At the beginning of the new year, with the first rays of sunshine in 2022, Lanyan Village, located in Liutang Town, Lingui District, Guilin City, has turned a new page——
The crystal clear river flows around the village, the fish and shrimp in the water are full of fun; the antique stone arch bridge has become a "net red attraction", and many tourists come to visit; the outer wall of the farmhouse with white walls and green tiles and cornices is hung with festive red peppers, which means that the new year is red and hot. It is the New Year's Day holiday, the "farmhouse" in the village is almost full, the tourists are endless, and the villagers are busy with smiles on their faces...
"Rural revitalization has made our village beautiful, and the development of the industry has made us realize the beauty of the village and the prosperity of the people!" The village party secretary said that the secret behind the villagers' smiling faces was broken.
——This is a microcosm of Guilin's efforts to implement the strategy of rural revitalization and vigorously promote the improvement of rural style and the improvement of rural living environment.
Since the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, Guilin has thoroughly implemented the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the Autonomous Regional Party Committee and Government, vigorously promoted the upgrading of the agricultural industry, improved the rural living environment, and helped farmers continue to increase their income. Especially since 2021, in the journey of building a world-class tourist city, Guilin has actively explored the "Guilin Path" of rural revitalization, and a rural beauty of thriving industry, ecological livability, rural civilization, effective governance and affluent life is slowly unfolding in the landscape of Guilin.
Keeping in mind the general secretary's entrustment, out of the "Guilin path" of rural revitalization
In April 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to The Natural Village of Maozhushan in Caiwan Town, Quanzhou County, Guilin to investigate and investigate the rural revitalization work. When he learned that Maozhushan Village relied on grape cultivation to get rich and live a happy life, General Secretary Xi Jinping was very pleased. He said affectionately that making people live happily is "the greatest of the country." The depth, breadth and difficulty of comprehensively promoting rural revitalization are no less than those of poverty alleviation, and we must not have any idea of taking a breath and resting our feet, but we must continue to struggle at a new starting point and promote the common prosperity of all the people to achieve more obvious substantive progress. He stressed that to comprehensively promote rural revitalization, it is necessary to base ourselves on characteristic resources, adhere to the principle of rejuvenating agriculture through science and technology, develop new industries and new formats such as rural tourism and leisure agriculture according to local conditions, integrate production and marketing, integrate agricultural culture and tourism, promote the development and growth of rural industries, and let farmers share more of the value-added benefits of the industry.
General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech pinned on the care for the people of Guilin to live a happy life, and also pointed out a clear direction for Guilin to further promote the strategy of rural revitalization.
From poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, how to effectively connect? This is an important issue at this stage. Since 2021, Guilin has repeatedly held the city's efforts to consolidate and expand the achievements of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, and actively explore and practice the "convergence path" with Guilin characteristics.
Zhou Jiabin, secretary of the municipal party committee, stressed: "It is necessary to effectively change from focusing on 'poverty alleviation' to focusing on 'development', take rural revitalization as an important basis for building a world-class tourist city, highlight urban and rural co-ordination, industry first, environmental improvement, people-oriented and sustainable development, promote high-quality and efficient agriculture, livable and workable in rural areas, and rich and prosperous farmers, and strive to build Guilin's countryside into a large scenic spot and form a new pattern of comprehensive rural revitalization." ”
New drawings are drawn with large brushes, and the countryside is new every day. Nowadays, with the new journey of rural revitalization in the landscape of Guilin, from the careful deployment of the municipal party committee and municipal government, to the active promotion of various departments, to the struggle and exploration of the grass-roots masses, the city has stepped out of the "Guilin path" of rural revitalization step by step.
Industry-led, green pastoral singing "endeavor song"
In November 2021, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs released the "2021 National Rural Characteristic Industry Billion Yuan Town Billion Yuan Village Announcement List", and two towns in Guilin were shortlisted for the national rural characteristic industry billion yuan town, and four villages were shortlisted for the national rural characteristic industry billion yuan village. It is reported that the billion yuan town and 100 million yuan village selected by the city this time are the first in the number of selected towns in the whole district.

The key to rural revitalization is industrial revitalization. The development of characteristic industries has always been the main way and starting point for poverty alleviation, and it is also one of the important contents of the Guilin Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government to carry out poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.
