On February 11, during the Spring Festival holiday, many tourists and returnees came here to enjoy and buy orchids in the orchid-themed leisure and sightseeing park in Dahe Town, Tongbai County.
In recent years, Dahe Town has developed the orchid ecological economy according to local conditions, innovated the industrial development model of "orchid planting + eco-tourism + sightseeing agriculture", and driven the masses to engage in the production of orchids and related industries, at present, the number of people engaged in orchid planting in the town has reached more than 4,000 people, the scale of orchids has reached 100,000 pots, and the orchid industry has achieved comprehensive income of 1500 million yuan. The former mountain town has now become an "orchid town" integrating orchid viewing, procurement, tourism and leisure.
The butterfly changes in Dahe Town reflect the great changes in the development of Tongbai County. Tongbai County, the source of the Huai River, has excellent natural ecology and rich red culture, and the local area closely focuses on the development goal of "a strong ecological county and a famous county for cultural tourism", develops green industries, revitalizes red cultural resources, and embarks on a road of revitalization of characteristic industries of "red and green integration".
"Green" is the background color of pride and pride in Tongbai County, the old revolutionary base area. Over the years, in order to take care of the source of the Huai River, the cadres and masses of Tongbai County have taken "drinking upstream water and not forgetting the downstream people" as the bottom line that must be adhered to in development, and have successively banned more than 200 "scattered and polluted" enterprises, completed 36 historical mine treatment projects, built 6 national green mines, and the county's forest coverage rate reached 517%, won the three major battles of blue sky, clear water and pure land.
While taking care of the green ecology, how to realize the take-off of the county economy? The path of Tongbai County is: ecological industrialization, industrial ecology, invigorating the "red and green integration" article, seeking benefits from "green + red", and promoting development and transformation with the construction of ecological civilization.
Over the years, Tongbai County has innovated and explored, established the "tea, mugwort, fungus, flower" industry as the characteristic leading industry, tourism, photovoltaic, science and technology, e-commerce and other supplemented "4+N" industrial revitalization system, and focused on building tea, mugwort leaves, edible fungi and orchid industry clusters. At present, there are more than 40 village collectives developing tea industry in the county, more than 20 village collectives developing Ai industry, and more than 30 village collectives developing edible fungus industry and flower industry.
New forms of business such as eco-tourism also continue to "heat up". Tongbai County has fully excavated the profound cultural resources such as Huaiyuan culture, red culture, and tea culture, and created a large number of high-quality tourism routes such as historical and cultural tours, red culture and patriotism education tours, tea town cultural tours, and ecological health tours, so as to build a large tourism, large industry, and large development pattern.
At the same time of developing green industries, Tongbai County has given full play to the role of red culture in educating people and boosting the development of tourism, repaired the Tongbai Revolutionary Memorial Hall and Tongbai Red Clean Government Culture Exhibition Hall, and carried out protective restoration of Tongbai Heroes Monument, Heroes Square, the former site of the Hubei and Henan Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the former site of the Tongbai District Committee of the Communist Party of China. Today, Tongbai County has developed into an important revolutionary education base and red tourist attraction that radiates the whole province and surrounding areas, and the red cultural brand of "Hero Tongbai" is getting brighter and brighter.
With the support of tourism products such as red education, ecological tourism, health preservation and leisure vacation, the county has continuously transformed the mode of tourism development, enhanced the comprehensive effect of tourism, and promoted the rapid development of the cultural tourism industry. The combination of "red" and "green" bursts out with infinite charm, and the old area of Tongbai is full of vitality.
Practitioner said. We will integrate red resources with lucid waters and lush mountains, make overall plans, continue to implement the strategy of ecologically strong counties, make the livable environment more and more "green", make the spiritual and cultural life more and more "red", and make the people's sense of gain, happiness and security in the old area stronger and stronger.
