Reporter Sun Xiankai and correspondent Li Jiabing report that the "Qilu Style No. 5 Road" in Wulian County follows the mountain trend and takes advantage of the mountain scenery to develop into a tourist road, a road to prosperity, and a road to happiness in the eastern part of the local area.
Long picture|Count reading the five lotus "mountain opera" new song □ Sun Xiankai and Li Shenghao, reporters of this newspaper Wu Baoshu Zhao HongjieThis year's cherry picking season is coming to an end. The 43 winter warm-style greenhouses in the "Fruit Tree Base Camp" planting base in Hubu Township, Wulian County, harvested 210,000 jin of large cherries, plus the picking tours and homestay tours that became popular in the surrounding areas, and the base achieved an income of 12.6 million yuan. Relying on the good ecological environment and the development of cultural tourism industry, the annual output value of Wulian cherry, a national geographical indication protected product, has increased to 303 million yuan.
There are 3,000 three mountains in the mountains of the mountains, mountains in the mountains, and three thousand three mountains in the five lotuses. Wulian County, named for its mountains, accounts for 86% of the mountainous and hilly area, and the forest coverage rate of the county is 31.45%, ranking seventh in the province, 7.33 percentage points higher than the national average and 17.29 percentage points higher than the provincial average. Ecology is a bright business card and the biggest development advantage. According to the accounting results of Wulian County's gross ecosystem product (GEP) released recently, Wulian GEP in 2021 was 29.296 billion yuan, which is 1.38 times of GDP.
In the practice of promoting the model practice of rural revitalization in Qilu, how to leverage ecology, the support point of rural revitalization, and transform green appearance into golden value?
The answer has yielded results in the search - over the years, several leadership groups of Wulian County have firmly grasped the strategy of giving priority to ecological development, insisted on "singing mountain opera" and "walking mountain roads", continued to plant ecological background, developed new business formats such as "beautiful countryside + agriculture, culture, tourism", and activated the ecological economy with green development.
From "selling products" to "selling scenery""The full name of our Fuyuan Tea Farm is 'Fuyuan Chun-Chaohai Dongtian Ecological Park', which is also a national 3A-level tourist attraction." On May 9, Huang Qingfu took reporters into an ecological tea farm combining forest tea.
Located in Wulian County, the Fuyuan Tea Farm has a total area of 3,000 mu, but only 1,200 mu of tea trees, and the rest are planted with cedar, cypress and other seedlings, more than 500 kinds of plants, more than 1 million trees to form a green ecological shelter forest with high and low staggered green, high, low and staggered green ecological shelter forests, separating tea gardens of different sizes.
There are flowers in three seasons and evergreen in all seasons, and the reporter met Huang Qingfu, the person in charge of the tea farm, in this "botanical garden". Speaking of the difference of ecological tea farms, he opened the chatterbox: tea plants like temperature and cold, wintering and cold prevention is always a big problem, shelter forests reduce wind speed and play a good role as a barrier; The forest coverage is high, there are many kinds of birds, and it can also achieve the effect of biological insect control.
The ecological tea farm has a large investment and slow results, but after many years of perseverance, Huang Qingfu has tasted the sweetness: the average annual benefit of tea gardens planted by ordinary farmers is about 10,000 yuan per mu, and the benefit of Fuyuan tea farm is 30,000-50,000 yuan, and the output value will reach more than 20 million yuan in 2022, and it is expected to be more than 40 million yuan this year. Last year, in order to promote the quality and high-end development of green tea, Rizhao established the Rizhao Green Tea Selection Alliance, and 10 industry benchmark enterprises became the first batch of alliance tea enterprises, and Fuyuan Tea Farm was shortlisted with the first place.
The creation of a small ecology of Fuyuan Tea Farm also benefits from the continuous improvement of the entire large ecosystem of Wulian. In addition to tea, there are also many local specialty agricultural products such as cherries, blueberries and yellow peaches.
