The countryside of Quanzhou in early spring is colorful and picturesque. Under the guidance of the rural revitalization strategy, the vast countryside of Quanzhou is constantly releasing its potential and strength, becoming a "cornucopia" of near and far. Here, it is a dream building space for homebound travelers, a harmonious home for hard-working villagers, and a resort for tourists from near and far.

Liaoyuan Village
Light up the "spark" of the B&B economy
On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, Liaoyuan Village, Fengzhou Town, Nan'an City, was full of people and cars, and it was a lively scene. At the breakfast stall at the entrance of the village, the steaming noodle batter awakens the taste buds of tourists with different accents.
Liaoyuan Village, which is adjacent to Quanzhou Railway Station, has a superior geographical location and convenient transportation. Taking the renovation of the bare house in 2018 as an opportunity, Liaoyuan Village played a combination of "demolition, modification, planting, and construction", and the illegal construction and chicken and duck houses disappeared, and the front and back of the house were full of greenery, and the village looked new. With the favorable location, the villagers of Liaoyuan Village, who have a keen sense of smell, have transformed their self-built houses into homestays, winning the favor of backpackers.
Quanzhou's cultural tourism is becoming more and more popular, and last year's business was very good. Villager Xie Zhennan's family has been running a homestay for 7 years and has hired villagers to do cleaning. He said that during the Spring Festival, the homestay rooms in the village were almost full.
In order to facilitate tourists, at the end of last year, the Liaoyuan Village Committee took the lead in coordinating with multiple departments to raise funds to build a sidewalk about two meters wide, which went directly to Liaoyuan Village from the exit of the train station, and the homestay in the village became even more "popular". "We walked from the train station with our suitcases in tow, which was only 10 minutes away. Mr. Yang, a tourist from Ningxia, said.
Rural revitalization is inseparable from the support of industry. Wang Furong, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Liaoyuan Village, said that there are currently more than 40 homestays in Liaoyuan Village, with an average daily passenger flow of more than 1,000 people, and this year it was also rated as a provincial rural revitalization demonstration village. By revitalizing the collective assets of the village and developing the homestay industry, the economic income of the village collective in Liaoyuan Village has jumped significantly, and only a 1,500-square-meter small building put into use last year can bring more than 200,000 yuan of annual rent to the village collective.
In the face of the vigorous development of homestays, how to unify and standardize management and achieve "long-term red"? Wang Furong and the village cadres went out to "learn from experience" and explore the use of the intelligent management model of homestay property to create a "boutique homestay village". The newly built Liaoyuan Village property building is expected to be put into use in June this year, and after completion, it will cover a variety of functions such as a digital property management center and a tourist service center, and organize fire protection and security to settle in, so that the management of the homestay is safer and more standardized.
We are building an antique stone road leading to Xihuayan Temple, which is more than 800 meters long, and plans to introduce southern Fujian snacks and souvenirs to create a 'Xiaoxi Street', so that tourists can not only live in Liaoyuan, but also eat and play in Liaoyuan. Wang Furong said.
"The phoenix returns to the nest".
Feelings for the pen to renew the "face" of the countryside
Homecoming! On February 6, the twenty-seventh night of the lunar month, Cai Zhaolong finished the work at hand and hurriedly returned to his hometown of Jinjiang Anhai from Chengdu.
Such departures and arrivals are commonplace for Cai Zhaolong. As early as 2015, he decided to move the base camp of the 760 Cultural Communication Company he founded back to Anhai, while he was engaged in 3D painting design. At that time, this thousand-year-old town was taking advantage of the province's "town-level small city" cultivation pilot to rise rapidly. The collision and fusion of tradition and modernity nourishes Cai Zhaolong's artistic dreams and provides a broad market space for his cultural and creative career.
Anhai is not only my hometown, but also the place that gave me the enlightenment of life and artistic creation, as well as the destination of my soul and the source of inspiration. Cai Zhaolong said that through cultural exchanges with various places, and then looking back at his hometown, his creative ideas are clearer, and he wants to apply what he has learned and accumulated to the construction of his hometown.
