What is the charm of a small village that attracts "fishing friends" from all over the world every week?Recently, the reporter walked into Li Zhai Village, Hugou Town, Lingbi County, and was pleasantly surprised to find that this village has walked out of a characteristic industrial road through fishing competitions and has made a big article on cultural tourism.
Fishing for new industries.
The cold wind is bleak, but Li Zhai Village, located on the bank of the Hun River in Hugou Town, is still green, making the reporter in a trance in the beautiful Jiangnan water town.
An ancient willow at the entrance of the village has a history of more than 100 years. Wang Zongbao, the village party secretary, said that next to this old willow tree is the village's rural revitalization demonstration base - Shuiyun Gutang Homestay.
With cornices and corners, white walls, and water rhyme, the ancient Tang B&B has a strong Hui architectural style. Walking into the courtyard of the B&B, there are 5 rooms scattered and there are two large ponds in the center of the courtyard, and the water is sparkling.
Don't underestimate these two ponds, they are standard fishing competition pools, and they are also the only standardized fishing competition venues in Suzhou City. Tang Yongcheng, the person in charge of Shuiyun Gutang B&B Co., Ltd., introduced proudly, "Generally speaking, at least 4 fishing competitions are held here a month, and there are about forty or fifty participants in each competition. ”
How did Li Zhai get involved with competitive fishing?Tang Yongcheng told reporters that this was originally a wild pond and has always been a check-in place for wild fishing enthusiasts. "After the B&B was built, the Lingbi County Fishing Association took a fancy to the environment here and established a standardized competitive pool. ”
The fishing competition is a matter of concentration, and participants sit all day during the competition, and lunch boxes are provided at noon and evening. The B&B company contacted two elderly people in the village to give the contestants a box lunch. "Sixty or seventy boxes were made at a meal, and I shared them with two old ladies, and when I was ready, I sent them to the fish pond in a small cart and distributed them to them. Zhang Lan, who was in charge of the ** box lunch, happily told reporters that he could earn about 1,500 yuan a month by delivering a box lunch.
The fishing competition in Li Zhai Village is getting more and more popular. "We have invited industry experts to guide us, and we are currently applying for the standard, preparing to expand the scale, and actively apply to host the national four-class fishing competition, so that the name of 'Diaoyu Village' will be more resounding. Tang Yongcheng said.
Farmhouses become homestays.
Except for the days when the fishing competition was held, at other times, Li Zhai Village was not lively.
There are more than 300 households and 1,700 people in the central village, and most of the villagers are working and doing business in Jiaxing, ZhejiangWang Zongbao, the village party secretary, pointed to the rows of "small villas" in the village and said that many villagers' homes are well decorated, but unfortunately most of them are usually idle.
The fishing tournament brought popularity and also saw business opportunities in the village.
As soon as it was said that there was going to be a competition, the fishing friends were very active in signing up, and they were full every time. Some people not only come to the competition, but also want to experience the countryside by the way. There is also exchange training between fishing friends, and each time they come to teach, they have to live for ten days and half a month. Wang Zongbao and the village cadres "stared" at a large number of idle farmhouses in the village, "We selected more than 10 idle farmhouses for demonstration in the first batch, and mobilized the villagers to hand over the idle farmhouses to the village collective for unified management and unified transformation into homestays." ”
Li Chuanjun, a villager, was the first to sign up: "We were away from home for a long time, and the house was handed over to the village, and they cleaned it up and helped us build a small garden." ”
Make good use of water resources.
Hugou Town, formerly known as Hutanggou, is crisscrossed by many rivers in the territory of Huhe River, Tang River and Sui River, and is extremely rich in water resources.
The still water flows deeply, nourishing the vast land and people along the coast, and also accumulating a profound cultural heritage. Among them, cormorant fishing is a bright business card. In 2021, cormorant fishing was approved as a representative project of Suzhou's intangible cultural heritage, and was selected as the first batch of typical cases of national "one county, one product" characteristic culture and art.
Since 2018, Lingbi County has held the Cormorant Fishing Folk Culture Festival every year, allowing tourists to enjoy the unique scenery of "one boat, two boats, several cormorants, one boat, one water and one leisure". During this year's Folk Culture Festival, more than 50,000 tourists flocked to the festival, driving consumption of more than 10 million yuan.
How to get more tourists to come and stay?Li Zhai Village decided to carry out an overall plan for the appearance of the village and build an "ecological village, water rhyme Li Zhai". The "two committees" of the village innovated ideas, established Lingbi County Water Charm Ancient Tang Cultural Tourism Company, introduced brands, improved the existing homestay industry, and at the same time took water as the soul to realize the integration of production, scenery and culture, and reproduce the "dream water town" where small bridges and flowing water surround the village, and green trees and fish are full of ponds.
I used to come to see a cormorant fishing show, and I went back after watching it. Now you can stay at a homestay and let your children experience rural life. Tourist Shao Nan is full of praise for Li Zhai B&B.
Ten miles of peach blossom belts on both sides of the Tang River have been built, colorful rape flowers have also been planted, and by next spring, we have everything here for sightseeing, leisure, camping, parent-child, racing, fishing and so on. Wang Zongbao said with confidence.
