Walking into the snow village of Dunhua Laobaishan in the depths of the Linhai SnowField, rows of wooden houses hung with red lanterns and smoke in the distance seem to pull people into the fairy tale world, and this fairy tale tells the story of the transformation and development of Dunhua forest area.
Laobaishan Snow Village is located in the North Forest Farm of the Huangnihe Forestry Bureau in Jilin Province, and the annual snow accumulation period is as long as 7 months. In Snow Village, tourism has become a successor industry that is the focus of official development.
Since 2015, Jilin Province has completely banned commercial logging of natural forests. It is no longer possible to cut down trees, and a large number of forestry workers have to find another livelihood, which makes it difficult for Zhang Jianmin's family, who rely on forests to eat. The family's only source of livelihood was suddenly broken, and Zhang Jianmin, as a housewife, and her lover began to re-plan their lives.
Later, the forest farm turned into a "snow village" and started tourism, and Zhang Jianmin came to the old Baishan snow village to work. At present, the days are getting more and more prosperous, and the income of more than three thousand yuan per month has alleviated a lot of pressure on their family.
After the transformation, Zhang Jianmin contracted a string of shops in the snow village, with many customers and a very good income, which can have 60,000 or 70,000 yuan per year.
Laobaishan mountain is beautiful, the air is fresh, it is a natural green gene bank, and it has rich understory resources. After the development of tourism resources, the original humble original ecological fungus, honey, wei vegetables and other specialties in the forest area have also brought rich returns to the locals.
According to Zhang Zhi, manager of the Laobaishan branch of Huangnihe Forestry Co., Ltd., the fungus of Huangnihe is well-known in the country. In addition, honey and weeds can also be called "net red products". Wei vegetables are seasonal crops, and the income of one mu of land can reach 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, which is exported to Japan and South Korea.
Huangnihe Forestry Co., Ltd. combined with the advantages of resources research and development of the development of the laobaishan original ecological forest tourism economic belt, to promote the comprehensive transformation of the development ideas, make full use of the winter ice and snow resources of the old baishan mountain, combined with the characteristics of the forest area, folk customs characteristics, to create a unique charm of the old Baishan snow village, the formation of "eating, living, traveling, traveling, entertainment, shopping" based on the forest tourism economic industry chain, truly become "Jinshan Yinshan".
According to Zhang Zhi, in 2017, after the official establishment of the Laobaishan original ecological forest tourism, the average annual number of tourists was about 30,000 or 40,000. At the same time, it has also led to the economic development of surrounding townships.
In the next step, Huangnihe Forestry Co., Ltd. is planning a summer tourism plan to open up the four seasons of the old Baishan Snow Village.