In the past ten years, Cai Zhaolong and his creative team have traveled all over the city and countryside, and their career has expanded to Chengdu and other places. From the initial 3D wall painting to the installation art combining painting and relief, Cai Zhaolong's creation incorporates cultural elements such as Anping Bridge, red brick houses, and East and West Towers, and gives village lanes, city blocks, flood control embankments, and viaducts fresh "faces" with fashionable or retro expressions, and many theme walls have become local "Internet celebrity" check-in points.
At the entrance of the village committee of Renshou Village, Anhai Town, Cai Zhaolong's team silently told the glorious history of this old district base point village with the party flag, torch and five-star cultural wall built with red bricks. The "Zhile Book House" in the village is a new themed space created by Cai Zhaolong's team. Look closely at the paintings on the walls: under the thatched eaves, the grandfather and grandson are sitting in front of the window, one holding a book in his hand. The quiet and beautiful atmosphere immediately brings people into the situation. "These creations, combined with our village conditions, have a strong rural atmosphere, can be more integrated into daily life, and enrich everyone's spiritual 'granary'. Zhu Cuiyun, secretary of the general party branch and director of the village committee of Renshou Village, said.
The cultural attributes of each village are different, and every creation is a challenge. Cai Zhaolong said that it is his long-term insistence to take the original personality route and inherit the traditional culture of his hometown with creativity. In the future, he will take Anhai as his base camp and show the charm of Quanzhou in various forms such as wall paintings, figurines, and installation art through Chengdu's fashion platform, so that more people can understand and fall in love with Quanzhou.
River Town
The idyllic scenery attracts visitors
On the afternoon of the third day of the first lunar month, in the picking garden of Senhui Farm in Heshi Town, Luojiang District, Ms. Lin from Quanzhou City picked a bunch of red cherry tomatoes and gently put them into the basket. "The experience here is very good, and the freshly picked fruit tastes very fresh. She said that she is usually busy with work, and takes advantage of the Spring Festival holiday to "mobilize the whole family" to bring the children to experience rural life.
In addition to cherry tomatoes, there are also a wave of tourists picking strawberries, sugar cane, and fruit corn growing areas in the garden. "In these secondary intelligent temperature-controlled greenhouses, Japanese strawberry varieties are introduced, all of which are green and organically grown. Wang Huaidong, manager of Senhui Agricultural Comprehensive Development, said.
As a scientific and technological development agricultural enterprise, Senhui Agriculture started from traditional agriculture and transformed to planting Chinese herbal medicine in 2018. "We pay attention to the combination of agriculture, culture and tourism to create an idyllic scenery that can be enjoyed, with fruits and vegetables all year round. Chinese herbs such as red fruit and holly bloom for 4 months every year. Wang Huaidong said that the company adopts the "company + base + farmer" model, and will build a green agricultural complex integrating modern sightseeing agriculture, leisure and entertainment, outdoor development, and farm creative markets.
Since last year, the town has purchased Chinese herbal medicine seedlings in a unified manner, and Senhui Agriculture has served as a third party to provide technical guidance for farmers and be responsible for the later purchase, and farmers are expected to earn 50,000 or 60,000 yuan per mu. Xie Lingcong, deputy mayor of Heshi Town, introduced.
Based on the natural ecological and cultural advantages of the northern area, in recent years, Heshi Town has successfully built a municipal-level rural revitalization demonstration line of "Baiyang-Mountainside-Xinsuo-Cuodou" around the theme of "Youmei River City, Ecological Dongxi". Taste Yu Dayou culture, listen to the legend of Chen Sanwu Niang, interact with the cute pet paradise, take a break at the camping base, and ......check in the city of light and shadow that never sleepsThe endless new "ways to play" in the countryside are attracting more and more tourists to come and experience.
Wei Lusha, Secretary of the Party Committee of Heshi Town, said: "In the new year, we will focus on the construction of the 'Hemei Rural Demonstration Belt', combine the overall layout of the village planning, and promote the linkage of each village and the whole town, so as to create a waterfront rural tourism industrial belt integrating ecology, culture and industry." ”
