In Luoyu Town, Zhouzhi County, a homestay called Zixi Yunshe is warm and elegant, and a clear stream flows in front of the homestay. This homestay was originally an idle adobe house after the relocation of the masses, and after the village took it back to the village collective, it was rebuilt into a characteristic homestay that blends with the scenery of the Qinling Mountains on the original site.
B&B is just one of the characteristic ecological industries of Qinling Mountain Village. Turning over the industrial list of Luoyu Town, it has become a trend to revitalize the industry around ecology: the agricultural park is strung with rice fields and homestays;The industrial chain of walnut oil and wormwood deep processing has been continuously extended;Even dandelions, thorns, etc., which are common in rural areas, are added to flour to develop special dried noodles and put them on the shelves.
It is also a backing mountain to "eat" the mountain, and the "eating method" has been very different.
Most of our towns and villages are in the Qinling Mountains, in the past, everyone would feel that protection limited the development, but now the practice of ecological industrialization shows that the stronger the ecological background of the Qinling Mountains, the more vigorous the momentum of our development, tourists come to the Qinling Mountains, and the sales of our native products are popular all the way. Gao Kefeng, Secretary of the Party Committee of Luoyu Town, said that various industries around ecological development drove the per capita net income of villagers to reach 1 last year830,000 yuan, an increase of more than 1,600 yuan over 2022.

After planting kiwifruit for 30 years, it took two years to slowly plant it. Yang Youmin sighed very emotionally, in the past, some villagers in the village only sprinkled fertilizer, soaked bulking agent, it seems that kiwifruit is big and picked early, but this leads to the poor taste of the fruit, not easy to preserve, but gradually lost the market.
In those years, as soon as the morning dawned, the villagers would put baskets and baskets of fruits on the side of the road to sell, and at night they would move baskets back home again and again, but they couldn't sell them in a hurry. Yang Youmin recalled.

The old road does not work, only to explore the new way. Xilou Village has anchored a new ecological planting model: green farmhouse fertilizer has replaced pesticides and fertilizers, agricultural experts have gone to the field to test soil composition, 420 tons of cold storage have been built at the entrance of the village, fruit sorting and packaging lines are readily available, and logistics and distribution centers and live broadcast teams have opened up sales channels ......
We strictly control the amount of fertilizer, picking time, what the soil is lacking, we make up for what is lacking, and the harvested fruits must be tested by professional institutions for sugar content and pesticide residues, so that the market can recognize. Yang Youmin said that intensive cultivation to achieve industrial ecology, this year the village to help sell, consignment, the fruit was sold out early, "now the market is not on the side of the road, but in all parts of the country."
The main responsible comrades of Zhouzhi County introduced that in the past two years, Zhouzhi has been committed to the integrated development of agriculture, culture and tourism, and the Qinling mountain villages along the line have continuously optimized and extended the ecological industrial chain, accelerated the ecological transformation of traditional industries, and achieved a collective economic income of more than 100,000 yuan in all rural villages.
