In the picturesque Xinchuan Village of Zhejiang Province, a remarkable transformation story is unfolding. Once grappling with ecological damage in the 1980s, the village has embraced a green development path that's paying off big time. 🌱🚀
Zhang Tianren, deputy to the 14th National People’s Congress, highlighted the village’s journey to sustainability during the Deputies' Corridor event before the NPC’s third session. Over the past two decades, Xinchuan has implemented key initiatives like waste sorting, road hardening, and extensive greening projects. These efforts have seamlessly integrated the village into the new energy industry chain, setting a stellar example for rural revitalization.
But the green revolution doesn’t stop there! Villagers are actively developing leisure agriculture, rural tourism, and boutique homestays, turning Xinchuan into a hotspot for visitors seeking authentic and eco-friendly experiences. 🌾🏡
With a vibrant population of over 3,000, Xinchuan is home to more than 80 enterprises. The economic uplift is evident, with the annual per capita income soaring to 150,000 yuan (nearly $21,000). 💸✨
Moreover, Xinchuan has established a demonstration zone for common prosperity, collaborating with neighboring villages across provinces to share Zhejiang’s successful rural revitalization strategies. This partnership is fostering widespread development and prosperity, proving that sustainable growth can benefit entire communities. 🤝🌟
The story of Xinchuan Village is a testament to the power of green initiatives and community-driven efforts in transforming rural areas into thriving, sustainable havens.
