Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, looking for niche attractions in the surrounding area, in rural tourism, to achieve a deep connection between man and nature...... More and more young people are gradually unlocking such "slow tourism". The cultural tourism visit program "I am in Qingxi with Spring", which will be launched on Hunan Satellite TV and Mango TV from May 1, is a program that can take everyone to slow travel in the countryside. Elephant News reporters learned that in the first two episodes of the program, the "village tour group" composed of young writers Zhang Haochen, Tang Bohu Annie, Li Shaminzi and Wu Zelin will enter Qingxi Village, the hometown of Chinese literature.
Qingxi Village is one of the most beautiful villages in China, known as "China's Famous Historical and Cultural Village", and is the birthplace of Zhou Libo, a Chinese cultural celebrity and a famous modern writer. There are 21 Qingxi Book Houses here, all named after publishers or writers. The "Village Tour Group" will stay at Qingxi B&B under the guidance of the Qingxi Village docent, and the first challenge to meet them in the program is to hold a video exhibition to freeze the beauty of Qingxi with images. In order to find the most suitable exhibition venue, the "Village Tour Group" will go to the Qingxi Book House of the People's Literature Publishing House, the Qingxi Book House of the Red Gene, the Qingxi Book House of Libo and other book houses. The layout of each bookstore is different, and readers can feel the author's unique literary characteristics or stylistic preferences from the design of the bookstore. It is worth mentioning that the "Village Tour Group" also met the writer Wang Yuewen in the Chinese Contemporary Writers Signature Edition Book Collection, as a frequent visitor to "Qingxi Village", Wang Yuewen will also assist everyone to find "Qingxi in literary writing" in the lens.
It is reported that the "Village Tour Group" will be divided into two groups to act separately, Group A is Zhang Haochen and Li Shaminzi group, under their lens, recording the extended train bridge, the girl flying a kite, and the busy farmers who work hard, taking photos in the fragrance of wisteria flowers "Qingxi in literary writing"; Group B Wu Zelin and Tang Bohu Annie were responsible for capturing the "Qingxi Face" and "Qingxi Intangible Cultural Heritage" to convey the intangible cultural heritage to more tourists.
In addition, the "Village Tour" will also collect the photos of Qingxi Village from the eyes of the locals, and hold a video sharing session to invite the owners of the photos to tell the stories behind the photos: the past of the docent who knows how to speak three Chinese languages to receive foreign guests from Kenya, the childlike daily photos of the siblings who picked up eggs on their grandfather's farm after school, and the caretaker of Wang Yue's bookstore reading and taking photos with his autistic son...... Behind these stories, they are the most intuitive testimony of "cultural empowerment and rural revitalization", which is the pride of Qingxi people. According to the program team, the "I am in Qingxi with Spring" video exhibition also attracted many photography enthusiasts, literature lovers, and villagers, who told about their favorite video works during the exhibition, and also expressed their feelings about the video exhibition and the great changes in the mountain township. "In the past, knowing Qingxi Village was the text description of Zhou Libo in "The Great Changes in the Mountains and Villages", and now we have seen the real scene with our own eyes, which has far exceeded Mr. Libo's idea back then. The program team said that they also hope to visualize all the beautiful descriptions of Qingxi Village in the book through the video exhibition, "use images to freeze beautiful moments, and let the world see the beauty of Qingxi."
