Liushi Town is located in the west-central part of Hengnan County. It was formed by the merger of the three original townships of Suzhou, Longque and Gushan. It has jurisdiction over 43 villages and 2 neighborhood committees, with a total population of 42,000. The town borders Chejiang to the east, Maoshi to the west, Lijiang to the south, and Lianzhou City to the north, with a total area of ??120 square kilometers.
Liushi Town is only 30 kilometers away from Hengyang City. However, before 2003, the traffic in the town was still very congested and it was extremely inconvenient for villagers to travel. There was not a single industrial enterprise in the town, and the per capita net income of farmers was less than 1,500. yuan/year. If you want to be rich, build roads first. Liushi Town seized the opportunity of the implementation of the national "Village Access Project", and the town leaders went all out to run the project and compete for funds. Town Party Committee Secretary Wang Wencheng and Town Mayor Jiang Pinghui organized a road construction donation mobilization meeting and took the lead in donating money. They led teams to Guangzhou, Changsha, Beijing and other places many times to request relevant units, bosses developing abroad, and talented people in society to donate funds. Hard work pays off. Today, within the town, the Nanxiangpu-Gushan-Liushi-Lijiang Highway runs from north to south, and the Chejiang-Liushi Highway runs from east to west, all of which are hardened. The reconstruction and hardening of the Liushi-Maoshi Highway also started at the beginning of the year. While completing the hardening of 11 kilometers of roads in the town, we also actively organized the implementation of the road smoothing project leading to villages. Now 22 villages have completed the hardening of roads leading to villages, with a total mileage of 33 kilometers. In 2006, eight more villages in the town are stepping up the implementation of the hardening project of roads leading to the villages. In recent years, the town's supporting funds for highway construction have reached more than 7 million yuan. The road leads to wealth. The soil in Suushi Town is fertile and it is a good place for the production of green food and deep processing of agricultural products. Its eight major agricultural products, including bamboo, camellia oil, chestnut, red grapes, fresh fish, Hunan yellow chicken, honey, and high-quality rice, are gradually becoming popular in the market. Agricultural product bases such as ti, bayberry, greenhouse vegetables, and large farmers have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. In 2006, the Provincial Xinyi Forestry Company built an industrial raw material forest base of 3,500 acres in the town, which effectively promoted the conversion of farmland into forests and the construction of fruit trees in the town. Before 2005, there was no industrial enterprise in the town. After the formation of a large-scale transportation structure, the town's investment prospects are promising. Seven companies, including Liuyang Fireworks Factory, Hongxing Smelting Factory, Xusheng Chemical Industry, and Bailian Copper, have settled in the town. , the rich mineral resources of gold, copper, iron, coal and other mineral resources in the territory have attracted investors in droves. Major transportation is ushering in great development. In the past few years, the area of ??small towns in Suzhou has tripled, farmers' net income has increased by an average of 30% annually, and people's material life and spiritual outlook have undergone great changes.
