Green mountains hugging water to avoid the hustle and bustle,
Dragon Waterfall Flying Flowers live in the south.
Baolong Village in Ziwu Street, Chang'an District, is located at the foot of the northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains and is built on the basis of Longyu.
Xiao Zhao, a citizen who has visited Baolong Village many times, wrote in the circle of friends: "Listening to the wind, appreciating flowers, brewing tea, brewing wine, raising your eyes to see the green mountains and green water, the green brick Dewa breeze and bright moon, not only can bear the homesickness in the dream, but also let people see the life without gap between here and the city." ”
Who can believe that four or five years ago, this was an ordinary village with slow development. In the process of implementing the rural revitalization strategy in our city, through the joint efforts of the five parties of "school-land-village-enterprise-society", Baolong Village has gradually "changed" from an ordinary village to a model village for garden village construction, and has become a popular check-in place for famous homestays in the suburbs of Xi'an.
The Doctor gave birth to the villagers
The team lights up the countryside with design planning
In late May, the reporter and his party drove to Baolong Village. After entering the village, Han Lu, a doctoral student at the Beidou Urban and Rural Planning Studio of Xi'an University of Architecture and Technology, took reporters to visit the village. A green tile on the side of the road as a "ridge", pebble old bricks as a "body", winding like a dragon low wall, integrated with the natural scenery and recognizable, attracting everyone's attention.
"This anti-collision wall is one of the projects that the villagers actively communicate with the resident planners to provide suggestions for building their own homes." The anti-collision wall Han Lu said is based on traffic safety needs, and the team and villagers use waste materials to build a low wall on the side of the village road, which can be used as a guardrail and a beautiful landscape.
"During the process of building the wall, everyone looked at it while working, and they thought that the shape looked like a dragon, and the name of the village was also called Holding Dragon Village, so everyone called this wall 'Dragon Wall'." One villager said proudly.
"Under the premise of adhering to the bottom line of Qinling ecological protection, the team explored a way for ecological protection and rural development to go hand in hand." Han Lu said that the team mainly makes overall planning for the public space of the village, and lights up the village through design and construction. In the implementation, the main "green" and "environmental protection", local materials, as far as possible use of waste materials, local materials, including this section of anti-collision wall, Baolong Village entrance sign, Baolong Square, etc., partially embellished with modern materials, highlighting the modern atmosphere. The team also converted an abandoned site where garbage was piled up into an ecologically pleasant Baolong Square, where villagers rested, chilled, listened to cicadas and smelled flowers in casual conversation.
"Liangxi Mountain Courtyard", "Yunchang Hanasu", "Country Companion Hanami"... During the visit, under the shade of green trees and green bamboo, through the flower-filled stone path, from time to time you will find a very poetic, different styles of homestay courtyard, leisurely, beautiful, not impatient, occasionally there are puppies and kittens lying comfortably in the grass in the yard, riding the shade, accompanied by the breeze, whistling and sleeping, woken up by people, but only stretched out, comfortable.
"Teacher Han, I want to do such a theme in the summer, you give it to the staff officer" "Xiao Han, the consumption coupons you helped us design are very popular..." The villagers greeted Han Lu all the way, obviously, the Beidou team and the villagers were familiar with the same village and township party.
"Professor Duan and his team are very familiar with the village. The professor often said that the people of Hokuto were not in the village, but on the way to the village. Over the years, everyone has not regarded themselves as 'outsiders', and they have been full of enthusiasm throughout the process. Han Lu said that on January 25, 2019, the Beidou team was invited to help Baolong Village, and through the five-in-one rural construction model of "investigation-planning-design-construction-operation", it is hoped that Baolong Village can become a leisure and vacation check-in place with mountains, water and stories, and a Qinling living room that appreciates "poetry and distance", effectively promoting the construction and development of Baolong Village.
The group of homestays gradually grew in size
Beautiful countryside brings "beautiful economy"
Today's Baolong Village has a livable environment, smooth roads and beautiful countryside. This change not only brings spatial improvements to the local people, but also brings them a "beautiful economy", attracting more and more homestays to settle in the village, thus driving the development of the tertiary industry in the village.
Walking, a stone road leads people into the hospital, the quaint shop name "Wangjing Bieyuan" is written on the rough stone wall, brick and stone walls, bamboo lanterns, bluestone slabs, the courtyard is ancient and poetic, nostalgic and exquisite, this homestay rebuilt on the original homestead of the villagers, retains the courtyard pattern of the traditional Guanzhong folk house, with brick and stone walls, wooden beams bearing load, tile cornices, everywhere contains traditional and simple architectural style.
