In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of tourists in the Zhagana Scenic Area in Diebe County, setting off a tourism boom. The stone forests, steep peaks, and cliffs in the scenic area are all natural, the forests, grasslands, and lakes complement each other, the pastorals, villages, and pastures are scattered, and the mountains are wonderful, the clouds and mist are shrouded, just like a fairyland, so that the tourists from all over the world linger and forget to return.
Early in the morning, villager Sonam was busy cleaning and arranging bedding in his homestay. In 2014, Zagana began to vigorously develop tourism, and Sonam seized the opportunity to open a homestay in his home, and now the business is getting better and better. This year, Sonam has upgraded his homestay, and 10 viewing rooms with green windows can open their doors to welcome guests.
Villager Sonam: Now we have a lot of tourists in Zhagana every year, and during the tourist season, every homestay is full. Like me, there were about 10 rooms last year, and the annual income was about 200,000 yuan.
Taking the opportunity of being rated as the "Best Tourism Village" by the United Nations World Tourism Organization, based on the advantages of rich natural and cultural resources, Zagana regards the development of the homestay industry as an important starting point for rural revitalization, promotes the homestay to move towards high-end, characteristic and high-quality homestays, so that farmers and herdsmen can expand the channels for increasing income, meet the multi-level consumption needs of tourists, and help rural revitalization.
Ms. Bi, a tourist from Nanjing: I drove from Nanjing, stayed in Zagana last night, and also participated in the bonfire party here, I think the people here are very enthusiastic, can sing and dance, this morning to see the sunrise, although unfortunately I can't see it, or will continue to enjoy the surrounding scenery along the way.
Mr. Hao, a photography enthusiast from Hebei: Gannan traveled again, I came to Zhagana yesterday, and I took a picture of the sunrise this morning, and I feel that the scenery of this place in Zhagana is pleasant, the climate is also very cool, and the environment is very beautiful.
There are more than 1,600 people in 225 households in Zhagana, and in recent years, we have used our original ecological board houses to open a Tibetan family and upgrade the homestay. According to statistics, the per capita net income of Zagana has risen from 4,500 yuan in 2014 to more than 50,000 yuan today.
Villager Sanjie Cairang: I started operating this homestay in August last year, as large as its decoration and small to the carton are designed by myself, and the income from August to October last year was about 230,000 yuan in less than three months, and I hope that this year will be better than last year, and the income can be doubled.
In order to better attract tourists, the local government has made great efforts to integrate ecological, cultural, economic and other elements to improve the infrastructure and living environment of Zagana, and build the cultural tourism industry into a pillar industry for enriching the people and rejuvenating the county.
Director of the Market Supervision and Management Institute of Yiwa Town, Diebe County, and Jiabao Owner, a cadre of Zagana Baopiao: With the continuous development and growth of the tourism industry in Zagana, it has created a new growth point for the income of the masses.
