Accelerating the development of cultural tourism in Shanxi has an important impact on the layout of the whole province. There are many natural landscapes in Shanxi that are difficult to see in other places.
Located in the southeastern border of Shanxi, it is the source of Taihang Grand Canyon, where the natural scenery is very beautiful and the folk customs are extremely unique. Shenlongwan Village is one of the most magical villages.
There is a magical village, which has always been called "the frog in the well". In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say so. The village is deep in the Taihang Mountain Canyon, surrounded by annual rings. If you look down from above, it looks like a well. Therefore, this village is very famous in many people's hearts.
According to the villagers themselves, their ancestors lived here hundreds of years ago. Their ancestors lived in such an isolated place, gradually divorced from the trend of the times and lived an isolated life. For a long time, no one cared about it.
Because of the unique landscape, there is also a completely different name here: Bati Village.
There are some ancient legends about the village's past.
In the past, the labor force was mainly people and livestock. The geographical location of Bati Village is very special, and it used to be a distribution center for logistics and passenger transport. In addition, it is also full of inns, shops, grain shops and so on. It's very lively every day.
Perhaps because of the reasons mentioned in this legend, Bati village has become an ancient village. Later, this ancient road was gradually abandoned, Bati village still existed, and many original features were handed down.
Now the interior of the village is also "built on the mountain", and the buildings in the village are mostly stones, stone streets, stone houses and stone walls. , forming a very distinctive architectural form.
In particular, the material at the top of the house looks obviously chestnut, but the thickness is not bad, and it has a very rich natural landscape. For local people, this material selection cost is also very low, so the production process is very convenient.
The earliest remnant monument in Bati Village is the "Longmen Temple Monument" engraved with the word "Mingde". According to this calculation, Bati Village was inhabited as early as Zhengde period in Ming Dynasty, but when this ancient road was built has not been verified.
After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Bati village was closed to roads and gradually became an isolated mountain village, which hindered the economic and social development of Bati village. However, from another perspective, it also allows Bati Village to retain its ancient folk customs and folkways.
1997, the tongcun highway with a total length of 16 km began to be built, and outsiders "discovered" this ancient village again.
In 200 1 year, 1.5 km long wall-hung expressway was opened, and in 2003, the corresponding supporting facilities of expressway began to be further improved. In the initial stage of "getting rid of poverty", there is a saying in the world: if you want to be rich, build roads first.
This also applies to the village of Jandi.
In 2000, after the completion of the highway, the economic income ratio of Bati Village doubled 1998, and in 2004, the income doubled compared with 2000.
There are many rare natural resources in the mountain village, such as Radix Codonopsis, Radix Astragali and other precious Chinese herbal medicines. In inconvenient times, these Chinese herbal medicines are rotten and can't be sold at home. After the opening of the highway, they can finally flow into the outside world through the highway, which also brings very valuable wealth to the local villagers.
Later, a power station was built in the village, which made the life of residents much easier.
More and more families have installed telephones, televisions, etc. And there are hundreds of mobile phones.
There are more than 80 students and 6 teachers in the village. It can be said that the teacher-student ratio is very high. With the expressway, children can go to the county to study when they grow up, which is more convenient.
What ordinary people are most concerned about is actually education and medical care. With the expressway, the stones hanging in the hearts of ordinary people are gradually put down. And there are clinics in the village, which can solve some basic diseases. This clinic is also one of the first-class clinics in the county 100.
With the expressway, the people here have lived a poor and hard life for generations, and they have gradually come to an end.
In the past, in order to facilitate travel, the villagers in Zhandi village deliberately dug a narrow path on the cliff about 100 feet high, which consisted of more than 1800 steps. People have made great efforts in the process of climbing, and even made the sound of "ha, ha" when breathing, so this step was also named "ha stairs" vividly.
At the same time, Changzhi, where Zhandi Village is located, is also an extremely important place. Taihang Mountain in the east and Taiyue Mountain in the west have also created rich and colorful tourism resources in Changzhi. Looking through ancient historical books, we can also find that Changzhi is the birthplace of prehistoric cultures such as "Jingwei Reclaiming the Sea" and "Nuwa Creating Man".
After other media came to Bati village, they also left a high evaluation here.
It is not difficult to imagine that in the past ten years, people in Bati Village have also undergone great changes, and they have gradually come into contact with people and things outside.
There is also a nice name for this wall-hung highway, which is called "Heaven goes into the sky". It is hundreds of meters away from the top and foot of the mountain and has more than 30 holes. Seen from a distance, it looks like an open window.
Before the wall-hung highway was completely completed, the villagers in Bati Village had almost no contact with the outside world for generations. At that time, they were very simple and even showed a little discomfort in the process of building the expressway. Therefore, many tourists choose not to stay in Bati village for too long after learning about these histories.