"Taking industrial ecology as the direction of agricultural development, the county's forest and fruit area has reached 503,000 mu, the total area of fruit trees is 278,000 mu, and the output value of green and organic agricultural products accounts for more than 30% respectively." Xu Guiliang, director of the Wulian County Agriculture and Rural Bureau, said that in order to gather the strength of ecological agriculture development, the county has vigorously promoted the party branch to lead the cooperative, exploring various models such as land shareholding, fruit tree shareholding, rural tourism shareholding, etc., and the number of cooperatives led by party branches has reached 627, achieving full coverage of administrative villages.
Forest fruit resources have risen, ecological standards have been improved, and the cultivation of new formats has the confidence. In Doujiataizi village, surrounded by mountains in Songbai Town, cars now line up at the entrance of the village every weekend.
Behind the explosion of popularity, there is a good story of three village branch secretaries "singing a mountain song together" and relaying the "triple jump" of the industry: More than 40 years ago, in order to change the poor and backward appearance, Han Chongzhuan, the then village branch secretary, led the villagers to reclaim the barren mountains and plant small country light apples. In 1991, the small country light market was affected by foreign red Fuji varieties, when Chen Weijiang, who had just taken over as the village branch secretary, went to Yantai to learn the big cherry planting technology and introduce cherry tree species, and the large cherry planting area in the village gradually expanded to more than 1700 mu. In previous years, there was an endless stream of tourists who came to the village every summer to pick them, but Han Yugao, the village secretary, found that they always worried about finding places to eat and stay - the original living environment in the countryside could not meet the demand.
Han Yugao changed his development thinking from "selling products" to "selling scenery": the village established a rural tourism development co., LTD., highlighting the rural life atmosphere of old houses with stone walls, ancient flowers and fruits, and small bridges and flowing water, and uniformly planned and built 8 farmhouses, 12 high-standard homestays, and more than 20 boutique picking gardens, so that tourists could eat farmhouse banquets and live in farmhouses, and the village's collective income increased to 1.5 million yuan.
While the new format is making breakthroughs in points, Wulian is also trying new methods in continuous planning and continuous development. In the southeast of the county, on the bank of the Chaobai River not far from Wulian Mountain, there were many barren mountains in the past, and the development foundation was poor. However, with the completion of the upstream Longtangou Reservoir and the completion of the transformation of the Chaobai River, this area has a good ecological background and great development potential.
"We came for the good ecology of the five lotuses." Xu Qunde, chairman of Shandong Bailuwan Co., Ltd., said. The company circulates land in 9 surrounding villages, closely follows the cutting-edge trend of "revitalizing the countryside with art", hires a number of world-renowned designers to plan and build 12 art museums with different characteristics, integrating natural ecology with architecture, art and life, and creating an international standard art museum town on the bank of Chaobai River, attracting nearly 30,000 tourists every day during this year's "May Day" holiday.
The effect of deep integration of ecology and tourism has been shown: more than 80% of the forest and water projects in Wulian County are integrated into picking tours, homestay tours, sports, etc., and the county receives nearly 10 million tourists every year, and has been successfully selected as a national ecological civilization construction demonstration zone and the first batch of provincial "green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains" practice innovation base.
The reporter wrote about his feelings: To revitalize rural areas, we must make efforts in industrial ecology and ecological industrialization. In accordance with the requirements of green, circular and low-carbon development, Wulian carries out ecological transformation of the production mode and industrial structure of traditional industries, cultivates the "green heritage" of rural revitalization, and on the basis of ensuring that the ecosystem function is not destroyed, carries out industrialized development and operation of green waters and green mountains, extends the industrial chain and value chain, and stimulates the "green kinetic energy" of rural revitalization.
Original taste has its own "high value"Green mountains and trees, white walls and red tiles, gurgling water... During the summer season, drive along the "Qilu Style No. 5 Road" in Wulian County to the depths of the mountains, full of beautiful scenery and scenery everywhere. This "four good" rural road with a total length of about 64 kilometers not only connects tourist attractions such as Wulian Mountain and Jiuxian Mountain, but also beads a number of characteristic folk villages such as Dongjialou and Doujiataizi, as well as farmhouses, picking gardens, and more than 30 boutique guesthouses.
After turning around, he came to Dongjialou Village in Pingguan Town. At the entrance of the village, on the shore of the lake, 6 simple and elegant "Beishan Rural Residence" homestays are integrated with the green water and green mountains, and the parking lot area at the entrance is parked with tourist vehicles with license plates from Qingdao, Weifang and other places.
