On September 27, the reporter came to Xijiang Town, the "hometown of fish and rice" located in Tonghua County, Jilin Province. The first thing that catches your eye is a rice field of tens of thousands of acres. It is now the season of the rice harvest, when the ears of rice are full and clusters are spread across the rice fields. Under the breeze, the rice waves roll layer by layer, and the fresh smell of rice fills the air.
There is a 3,100-meter sightseeing boardwalk built on the rice paddies. Walking on the antique boardwalk, you can hear the sound of frogs, smell the fragrance of rice, and watch the rice waves. This is the core area of Gongmi Town, Gongmi Cultural Park.
There is also a scarecrow park and a vegetable and fruit greenhouse. Visitors can experience childlike fun and picking fun during the tour.
In the park, there is a homestay with the theme of old Northeast folk culture - Daojia. In the garden, the loess wall, straw house, fence yard, bud rice warehouse, furniture and supplies full of Kanto atmosphere, pasted wallpaper, large flower quilt, Kanto kang, etc., restore the most original taste of the old Northeast to the greatest extent.
In recent years, the area has vigorously promoted the development and construction of rural tourism, and embarked on a road of rural cultural revitalization with Chinese characteristics. In 2018, Gongmi Town was rated as a national 3A scenic spot and has now become an agricultural tourism and leisure resort in the county. The average annual number of tourists in the scenic spot reached more than 70,000, and the annual revenue of the group in 2019 was 13 million yuan.
The construction of the Gongmi Town Industrial Park not only improves the utilization rate of rural idle land, but also the rise of tourism also increases the demand for rice industry labor and small town tourism labor, thereby providing employment for rural poor households and agricultural idle surplus labor, increasing farmers' income, and improving the living standards of poor households.
