The Yellow River flows 168 kilometers through Hualong Hui Autonomous County, accounting for nearly one-tenth of the main stream of the Yellow River in Qinghai. Under the premise of protecting the ecology, how to make the Mother River benefit one party? The new leadership team of Hualong proposed to create a "Hualong sample" on the high-quality development road in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, that is, to excavate the rich tourism resources along the Yellow River, drive the economic development of one side, and let the people along the line eat tourist meals and ecological meals.
Recently, the Eastbound Haidong Interview Team of Xihai Metropolis Daily visited Andaqiha Village, Gandu Town, and Ahetan Village in Qunke Town along the Yellow River Basin in Hualong County, and what we saw and heard in these three villages made us feel the confidence and determination of the new leadership team of Hualong in the development along the Yellow River Basin.
Today, anda Qiha Village, Qunke Town, Hualong County, is no longer a quiet village by the Yellow River. Under the turbulence of the spring breeze of high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, it has become a hot land for investors and a new tourist destination.
In autumn, the clear water of the Yellow River and the brilliant autumn colors of Andaqiha Village form a beautiful landscape painting. After years of construction, Andaqiha Village has become a demonstration base for sightseeing agriculture integrating folk culture, sightseeing and picking, ecological leisure, flower experience and product processing.
Seeing the potential tourism development resources of Andaqiha, the Tsongkha Kawacang Intangible Cultural Heritage Cultural Center in Hualong County moved the processing workshop from Jinyuan Township deep in the mountains to here. The person in charge of the center, Geng Dengcai Rang, said that Andaqiha Village is a step away from the Qunke New Area, with convenient transportation and a comfortable climate, more and more tourists are coming here to enjoy flowers, bird watching, and seeing the beauty of the Yellow River. They moved the production workshop to the village of Andaqiha, also with the help of Andaqiha's reputation, to drive the sales of products.
In the workshop, several young painters are working on bodhi leaves. When a Bodhi leaf meets a thangka, a leaf changes its fate. The reporter saw that the leaves of the "dripping leaf tip" were clear and transparent, as thin as cicada wings, and the leaf surface was painted with exquisite thangkas, the portrait lines were delicate and smooth, and the characters were vivid and amazing.
"Leaf painting has a long history, but it lacks innovation." Gengdeng Tsering said that the Bodhi tree is a tropical plant, and these huge bodhi leaves have been carefully "dressed" and their value has increased by a hundredfold. This year, they painted elements of great national unity on the foliage, and the sales volume is very impressive.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley. Geng Dengcai said that the center is an enterprise that mainly produces and sells thangkas, face sculptures, Tibetan embroidery, etc., and has developed unique "Bodhi Leaf Thangka" works on the basis of traditional craftsmanship. Previously, due to inconvenient transportation and closed information in the depths of the mountains, these special products did not find a "mother-in-law", and since moving to Andaqiha Village by the Yellow River, sales channels have gradually opened.
The processing workshop was moved to andda Qiha Village, and the products were not only well known to the majority of tourists, but also drove the sales of products. Yang Zong, another person in charge, said that at present, the company has developed a number of paintings on the themes of national unity and anti-epidemic, which are becoming more and more popular in the market.
The product is ready, the sales channel is opened, and the treatment of the painter is also improved. Through the model of "company + craftsman + farmer", the craftsmen scattered in the folk are gathered together, training is organized, and handicrafts are made in the agricultural leisure season, which not only solves the employment problem of poor households, but also drives a large number of craftsmen in agricultural and pastoral areas to increase their income and become rich.
The Hualong Donghong Talent Education and Training Base, built on the bank of the Yellow River, is also a potential tourism resource in Andaqiha Village. Mr. Ma, the person in charge of the base, introduced that through the integration of 6 village industrial poverty alleviation funds, the base has built a comprehensive education and training base integrating the party history museum, the party building corridor, the party building audio library, talent culture, science and technology culture, traditional culture, experiential education and training, and patriotic education and training.
The superior geographical environment and sound training facilities have attracted people from many units in the province to come here to carry out party history study and education, and outward training. In the Hualong Donghong Talent Education and Training Base, the most eye-catching is the Party History Museum. The Party History Museum displays party history reading materials and displays a century-old party history, filling the gap of red education and comprehensive training in Hualong County, and becoming a unique red education and tourism base in the Yellow River Basin of our province.
The watermill village has become bigger. It not only produces grain, but also grows fresh fruits that the people of the city like to eat.
For Zhang Liusheng, a villager in Shuichuan Village, this year is another bumper harvest year, and the 8 acres of grapes planted have been harvested. After the white dew, the grapes planted by Zhang Liusheng were ripe, and he and his wife never stopped, and Zhang Luo picked grapes for tourists.
"Old Zhang, weigh the tourists over there!"
"Wait a minute, come right away!"
In the grape field, Lao Zhang and his wife were busy. Lao Zhang said that in the first two days, the number of tourists who went to the field to pick grapes surged, and the sales volume in these two days was considerable, selling two or three hundred catties a day.