In recent years, on the basis of comprehensively promoting the strategy of rural revitalization, the city has continuously expanded 6 industrial clusters of more than 10 billion yuan such as grain, citrus, characteristic fruits, vegetables, Chinese herbal medicines, and high-quality livestock, promoted the development of agricultural industrialization, scale and agglomeration, and successively emerged 40 autonomous region-level modern characteristic agriculture (core) demonstration areas, 4 advantageous areas for agricultural products with Chinese characteristics, and 21 national "one village and one product" demonstration villages and towns, all of which are the first in the region.
All parts of the city have actively explored and broken out many new ways of industrial innovation and development. At present, Guilin City has basically formed an industrial pattern in which each county (city, district) has one or two leading fruits or "one township and one product" and "one village and one product", and a number of fruit-producing counties and fruit professional villages with obvious characteristics have emerged, such as Lipu sand sugar orange, Gongcheng moon persimmon, Yangshuo kumquat, Xing'an grape, resource red tip, and Guanyang black plum.
Not only that, the city also actively uses the advantages of building a world-class tourist city, taking the construction of 22 pastoral complexes as the carrier, developing rural tourism, leisure agriculture and other industries according to local conditions, connecting production and marketing, integrating agricultural culture and tourism, and promoting the development and growth of rural industries. According to statistics, a total of 6 counties in our city have won the title of national leisure agriculture and rural tourism demonstration counties, 6 villages have won the title of China's beautiful leisure villages, and Guilin Rural Leisure Four Seasons Tour has become one of the first ten boutique routes in the country.
Inside and outside, the beautiful scenery of the landscape is engraved with "nostalgia poems"
Green brick tiles, flying eaves and angles, rich in the design and decoration of guibei residential characteristics, make the simple farmhouses come to life; restore ancient houses, build village history museums, excavate the story of civilized rural customs, and one by one the actions of "walking the heart" highlight the profound connotation of beautiful countryside...
The implementation of the improvement of rural style and the improvement of rural living environment is the basis for in-depth promotion of rural revitalization. In recent years, the city has taken the implementation of the rural style improvement action as a powerful starting point for accelerating the revitalization of the countryside, formed a work pattern of "municipal overall planning, linkage between the upper and lower levels, and joint management", clarified the timetable, road map, and mission statement for the improvement of rural style, built a work system with strong command, efficient work, and orderly arrangement, and connected the dots into pieces with "a game of chess" to create and improve the rural style, and promoted the countryside from "one beauty" to "global beauty". Up to now, the city has completed the environmental improvement of nearly 400 villages along the "two highs" and the transformation of more than 30,000 farmhouses, focusing on the demonstration routes represented by the "Yongfu-Lingui-Yangshuo Expressway", "Guiyang Highway Section of 321 National Highway" and "Jeonju Red Army Avenue", as well as demonstration areas such as the Damei Li River and Jiuqu Longxi, forming a situation of "fine products on the point, scenery on the line, and image on the surface".
The rural scenery has been raised, and the new wind of civilization must also be planted. In the work of in-depth promotion of rural revitalization and rural style improvement, Guilin City, while paying attention to improving the "appearance" of rural areas, also pays attention to the construction of rural style civilization and enhances the inherent temperament of villages: not only digs deep into the cultural connotations of various places and integrates into the project of style improvement and transformation, but also builds a number of cultural, entertainment, leisure and sports venues, establishes villagers' councils, and formulates village rules and regulations to enhance the spirit of rural construction.
Not only that, the city also combines the actual conditions of various places, takes the initiative to excavate the connotation of rural culture, highlights its own characteristics, tells local stories well, and highlights the profound heritage behind the charming countryside. Such as the red culture of Caiwan Town in Jeonju, the Zhuang culture and lion dance culture in Gaotian Town, Yangshuo, the incorruptible culture in Lingchuan Jiangtou Village, the cockfighting culture in Lingui Lanyan Village and the Fushou culture in Yongfu... These cultures are deeply excavated and skillfully integrated into various projects of rural transformation. The excavation and improvement of rural culture has retained the rural cultural heritage and nostalgic memory, enhanced the inner temperament of the village, and also condensed the powerful joint force of building a beautiful home.
Now, 2022 has arrived. Guilin is striving to build a world-class tourist city in a new journey. In the fields full of hope in Guilin, the inspiring "pastoral pastoral songs" are still echoing, and the charming villages between the mountains and rivers are stepping out of the sonorous pace of advancing with the times!
