Unleash ecological dividends to pave the way for the future

The construction of the Giant Panda National Park has lasted more than 4 years since the pilot work in January 2017, and Xingjing County, as a pilot area, has also followed the pace of the construction of the Giant Panda National Park and achieved the transformation and development of transformation and development.

At the opening ceremony of the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, Xingjing County was successfully awarded the "Green Water and Green Mountains are Golden Mountains and Silver Mountains" Practice Innovation Base. The ecological enrichment industry between green water and green mountains is the best answer.

Nowadays, "green water and green mountains have become golden mountains and silver mountains", which is a realistic portrayal of the Xingjing. Under the illumination of the green background, today's Xingjing is full of vitality.

Better ecology, green water, green mountains and harmonious home

On October 18, the reporter drove from the Longcanggou exit of the Beijing-Kunming Expressway and drove into the south entrance community of the Giant Panda National Park, with lush greenery on both sides of the road and clouds filling the mountains. After a while, the "Giant Panda National Park" several large characters came into view, which was particularly eye-catching. Not far away, on a house, there sits a cute giant panda, and the garbage bin with the image of the panda is also very conspicuous.

Wannian Village, where it is located, is the "Gateway First Village" at the entrance of Longcanggou of Daxiangling Giant Panda National Park. Many years ago, most of the villagers here lived on small coal mines and small hydropower, but due to the closure of coal mines and hydropower stations, coupled with the loss of young labor, Wannian Village became a poor village.

In recent years, with the construction of the south entrance community of the Giant Panda National Park, Wannian Village has continued to focus on mine restoration, river and lake improvement, and environmental governance, with the construction of the entrance community as the core, developing supporting industries such as health resorts, agricultural industries, and outdoor sports, and promoting the integrated development of culture and tourism.

Wang Yousheng, a Tourist from Chengdu who stays in the village, said that the environment is good and the air is good, and he likes to bring his family here for a while when he has time.

After years of development, Wannian Village has become a key tourist attraction, and will become a "panda community" after the completion of the South Entrance Community of the Giant Panda National Park, specializing in the development of leisure tourism, and now, the popularity here is getting stronger and stronger.

"Our peak tourist season here extends from the Pigeon Blossom Festival in late April to the Autumn Leaves Festival in November of that year. There are more than 100 villagers in our village engaged in tourism reception, and the business is good. Bi Han, the first secretary of Wannian Village, said that according to incomplete statistics, the village achieved tourism income of more than 1.7 million yuan last year alone.

Wannian Village is located on the outskirts of the Giant Panda National Park, and further inside, it is a development village located in the core area of the outer circle.

The forest coverage rate of the development village is more than 95%, the negative oxygen ion content is extremely high, and it is located next to the national primary forest park. The charming development village has beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery.

Similar to the situation in Wannian Village, through unified construction, the panda IP here is integrated into all corners of the village, known as "Panda Homestay Village". In the square of the development village, a series of "fat dun' images are piled up to sell cuteness, drink tea, and play comfortably... The posture is different and the posture is cute.

At a farm next to the square, the hostess Shen and Ping sent away a group of tourists, and it was rare to take a break to sit down. As one of the first local people to open a homestay, her income has now doubled.

Located at the "South Entrance of Giant Panda National Park", more than 100 panda homestays in Longcanggou Area have been built and profitable, receiving 400,000 tourists a year and more than 2,000 tourists in the peak season. In 2020, the average annual operating income of the homestay reached more than 329,000 yuan.

Whether it is a development village or a wannian village, what is displayed is the ecological beauty of the transformation and development of the entire Xingjing County. The sky is bluer, the water is greener, the ecology is better, there are more and more tourists, and the pockets of the people are getting bigger and bigger.

From "selling resources" to "selling scenery", the transformation of Longcanggou Town is a vivid microcosm of the county's "old three-headed economy" to "new three-headed economy".

More prosperous industry Green land development paradise

The delineation of a red line for ecological protection has not made the development of Xingjing stagnate.

The transformation and development of Longcanggou Town is undoubtedly a tonic agent for the economic development of Xingjing County, and it is enough to show that Xingjing's cultural and tourism undertakings have been rejuvenated with new vitality and vitality.

Not only is the cultural tourism industry booming and the momentum is booming, but xingjing's agriculture and industry are also thriving in the green transformation.

Recently, the reporter came to the site of the new prefabricated building materials project located in the Xingjing New Building Materials Industrial Park, the machinery roared, the production lines of fine sand and gravel, commercial mixing and so on were "fully opened", in the factory, on the production line, traffic and municipal paving products lined up in a long line, outside the factory, the floor tiles that have been bundled and stacked are waiting to be loaded.

"80% of the raw materials used in the Kaiquan new prefabricated building materials project come from the local stone tailings mine in Xingjing County." Yang Jianping, chairman of Sichuan Kaiquan New Building Materials Technology Co., Ltd., said.

Once, the stone industry in Xingjing County flourished and once became the pillar of the county's economic development. Later, with the construction of the giant panda national park pilot, environmental protection and other work, most of the mines in Xingjing stopped mining.

What should we do if the economy wants to develop? Elimination or development, Xing Jing resolutely chose the latter. Based on the advantages of abundant mineral resources and low electricity prices, Xingjing has developed a new building materials industry.

Sichuan Kaiquan's new building materials project is a representative enterprise of successful transformation. "We combine the rich local granite tailings and solid waste, mainly develop and manufacture concrete products such as permeable bricks, which can not only turn local tailings and solid waste into treasures, but also produce new products such as permeable bricks, which also meet the requirements of sponge city construction advocated by the state." Yang Jianping said that the whole process also reflects the concept of green development, circular development and low-carbon development.

In recent years, Xingjing has opened a green transformation and development path from "traditional stone" to "new building materials" through resource integration, elimination of backward production capacity, and strengthening of resource management. At present, the new building materials industrial park in western Sichuan, which is mainly based on prefabricated buildings, has been basically completed, with 16 settled enterprises and an output value of 4.4 billion yuan, and is expected to be fully completed by 2025, with 70 settled enterprises and an output value of 12 billion yuan.

At the same time as the rapid development of green new building materials, Xingjing's characteristic organic agriculture is also conceived, as the first pilot county of the national agricultural product quality control technology system in Sichuan, Xingjing enhances the added value of agricultural products with ecological brands, vigorously develops the scale of three major planting bases of tea, forest bamboo and Chinese medicinal materials, and builds three breeding bases of Xingjing cattle, Xingjing cold-water fish and Xingjing pigs, realizing the development of industrial concentration and intensive clusters. It is estimated that by 2025, the county's tea planting area will reach 150,000 mu, forest bamboo planting will reach 500,000 mu, the county's traditional Chinese medicine planting area will be stable at 250,000 mu, and the high-quality vegetable planting area will be 40,000 mu.

In terms of forest recuperation and vacation, Xingjing has developed and improved the "Panda +" format and products by excavating the natural resources, ecological functions and cultural values carried by the Giant Panda National Park, and formed a "five-tour Xingjing" product system of nature education, health resort, mountain sightseeing, cultural experience, and gastronomic taste.
