The charm of winter begins with ice and snow, and the long snow period is the advantage of Xinjiang's development of ice and snow economy. Xinjiang attaches great importance to the development of the ice and snow industry, in order to promote more high-quality cultural and tourism products to "go out" and let tourists from all over the country have a deep understanding of Xinjiang's winter tourism resources, in 2019, it clearly put forward the development goal of "making Xinjiang a world-famous ice and snow sports paradise".

I didn't expect to catch up with the ice and snow feast this time, which made me especially excited! "Tourist Qin Mangyuan stepped on a snowboard and galloped through the ice and snow world.
Located in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, the Altay region is rich in alpine forms and is one of the regions with the best conditions for the development of ice and snow tourism in China. Located in Fuyun County, Altay Region, the Cocoto Sea International Ski Resort has a snowy period of up to 7 months. The Altay region seized this favorable condition, on the one hand, to increase capital investment and improve hardware facilities; on the other hand, to continuously improve the level of service. In recent years, Fuyun County has vigorously implemented infrastructure upgrading projects, and by 2021, it has invested 1.04 billion yuan in various types of tourism infrastructure and built the Cocoto Sea International Ski Resort with the largest altitude difference in China.

Create a green brand "Xinjiang brand" characteristic agricultural products to form a new growth pole
The noodles, the crispy grilled buns, the sour and cool skin... In The village of Waizhanzi in Bandugou Town, Qitai County, Xinjiang's specialty noodles make tourists from afar praise.
In accordance with the development concept of "global green, partially organic", Waizhanzi Village has formed a green industrial chain such as green organic crop planting, green organic flour and organic handmade noodle processing and sales, and rural global tourism, and embarked on a road of integrated development with green as the background and the integration of one, two and three industries.

Qitai County, where The village of Waizhanzi is located, is a national high-quality wheat production base county. On July 25, 2021, the yield of winter wheat in Qitai County reached 858.72 kg per mu, once again setting a new record for the highest yield of wheat per mu in Xinjiang. As one of the representatives of wheat products in Xinjiang, the high-quality "Qitai Flour" is also a geographical indication product of the national flour category.

With years of unremitting efforts, a number of local flour processing plants, flour products enterprises, packaging and logistics enterprises have achieved large-scale planting, standardized production and agglomeration development, forming a complete industrial chain from upstream to terminal.
Qitai County is just a silhouette of the development of the entire grain industry chain in Xinjiang.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Xinjiang will adhere to the principle of stabilizing grain, excellent cotton, strong fruits, rejuvenating livestock, and promoting characteristics, resolutely curb the "non-farming" of cultivated land, prevent "non-grainization", and ensure absolute grain security; promote the high-quality development of cotton, and build a national high-quality cotton and cotton yarn base. Deeply implement the quality improvement and efficiency improvement project and brand building of the forest fruit industry, increase the production of high-quality and high-end characteristic fruits, promote the integrated development of standardized production, market-oriented operation, production and marketing of the forest fruit industry; accelerate the cultivation of a number of leading enterprises in the deep processing of agricultural and sideline products, build a number of agricultural product production bases, processing and sales logistics bases, support a number of new business entities, and continuously improve the level of agricultural industrialization.

Benefiting from the unique water and soil light and heat conditions, Xinjiang's high-quality characteristic agricultural products have made the "Chinese fruit plate" filled with "Xinjiang melon and fruit".
Xinjiang's melons, fruits, cotton and other agricultural and sideline products are "self-flowing", and now, Xinjiang's forest fruit industry quality improvement and efficiency improvement project is deeply implemented, and it is expected that the rate of high-quality fruits will reach more than 80%. The "Xinjiang brand" agricultural products allow Xinjiang farmers to raise their incomes while going to the table of the people of the whole country.
In 2021, the national geographical indication product "Turpan raisins" was included in the first product list of the Sino-European Geographical Indications Agreement.
As of 2020, Turpan has built a 570,000-mu green grape production base and the country's largest raisin trading center, with an annual output of 1.2 million tons of grapes and a total grape output value of more than 1.7 billion yuan. Among them, the per capita net income of the grape industry has reached more than 5,000 yuan, and the small grapes are releasing more and more energy on the "fire island" land.
"My family has 15 acres of grape land, a loan of 200,000 yuan in 2021, improved the grape field, enriched the grape varieties, the average yield of about 1 ton of raisins per mu, can sell about 6 yuan per kilogram, in 2021 the raisins alone can sell 100,000 yuan."

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Turpan City will take the development idea of doing fine and excellent characteristic agriculture, promote the development of the grape industry from single planting to brewing, tourism and other aspects, and continuously enhance the added value of grapes.
Xue Zhilin, deputy secretary of the party group and director of the Turpan Forestry and Grassland Bureau, said: "In the future, we will strengthen investment attraction and introduce more food manufacturers in the grape processing industry. Highlight the strengthening of the wine industry and promote the high-quality development of the wine industry. Give full play to the advantages of resources and location, focus on improving the quality of grapes, and continuously promote the development of the whole grape industry chain. ”
Today, as the main production base of grapes in China, Turpan City accounts for 52.84% of the total grape production in Xinjiang and one-fifth of the country. With the continuous improvement of the "grape +" industrial development matrix, the strings of grapes in Turpan are "stringing" the happy new life of farmers, promoting green development and increasing farmers' income, helping rural revitalization, and constantly making the sweet industry of grapes constantly glow with new vitality.
As of the third quarter of 2021, the total number of regional public brands that have obtained the national geographical indication registration certification in Xinjiang has reached 265. Among them, the three geographical indication products of Korla fragrant pear, Turpan raisin and Jinghe goji berries were included in the first batch of mutual recognition and mutual protection scope of the China-EU Geographical Indications Agreement. A number of regional public brands such as Yecheng Walnut, Yingjisha Apricot, Hetian Dayun and Aksu Apple have played an important role in promoting industrial development.
During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Xinjiang will also promote the implementation of the "Opinions on Promoting the Brand Construction of Geographical Indications of Agricultural Products in the Autonomous Region from 2020 to 2025", based on Xinjiang's unique ecological environment, breeding methods, processing technology and other advantages, transform the advantages of local characteristic resources into the advantages of rural characteristic industrial development, and strive to tell the story of the "Xinjiang brand" agricultural product brand.
