A few days ago, Rong Fenglin, a villager in Taya Village, Beiye Township, Pingshan County, Shijiazhuang City, looked at several old houses being transformed in the village and was happy. "These old houses have been in disrepair for a long time and have been unoccupied all the year round. Now they are being reused, I think it's very good." Rong Fenglin said with a smile.
Taya Village is a small mountain village in Beiye Township, Pingshan County. In recent years, the number of migrant workers in the village has increased year by year, the permanent population has declined, and more and more old houses have been left unused. In response to this situation, Taya Village, with the help of the village, cooperated with Hebei Xinxiaoyuan Cultural Development Co., Ltd. to focus on the collective homestay village project, create a rural garden courtyard with one family characteristics, and focus on the development of a rural pastoral cultural and tourism complex integrating homestay, health care, parent-child, leisure, and research.
"We can see mountains, water and homesickness, which is actually the common life vision of urban people and village people. Our village has 600 years of history, and many old cave houses are quite distinctive. We cooperated with enterprises to upgrade the idle cave houses according to the standard of high-quality home stay and rent them to groups in need, realizing the efficient use of idle rural resources." Bai Yonghong, a cadre of the "two committees" of Taya Village, said. Now, the village has formed a new model of "the householder gets the rent, the fellow townspeople get the salary, the masses get the benefits, and the collective development", which injects new vitality into the revitalization and development of the village.
"We show the local characteristic houses to people all over the country through webcast, and now several customers have signed contracts with us. According to their requirements, we will soon carry out the housing renovation work," said the relevant person in charge of Hebei Xinxiaoyuan Cultural Development Co., Ltd.
In addition to building characteristic rural garden, Taya Village also vigorously develops terraced rape planting. "A few days ago, we just invited experts from the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Hebei Agricultural University to guide farmers to do a good job in rape field management." Bai Yonghong said with a smile, "Experts said that at present, rape is growing well, soil moisture is good, and it is estimated that it will blossom at the end of March. As long as we do a good job in pest control, we can see large areas of rape flowers."
"This year we will strive to revitalize more than 30 old houses, and it is expected to attract an investment of 10 million yuan, so that more tourists can come to Taya Village to live in new homestays, see rape flowers, vigorously develop the cultural and tourism industry, and lead the people to become rich together." Bai Yonghong said confidently. (Reporter Li Kunxiao)
