As a village at the foot of the Jinshanling Great Wall, it was named after an enemy tower on the Great Wall, and it was the only thing I knew about Hualougou Village before. As the old saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, how to develop the countryside by relying on the Great Wall? With this question in mind, I walked into Hualougou Village, located in Bakshiying Township, Luanping County, Hebei Province.
The open section of the Jinshanling Great Wall is all in Hualougou Village. To go up to the Great Wall, you must start from Hualougou Village, go down to the Great Wall, and return to Hualougou Village. Occupying a unique advantage, the people in the village set up a farmhouse. On the way into the village, Duan Jiu, secretary of the party branch of Hualougou Village, came to introduce. While speaking, we have arrived at the entrance of the village, only to see gray tiles and white walls, green trees, characteristic homestays on both sides of the road are clustered and connected, full of design of street and lane signs, photography theme sculptures, attracting tourists to stop and take pictures, "International Photography Art Village" several big words are very eye-catching.
The Great Wall of the Sea of Clouds, the Great Wall of the Starry Sky, and the Great Wall of the Rime, following the photographs hanging on the outer wall of the farmhouse, we met the peasant photographer Cui Haiming. "In the past, we used to take pictures of tourists on the Great Wall and earn some money by carrying equipment for photography enthusiasts. After a long time, I wondered, the scenery of the Great Wall in my hometown is so beautiful and so close, why not take a picture myself? Recalling the change in his career, Cui Haiming said, "In order to shoot well, I now have to go to the Great Wall almost 500 times a year." ”
In recent years, more and more villagers have picked up cameras and become experts in photographing the Great Wall, forming a cultural atmosphere in which the whole people participate in photography.
At present, there are 2 members of the Chinese Photographers Association, 10 members of the Hebei Photographers Association, and nearly 20 members of the Chengde Photographers Association. Many photography enthusiasts from all over the country come here to ask for advice on shooting points, photography skills, and share photography experience. From making a living to hobbies, from villagers to photographers, each photographic work witnesses the burst of their feelings, the change of identity, and the development of the village. This kind of cultural cohesion has stimulated a strong momentum to promote rural revitalization.
Wang Xinlan, a villager, runs a farmhouse and gives backpacks to tourists in her spare time. I heard that I was going to serve a photography group from Jiangsu the next day, so I made an appointment with Sister Wang to experience being a backpacker. At 4 a.m., we set off against the stars. There was a heavy rain at night, and the Great Wall and mountains were like a fairyland in the sea of clouds, which was so beautiful that the photography group shouted that it was worth it. "The natural landscape of the Great Wall of Jinshanling is magnificent, the enemy towers of the Great Wall are dense, known as the reputation of 'the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles, the unique beauty of Jinshan', the barrier wall, the horse retaining wall, the text brick and the unicorn shadow wall are called the 'Four Uniques of Jinshan'. As she walked, Sister Wang gave a detailed introduction to the scenic spots, cultural relics, military facilities and folklore on the mountain.
Friends, today's sea of clouds is particularly beautiful, I will give you a view. On the way to walk, I happened to meet "Great Wall Lao Guo" who was broadcasting live. Wearing casual clothes, carrying backpacks on the shoulder, and holding stabilizers, it has become a part of the daily life of Guo Zhongxing, director of the Jinshanling Great Wall Cultural Relics Protection Center, to take netizens to understand the history and culture of the Great Wall, popularize the knowledge of the Great Wall, and spread the concept of protection. He is called the "Living Map of the Great Wall" by netizens, and the number of "fans" on the short ** platform has exceeded 410,000. He laughed and said that every brick, wall, grass and tree here is very familiar, and it is broadcast live almost every day, mainly to attract more people to pay attention to the Jinshanling Great Wall.
Culture is the soul of rural revitalization, a unique resource of a place, and the most attractive and worthwhile treasure trove. Relying on the rich history and beautiful Great Wall, Hualougou Village has given full play to the role of culture in empowering rural revitalization, and has developed cultural industries such as Great Wall photography, research classes, and characteristic homestays with culture, and has actively developed a group of people who love the Great Wall, protect the Great Wall, photograph the Great Wall, and publicize the Great Wall.
When it comes to the future development of Hualougou Village, Duan Jiulai said with longing: "Tourism ecology, homestay industrialization, and village scenic spots are the direction of our efforts. "At the entrance of the scenic area, the photography theme bar has been completed; In front of the village, more than half of the construction of the folk culture exhibition hall and photography research base is completed; Next to the main street, a sea of photographic flowers is being paved ......I believe that the next time I come back here, it will be another lively scene.