Its person in charge, Fan Meili, introduced that she not only participated in the reconstruction of public facilities in Baolong Village, but also invested in the development, design, construction, operation and management of four homestays. Another homestay in Fan Mei is called "Village Companion Hanami Twilight", which is themed "flowers", dozens of shrubs and flowers are scattered, and each corner is unique.
On weekends, Ms. Zhang's family, who work in Xi'an's urban area, drove here to stay. "In the past, staying in a homestay was to eat and eat farmhouses and play in the water. Now you can also read, drink coffee, take photos and check in, the content is richer, the environment is getting better and better, the level of accommodation facilities is no different from hotels in the city, the only difference is: the interior configuration, the design appearance of the house can be completely integrated with nature, not at all contrary. Ms. Zhang said.
Behind this is the efforts of the five parties of "school-prefecture (local government)-village (village collective)-enterprise (state-owned enterprise, private enterprise)-social (social organization)" rural construction step by bit. The reporter learned that the operation mode of the village homestay is that enterprises and other investors settle in, and carry out transformation and operation by leasing village farmhouses; Secondly, individual villagers rely on the courtyard to develop the homestay, which not only beautifies the village environment, but also gradually drives the development of the village collective economy, and at the same time helps many villagers achieve "doorstep employment".
At first, some villagers did not understand, but Lao Zhishu took the lead in taking out his own house to participate in the homestay cooperation. The operation of homestays requires a stable supply of water and electricity, and the village committee actively reflects to all levels of departments to solve the problem as soon as possible. The increase in the number of homestay enterprises has brought hidden dangers such as parking difficulties and price wars for homestay enterprises, and the Meridian Street Office timely guided the village to set up a villagers' council, attract the participation of homestay managers and village sages, coordinate and prevent conflicts, and effectively resolve hidden dangers..." Wang Jian, a member of the party branch of Baolong Village, said that there are now 17 homestays in use in the village, and many are under construction.
Companionship rural construction
Embark on a model path for rural revitalization
"The planning team of the university professor has changed the appearance of the village, and their 'first perspective' planning concept has also entered our hearts, changing everyone's perception that rural revitalization requires every villager to participate in it steadily, and I have come back without hesitation."
The village's "Liangxi Mountain Courtyard" homestay, which focuses on idyllic songs, is very popular, and its person in charge, Zhao Kun, is a young man who returned to his hometown to start a homestay in Baolong Village. He said that his family and the village have given him great support and help, "Now, my two homestays are on the right track, and the homestays in the village are also recognized by more and more people, which I think is very meaningful." ”
The "first perspective" mentioned by Zhao Kun is actually the path of a set of rural construction models constructed by Professor Duan Degang's team: the whole process of accompanying rural construction mode that runs through the five-in-one "investigation-planning-design-construction-operation", which focuses on "companionship" - seeing yourself as a member of the villagers and growing up with the villagers like family.
"If rural revitalization is just to build a beautiful village, I don't think the ultimate goal is achieved, we ultimately want to achieve human revitalization." According to Professor Duan Degang, head of Beidou Urban and Rural Planning Studio, "rural revitalization is not only to develop rural industries and live in an ecological livable environment, but also to promote the all-round development of rural material civilization and spiritual civilization through effective spatial governance and social governance." ”
As the director of the Shaanxi Provincial Village and Town Construction Research Center and an expert of the think tank of the China Rural Revitalization Research Institute, Professor Duan Degang has led the Beidou Urban and Rural Studio rural construction team to rush into the village since 2019 to carry out field research, planning and design, construction and operation, etc., during which the team strives to synchronize industrial development with rural construction, always adheres to the development of the people as the main line of rural operation, and runs the construction of rural style civilization and rural governance system through the whole process of rural revitalization. Quality of life without gap" modern urban and rural development positioning.
On this basis, a doctoral team of "Rural Governance" was also set up to guide the village to work together for the sustainable development of Baolong Village. At present, with the efforts of relevant departments at all levels and the Beidou team in Chang'an District, Baolong Village has formed a rural governance system jointly built by "schools, prefectures, villages, enterprises and societies". Not long ago, the "Baolong Village Rural Construction Community" was also awarded the Snow Deer Award and Rural Construction Model of the Year.
Duan Degang said, "Rural revitalization should be adapted to local conditions, and Baolong Village has taken advantage of its good transportation location and superior natural resource endowments, and through the development of homestays as a bridge, connecting the city and the countryside, connecting demand and supply, activating rural tourism, and exploring an effective path for urban suburban villages to achieve rural revitalization." ”
