Xianpeng, a woman director who married into boyanling village, also told reporters the story of the village's industrial development. She said that when she first married into the village 18 years ago, there was only a wooden suspension bridge across the river. As soon as it rained, the 1.5-meter dirt road would be muddy and difficult to walk. A few acres of land on the mountain could only earn a few hundred yuan. Now "the biggest change is that the infrastructure is better and the village has its own industrial projects.".

Free seedlings and subsidies of 300 pieces of land per mu were provided by the village collective. In 2012, when planting walnuts, boyanling village established the Tongfu planting professional cooperative in Luanchuan county to create the brand of "poyunling Alpine walnut" and realize unified planting, management and sales. After that, it intercropped medicinal Peony under the walnut tree, the epidermis was used as medicine, and the seeds could be pressed for oil, which could obtain two benefits. Wang Yongjian, a poverty alleviation cadre stationed in poyunling village of Luoyang Locomotive Depot, also showed the new walnut oil products made by supercritical oil pressing technology in cooperation with Beijing Laboratory.

According to statistics, at present, the annual output of green walnut and oil peony seed in poyunling village is about 150 tons, and the average household income is about 4000 yuan, and the collective economic income can reach more than 200000 yuan. "In the village, you don't get married by the river, but you don't get married." This ballad about poyunling village 20 years ago has also become history. It can only be recorded in the village history museum, comparing how fruitful the achievements are today.

The reporter also noted that the neglected agricultural and sideline products not only extend the industrial chain through scale and standardization, but also expand multiple channels at the sales level. In addition to production cooperation with enterprises under the collective leadership of villages, some villages have begun to explore e-commerce sales. At the same time, with the development of rural tourism, villagers can also sell agricultural and sideline products to tourists directly. According to Xie Degang, director of the Industrial Office of Tantou Town, 80.9% of the fresh fruits are digested by tourists.

Multiple assistance

"Some villagers do not want to go out, especially women. They prefer to have a hard life, but feel that they can be steadfast only when they stay at home." Zheng Xingsheng, a poverty relief cadre, said. The reporter also found that rural residents in Luanchuan county mainly work outside, and women and the elderly stay at home. Before, the villagers planted corn.

With the advancement of industrial poverty alleviation, this phenomenon of living on a few acres of thin farmland has changed. In Xiexin village's three-dimensional ecological agricultural industrial park, Niu Tai, an old man who has just been out of poverty, said that in the past, they used to go out to work. Now, my husband and wife are leading their grandchildren at home, planting Gastrodia elata, Lilium and other medicinal materials. In the leisure time, they can go out and continue to work.

In front of the exhibition platform of the characteristic quadrangle in dawangmiao village, the reporter met Wu Jinbao, a poor farmer selling pears and winter peaches. Because both parents were disabled, Wu Jinbao and his wife couldn't go out to work because of their two children, five and three. But now the development of orchard economy, four or five Mu orchard a year can earn 340000. Speaking of his current life, Wu Jinbao said with a smile: "now that the quality of life has improved, you don't have to go out to work. You can take care of your family and buy a car."

It is not only the local idle labor resources have been developed, but also the migrant workers have moved to go back home and start a business. Hu Xianwu, a poverty-stricken farmer in Hujia village, used to work outside for a long time, but now he has chosen to go back to his hometown to develop orchards, earning more than he used to.

The development of rural tourism has also created some job opportunities. Qiao Ling, a villager in Xinnan village, has set up a farmyard with the support of the State Railway Group. Her husband went abroad to work, he did odd jobs in the county, and earned hundreds of yuan a month. However, after running the farmyard in 2018, the income reached 120000 in two months. Despite the impact of the epidemic this year, it has also earned more than 40000 yuan since May 1. Qiao Ling said, "I'm busy at home alone, but I feel very happy. If I'm not a big boss, I'll be a small boss."

Wu Jinbao, Qiao Ling and others are the epitome of the whole rural labor resources being revitalized. When the outward world is opened, some people get more development opportunities, while others bet their future on potential opportunities. Qiao Ling said that she planned to let her son learn how to cook, so that she could come back to run farmhouse. Hu Xiaohui usually helps his mother to take care of the Farmhouse Hotel. Affected, he applied for the hotel management major of Zhengzhou Tourism Vocational College this year.

According to the statistics of the State Railway Group, since 2012, more than 500 poor people have been trained and more than 30 rich leaders have been attracted to return home to start their own businesses. Since 2019 alone, the 25 collective industrial projects implemented by railway assistance have provided 332 jobs.

From small to large, poverty alleviation changes not only every individual, but also the whole countryside. "Brain drain is indeed a negative factor for rural development." Tan tou town industry office director Xie Degang told reporters that the next step is to make the local industry bigger and attract more young people back.
