Recently, the fifth page of the People's Daily published the article "Ecology Becomes an Industry, Green Mountains Become Golden Mountains", reporting on the development process of Wangxian Valley Scenic Area from an abandoned mine butterfly to a resounding brand of Jiangxi ecological cultural tourism.
Ecology becomes an industry, and green mountains become golden mountains
-- Write a new chapter in the rise of the central region
Zhu Lei
Expanding greenery, revitalizing greenery, and protecting greenery at the same time, and continuing to expand the green economy, will surely provide a steady stream of green kinetic energy for high-quality development and write a moving development story
Walking into the Wangxian Valley Scenic Area located in Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province, you will immediately blend into the sea of flowers. Visitors may not imagine that there used to be hundreds of granite production lines, and for a period of time, the waste water from stone processing was discharged into the valleys, the water bodies were dyed "milk-colored", the mountains and forests became "barren mountain passes", and the villages became "hollow villages".
Draw a lesson from a bitter experience. In order to change the appearance of the mountain township, the local government introduced a professional team to carry out ecological restoration. At the same time, relying on the unique granite peak forest landform, a characteristic cliff homestay is created, coffee houses, bars, and cultural and creative shops are interspersed, and the original river has also become a drifting place. Today, Wangxian Valley has become a resounding brand of Jiangxi's ecological cultural tourism, and the scenic spot will receive 3.691 million tourists in 2023.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Improve the compensation mechanism for horizontal ecological protection and the value realization mechanism of ecological products in the river basin, and promote industrial ecology and ecological industrialization." "From selling stones to selling landscapes, Wangxian Valley has found a road to ecological industrialization. As a national ecological civilization pilot zone and a national pilot project for the realization mechanism of ecological product value, how can Jiangxi transform its ecological "appearance" into development "value"? This is a comprehensive examination question related to spatial pattern, industrial structure, production mode and lifestyle.
The ecological environment is excellent, which can gather "popularity" and bring "wealth". It is also necessary to see that lucid waters and lush mountains will not automatically become gold and silver mountains, and we must find out the "doorway" of transformation. Wangxian Valley has built a cultural and tourism town integrating landscape landscape, outdoor sports, and folk customs experience, attracting tourists; Wuning County, Jiujiang City, has developed traditional fruit and wood industry, forest economy, and local specialties have achieved great industries; Chongyi County, Ganzhou City, with a forest coverage rate of 88%, has promoted carbon emission index trading, so that good air can be "clearly marked"...... Combined with the resource endowment, find the right development path suitable for the local ecological characteristics, so that the good ecology can adapt to the industry, in order to enhance the "gold content" with the "green content".
Extending the chain and doing a good job in supporting will make good industries bring good benefits. Many places are rich in ecological resources, but some of them are incomplete and have no obvious characteristics, and have failed to form industrial chains and industrial clusters, making it difficult to produce scale effects. After the completion of the Wangxian Valley Scenic Area, it will continue to expand supporting industries such as homestays, catering, and intangible cultural heritage workshops, plan to plant vegetable and fruit experimental fields, soybean demonstration areas, etc., promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, and extend the industrial chain and value chain; From improving quality to improving services, from telling good stories to enriching business formats, multiple measures are taken to revitalize resources and better meet diversified needs, so that ecological products can be favored by the market.
Ecological industrialization cannot be limited to the development of cultural tourism and the sale of local products. To make the ecological industry bigger and stronger, we must improve the value realization mechanism of ecological products and solve the problems of difficult trading and realization of ecological products. Looking at the central region, from Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province, to innovate green financial services and focus on solving the problem of ecological resource mortgage loans, to Huaihua City, Hunan Province, to establish a rural property rights trading center with relevant enterprises, so that ecological products can realize the value in market transactions, and then to Huangshan City, Anhui Province, to carry out large-scale storage and market-oriented operation of fragmented resources such as mountains, water, forests, fields, lakes, grasses, and idle farmhouses, and establish hundreds of "strong village companies" as the main body of village-level ecological product supply and trading...... Focusing on the value evaluation of ecological products, market transactions, and financial empowerment, the relevant practices are very vivid. Looking to the future, it is also necessary to further improve the policy system of ecological product confirmation, accounting, and trading, so that enterprises and all sectors of society can participate in exploring more feasible channels for turning resources into assets.
Long green water, towering green mountains. In the central region, various industries relying on beautiful ecology have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Expanding greenery, revitalizing greenery, and protecting greenery at the same time, and continuing to expand the green economy, will surely provide a steady stream of green kinetic energy for high-quality development and write a moving development story.
From a lonely village to a picturesque AAAA-level tourist attraction, Wangxian Valley has fully practiced the theory of two mountains in the past ten years. In order to realize the value conversion from "lucid waters and lush mountains" to "golden mountains and silver mountains", Wangxian Valley Scenic Area has carried out active and effective exploration and practice in the integration of natural resources, quality and efficiency improvement, and operation and development. In the past ten years, Wangxian Valley has adhered to the orientation of "restoring rural buildings, reviving rural life, and reviving rural economy", practiced the "plan to save lonely villages and rebuild new hometowns", inherited the customs of the Gan family, continued the local feelings, and created a new space for cultural tourism in Jiangxi.
Today's Wangxian Valley, a legendary mountain picture scroll has been slowly opened, the street is full of people, bustling, pine and bamboo sea, gurgling streams play music here, the familiar local sound and shouting linger in the ears, in an instant, it will return to the hometown between the green mountains and green waters.
