The morning light is gentle and the autumn breeze is refreshing, and the water is clear and the shore is green.
Take the water township.
Wandering along the Huize to Pushui Township, the new village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and tourists are bustling; Weeping willows on the embankment, flowers blooming; The river sparkles and bamboo rafts shuttle.
After Huize became an Internet celebrity check-in place with Pushui Township, more and more tourists came here to enjoy flowers, leisure and entertainment, bringing considerable economic income to the people living here.

In 2021, Huize Zhongping Street won 15.5 million yuan in Shanghai-Yunnan cooperation project funds, dredging the riverbed, road renovation, and significantly improving the living environment. With the support of Shanghai and Yunnan funds, Zhongping Street fully explores the 13-kilometer ecological resources of the Yili River Basin in the territory, and strives to build a Bund economic belt integrating nostalgic culture, leisure and tourism, health and wellness, covering two communities of Yudong and Yize, covering an area of 2,000 acres, and building a Pushui Town. In August 2023, the Bell Screen Section of the Yili River in Pushui Township was awarded the "Lvmeihe Lake" in Qujing City, and is currently applying for the "Lvmei River Lake" in Yunnan Province.
In the past, some residents in the Zhongping section of the Yili River occupied the river embankment to build various buildings (structures), planted vegetables in the river, and directly discharged domestic sewage into the river, polluting water quality and seriously reducing the flooding capacity of the river.
Tang Shiyun, a local resident, said: "In the past, the 'dirty mess' situation here was quite serious and messy."

In order to effectively protect the Yili River and completely solve the problem of "dirty and chaotic", in 2023, Huize County held a special meeting to study and decided to build a "Lvmei River Lake", carry out comprehensive treatment of the Bell Screen section of the Eli River, green and beautify the shoreline, and improve the regional water environment.
Zhu Tianguo, head of the River and Lake Management Center of the Huize County Water Bureau, said: "In the early stage of the project, we adopted measures such as publicizing policies, holding yard and dam meetings, and organizing the masses to watch rural revitalization propaganda videos, so that the public's concept changed from 'I want to protect the Yili River' to 'I want to protect the Yili River', and actively participated in the protection of the Yili River." ”
In the process of project construction, Huize County has always adhered to the principle of "beauty because of the river and prosperity because of water", demolished 120 illegal buildings of 13,000 square meters along the Yili River, planted 1,024 trees and 300,000 shrubs, supplemented 25,000 square meters of greenery, greened 5.2 kilometers of shoreline, and built 5.2 kilometers of ecological trails.
Sing about life.
Zhongping Street set up a community shareholding economic cooperative to encourage residents to invest in shares with capital and housing, so that "resources become assets, funds into shares, and residents into shareholders", revitalize the community's collective landscape, land and other resources, integrate financial funds, Shanghai-Yunnan assistance funds, immigration new village construction funds, and social funds of 68 million yuan, and build a water town.
The construction of Pushui Township not only solves the problem of "dirty and chaotic", gives way to the flood space of the river, but also increases the entertainment and leisure places, stops the random discharge of sewage, improves the quality of the local environment, but also strengthens the collective economy, promotes the income of residents, and achieves the purpose of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, truly transforming "green water and green mountains" into "golden mountains and silver mountains", and promoting the integrated development of urban and rural areas.