The road was repaired to the entrance of the village, the smelly water turned into a clear pool, every house was connected to running water, the toilet was installed with a flusher, the sewage was uniformly purified, and the appearance of the village was greatly improved. Speaking of the changes in the village in recent years, Zhang Zuojin, a 65-year-old villager who has lived in the village for most of his life, said: "The current living conditions have the quality of the city, the environment has the taste of the countryside, and even the tourists who come to the city are a little envious." ”
Walking five lotus, everywhere is a "high-value" rural living environment, many people will have a question: Wulian is a mountainous county with 86% of the mountains and hills, and it is a small financial county, how to improve the rural living environment?
The answer given by Wulian is: do not engage in large-scale demolition and construction, nor rely only on the "hot head" of the party committee and government, but maintain the traditional characteristics of the village to the greatest extent, mobilize the participation of the whole people, and spend small money to do big things.
Walking into Hongniya Village, Hongning Street, under Daqing Mountain, a two-way four-lane asphalt road leads directly to the village, and tall French trees are lined on both sides. The alleys connected to the main road are paved with permeable granite slabs of different sizes and shapes, complementing the quaint villages.
"The roadway hardening is made of stone waste left over from the previous development of granite on the mountain, and the village collective basically did not spend much money, so they took the people to do it." Zhang Shouying, secretary of the village party branch, said.
Original, adapted to local conditions, not to make do, but to maintain traditional characteristics under existing conditions, to find the best solution. Zhang Shouying counted the three major benefits of permeable paving: digesting and using the tailings produced by the stone industry to solve the solid waste; Permeable to water and air, the style of the alley is integrated with the village residence; Subsequent projects such as the penetration of rainwater diversion pipelines into the ground have saved excavation and road restoration costs.
Wulian County's "alleys and lanes" concentrated campaign has been carried out for four consecutive years, with the capital investment mainly in the county finance, the city rewarding a little, the township (street) taking out a little, and the village raising or donating a little. "The roadway is paved according to the standard of 2 meters wide, and the reward is 40 yuan per square meter, and one meter is made up for one meter. For the masses who take local materials, pave by themselves and meet the requirements, the bonus funds are directly distributed to the households. Zhang Yonghua, member of the party group of the Wulian County Transportation Bureau and director of the Railway and Highway Development Center, said that the policy must be unchanged for 4 years and written into the government work report. In recent years, the county has carried out the "all-region" beautiful village, "all-region" beautiful road, "all-region" beautiful water, "all-region" beautiful water, "all-region" beautiful home "four beauty" projects, built 100 rural roads and 175 kilometers of rural roads that resemble "flowing landscapes", 410 beautiful villages at the provincial and municipal levels, accounting for 2/3 of the total number of villages, and more than 50% of the villages in the county have realized centralized treatment of rural sewage.
The reporter's reflection: ecological livability is the proper meaning of beautiful countryside in the new era. Based on the characteristics of the mountainous area, Wulian does not seek to be "tall", nor does it build a high-rise building to move a new home, but retains the true color of the countryside, whether it is the layout and improvement of the village environment, or the landscape creation behind the front house of the villagers, according to the wishes of the people. Pastoral parks and villages have become scenic spots, laying a solid foundation for the new format of "beautiful countryside+".
"Mountain opera" is sung, one stubble after anotherThe "Chronicle of Wulian County" records that the Laoshan branch runs through the entire territory of Wulian County from northeast to southwest, and the residual vein of Taiyi Mountain extends from west to the territory. Bounded by Provincial Highway 222, the landforms of Liandong and Lianxi are very different.
To the west, out of Wulian County, there are no tall mountains and dense forests in Liandong, and low hills spread. It belongs to a typical transverse slate landform, with many barren mountains, bare rocks, and water-scarce soil, and the soil layer is less than 20 cm. The locals joked that Guan Shuai (a township in Lianxi before the merger of townships) had not yet flown to the county seat, and he had died of lack of trees to roost.
"In the past, Liandong's cadres went to the mountains to protect forests and prevent fires on holidays, and we had no mountains and forests, so we could take vacations with peace of mind. Now with such a dense forest, I have to turn the mountains every day during holidays. When interviewed by reporters, Lianxi cadres said half-jokingly.