Living in seclusion in the mountains is an unimaginable life scene for contemporary urban residents, and it also requires strong willpower and rich survival wisdom, which has been passed down from generation to generation by people in Bati Village.
There are about 200 families in the village. It is extremely complicated for them to travel before there is no road. They must go through the "Ha stairs".
What naturally attracts painters is the smoky scenery here in the morning and evening. Being in it is like hunting in Orion.
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the main sources of economic income here. Now, more and more people know about Bati village and want to escape from the noise of the city. Being married and traveling here with children is obviously good news for Bati Village.
However, the villagers accustomed to simplicity did not choose to over-develop, and the village just built more "inns" for tourists to rest.
According to the photos sent back by some tourists, it can be seen that these "inns" are located at the foot of the mountain and can enjoy the pleasure of overlooking. As a result, with the great increase in the reputation of Zhandi Village, the "inn" here gradually became famous and became the later "cliff inn".
Rural life is also what many "tired people" yearn for, and Bati Village will gradually carry this important function in the future.
On the lake in the village, there is also a "Lake Pavilion", which is refreshing.
On the pavilion, there are fish playing, and the boat can always cause ripples in the water. Everything is as beautiful as a painting.
Although it is in Shanxi, it feels more like being in the misty rain south of the Yangtze River.
After learning about the outside world, people in Bati village began to gradually adjust their ideas, and they also wanted to embark on a road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.
Looking back at the past eighties, the annual output of yellow pears in the village can reach tens of thousands of kilograms, and there are a series of crops such as persimmons, hawthorn and peppers, which can't be eaten by ordinary people, and these products rot in the ground.
As early as 1982, some villagers who had been away from home came back and set up local canned fruit processing plants. The products produced are very fresh and exported to Inner Mongolia, Hebei and other places, and many families have an extra income. Although they don't know what happened in the outside world, they just heard a lot.
However, over time, coupled with the constant changes in natural weather, the already inconvenient traffic became worse. Because products often cannot be delivered on time, the factory gradually stopped working after a long time.
The villagers also made great efforts in building roads.
Wave a hammer, hit a stone, make a radish head, bask in the sun and chew a corn bread. People in Shenlongwan Village finally crossed the mountain.
A wall-hung highway with a total length of 1.526 meters, 33 communicating holes and 39 windows has been suspended from the waist of Taihang.
Old party member Hu was also remembered by the villagers. At that time, he unfortunately suffered from esophageal cancer and could not even eat normally in the later period. He insisted on using fried noodles and paste to build roads. In order to support the construction of this road, he sold the coffin board and donated it.
Asked about the reason, Hu once said to everyone: "Grandpa fell to his death cutting firewood up the mountain and broke his leg walking along the mountain road. If there is no road, the doll will fall in the future. "
With the road, veteran Zhou Shuyu opened the first restaurant in the village. After him, the villagers gradually felt the business opportunities, so the farmhouse music in Zhandi Village appeared like mushrooms after rain.
With more and more tourists, Zhou Shuyu's farmhouse has been upgraded, and now it is equipped with TV, bathroom, wireless network and air conditioning. What he is afraid of is that tourists don't adapt to the situation here.
He said: "At present, there are more than a dozen people working here. Some people used to start their own businesses after working for a few years. There are now more than a dozen farmhouse hostels, all of which are developing very well. "
In addition, tourism has also promoted the development of other local economies.
Many peppers, persimmons and wild vegetables that once rotted in the ground were bought by tourists. It is inconceivable that we have made a lot of money this year alone.
There are more and more kinds of jobs in the village. Some people not only run travel agencies, but also undertake the work of sanitation, drivers and tour guides. Especially in recent years, due to the rise of e-commerce, many young people began to take this road and send many special products of Bati Village to other places.
It is also because of the rise of that highway that it is much more convenient for villagers to shop.
In order to meet the actual needs of villagers and tourists, the village has also set up a bank service point where many villagers and tourists can withdraw money and transfer money. In the past, these businesses had to be handled outside the village.
The great convenience brought by transportation has been felt by all villagers, and many enterprises have smelled business opportunities and started to invest in Shenlong Bay. Changchun Eurasia Group landed in Shenlong Bay, intending to carry out in-depth development of the scenic spot, which has a far-reaching impact.
Zhou told several media friends: "Now there are more than 90 farmhouses and supermarkets in the village, which have solved the employment problem of 450 people, and the income of villagers from the tourism service industry has exceeded 1 10,000 yuan."
With this road, all the problems that plagued the people in the past have been solved. With this road, the remote villages that were neglected in the past gradually gained popularity and became "the punching place among network celebrities". Those poor people who have nowhere to go have picked up the "golden rice bowl".
This road is also connected to the well-off road in Zhandi Village.