During the conversation, Zhang Liusheng's phone rang again. "I get several picks every day." Lao Zhang took a few food bags from the tent and led the tourists into the grape field.
Located on the edge of the Yellow River, the waterwheel village can be described as "planting what you get", where the climate is suitable and the water resources are abundant. In the early years, Zhang Liusheng seized the advantages of his hometown's climate and water resources to try to grow grapes in the corn field. After years of groping, heavy grapes were harvested in the cornfield.
"In the past, grapes were planted in the village, and the vineyards became a highlight of the village. However, the good times did not last long, and the vineyard disappeared. Zhang Liusheng said that sitting in such a good place, going on like this, can be lost to this piece of gold-like land.
In order to grow grapes, Zhang Liusheng went to turpan in distant Xinjiang to learn planting techniques. After two or three years of exploration and hard work, the grapes have blossomed and borne fruit in the watermill village and rejuvenated with new vitality. At present, Zhang Liusheng has planted four or five varieties of grapes, and the yield of 0.5 hectares of land in a year has reached more than 15,000 kilograms, and the income has doubled several times compared with planting corn.
With high yields and good returns, Zhang Liusheng is becoming more and more confident in planting grapes. After the autumn harvest, Zhang Liusheng will start to build a greenhouse, and he said that the grapes planted in the greenhouse ripen early and can sell for a good price. When the grapes in the greenhouse are sold out, the grapes in the open air are also ready for harvesting.
"Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to draft water, guarding such a good Yellow River water, can not let it flow in vain." At present, the waterwheel village borrows "water" to make money, do "water" articles, and develop and expand the tourism industry based on fruits and vegetables and cold-water fish, attracting tourists to come here.
Ahetan Village, an ancient village where historical and cultural relics of more than a hundred years can be seen everywhere.
Through an alley, a strangely shaped ancient elm appeared in front of you. Although the heart of this ancient elm tree has died, it still grows luxuriantly, and in the summer, the branches are lush and lush. According to local villagers, this ancient tree has a history of 800 years and has witnessed the transformation of Ahetan Village. Every spring, the ancient trees grow new shoots, and in the summer, they are more leafy, becoming a good place for villagers to cool off.
Curiously, this white elm tree has a large hole in its heart that can accommodate five or six adults at the same time. The trunk of the ancient tree is huge and requires 7 adults to hold together. Not only that, but the ancient trees have different shapes from different angles. From east to west, it looks like a dancing phoenix. From north to south, the branches resemble dragon heads. From west to east, it looks like a well-built Tibetan antelope.
Ma Wenzhong introduced that there are more than 40 ancient elm trees in the village that are more than 100 years old, and one of the oldest ancient elm trees is as old as 808 years old, which has become one of the main landscapes of Ahetan Village tourism.
Walking through the alleys and along the boardwalk, the clear Yellow River appears in front of you. Looking around, the Yellow River curves like a ribbon and the landscape of the brilliant Mingxia can be seen from the bottom. Ahetan Village is located on the three-level terraces of the Yellow River, about 20 meters above the water surface today, and the sediment structure of the ancient Yellow River on the steep cliffs on the river bank resembles a "sandwich", which makes people think about it.
Moving on, a spring at the foot of the mountain gushes out, clear as a mirror. Ma Wenzhong introduced that the sampling and water chemistry test results of 3 springs on the banks of the Yellow River in the south of Ahetan Village show that the content of trace elements strontium and lithium in the spring water exceeds the standard of strontium in Natural Mineral Water in China, which is weak alkaline water, with large spring water volume and good development and utilization value.
In Ahetan Village, we also saw ancient ruins villages, flowers, orchards, houses and so on. In September, the Hualong County Government and the construction team of China University of Geosciences (Beijing) jointly released the results of the geological relics and cultural relics of Ahetan Village, saying that the main geological relics resources of Ahetan Village include the Yellow River curve, river terraces, springs, Caiqiu landforms, collapse geological disasters, etc.; the main cultural relics resources include the thousand-year-old ancient city wall, ancient tomb groups, bronzes and painted pottery, etc., which is an ideal place to study the Yellow River civilization.
The gushing Yellow River water from the Sumba Gorge into Hualong County, meandering 168 kilometers, the water area is wide, the resource advantages are obvious, stringing together Lijiaxia, Zhigang Laka, Kangyang, Gongbo Gorge, Su only 5 large and medium-sized cascade power stations, more than 100,000 acres along the yellow waters day and night flowing endlessly.
Zhang Airu, secretary of the Hualong County CPC Committee, said that the development of Hualong looks at cultural tourism, and the hope of cultural tourism is in the Yellow River, and it is necessary to fully tap the advantages of natural landscapes and cultural landscapes such as the Jiuqu Yellow River, Danxia Landform, RemengKoba, and Century-old Zangzhuang, build a brand along the Yellow Cultural Tourism, and strive to create a "Hualong sample" in the high-quality development of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and become a rising star in the construction of the "Five New Haidong".