In order to make up for the last ecological shortcoming in the county, Wulian launched the "Breakthrough Lotus West" project a few years ago, innovated the mode of state-owned enterprises to intervene in leveraging social capital investment, and completed the greening of more than 20,000 mu of barren mountains in one fell swoop, completely changing the past phenomenon of "afforestation every year without seeing forests, planting fruits every year without seeing fruits".
"We crushed the transverse slate with machinery, turned it deep on the spot, backfilled it with urban building residue, and finally planted trees on it, planting 3,000 mu of ecological forest and 2,000 mu of yellow peach economic forest." Liu Zhaobin, head of Wulian Hongfeng Horticultural Co., Ltd., pointed to the dense ecological forest and recalled the scene at that time. After several years of efforts, the greening rate of trees in Lianxi area has increased from 18% to 50%, and more than 20 forest and fruit areas of more than 1,000 mu and 367 cooperatives have been developed.
Although Lianxi has a thin soil layer, it is very suitable for yellow peach cultivation. Under the initiative of the township party committee and government, Li Huazhen, secretary of the party branch of Lijiayao Village in Yuli Town, contracted 4,000 mu of mountain land and hired experts to guide the planting of yellow peaches. "The soil of the transverse slate landscape is rich in phosphorus and calcium, and the yellow peaches grown taste good." Li Huazhen said that in the second year after planting, she harvested more than 600,000 kilograms of yellow peaches and more than 30,000 kilograms of oil peaches.
The persistent pursuit of green development, from agriculture "penetration" to industry. Wulian has a rapid promotion meeting of green development projects, which is chaired by the main leaders of the county party committee from time to time, and the projects studied and approved at the meeting must be fully supported by all departments for rapid implementation. However, the premise is that before the meeting, environmental protection, industry and information technology, development and reform departments must strictly block the "green threshold" to block projects that should not be on the meeting.
"Rizhao's energy consumption per unit of GDP is 1.28 tons of standard coal/10,000 yuan, which is lower than the provincial average, while Wulian is only 0.41 tons of standard coal/10,000 yuan. When we review projects, everything above that number blocks it. Chen Jian, a member of the party group of the Wulian County Development and Reform Bureau and director of the Regional Integration Development Service Center, said that in recent years, Wulian has rejected nearly 40 projects with environmental risks with a total investment of more than 18 billion yuan.
Under the pressure of strict standards, since 2019, 80% of the nearly 20 projects attracted by Wulian City North Industrial Park have been declared high-tech enterprises. The output value of high-tech industries in the county accounts for 58% of the total industrial output value above the plan, and the number of "specialized, specialized and new" small and medium-sized enterprises has increased to 84, and the number of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises has reached 106.
Green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains. Last year, Wulian signed a horizontal ecological compensation agreement for transboundary river basins with neighboring counties and cities – as an upstream, five cross-county major rivers will receive ecological compensation if the water quality categories of the transboundary sections of the main rivers across counties are better than the target of the agreement; Worse than the agreed target, Wulian will compensate downstream. "Thanks to the continuous improvement of the ecology, Wulian received 37.5 million yuan in ecological compensation funds last year, ranking among the top counties in the province." Li Zhengguo, member of the party group and deputy director of the Wulian County Branch of the Rizhao Ecological and Environmental Bureau, said that Wulian is a small financial county, but the county decided that all the funds obtained would "feed" the improvement of ecological construction, and not a single cent was diverted for other purposes.
The reporter wrote about his feelings: Ecology is the root and soul of the development of the Five Lotuses. A good ecology is not a one-day effort, nor a generation. From planting trees and fruits in the 50s of last century, building water conservancy in the 60s, soil management in the 70s, diversified management in the 80s, comprehensive development of mountainous areas in the 90s, and then rebuilding the "five lotuses on the mountain" in the new century and transforming ecological values in the new era, the successive county leadership groups of Wulian have never deviated from the path of green development, and have continued to "sing mountain opera" one after another, ushering in the golden period of ecological economic development, which is also the biggest enlightenment given to us by the experience of Wulian.
