陽春三月,萬物復甦,生機盎然。在印江土家族苗族自治縣朗溪鎮萬畝石漠化公園內,桃花、李花、梨花競相綻放,石山上景美如畫,吸引了大批遊客紛至遝來,共同見證這自然與生態治理的奇跡。
The problem of rocky desertification in Langxi Town has a long history, and it was once a well-known "stone mountain" in the surrounding area. There is a local proverb: "Open up the wasteland to the edge, plant the land and plant the sky; Plant a large slope in the spring, and harvest a few small baskets in the autumn. This is not only a true portrayal of the hard work of local farmers but little harvest, but also a true reflection of the struggle of traditional agriculture to survive on this land.
In recent years, with the country's great attention to ecological governance and the implementation of a series of scientific governance measures, the problem of rocky desertification in Langxi Town has been effectively solved.
The former stone mountain has a new look. In the core areas of rocky desertification such as Hexi and Xipu, the villagers actively responded to the government's call and gradually changed the appearance of the land through measures such as cultivating soil and increasing land, returning farmland to forest, and planting greenery and protecting greenery. In the past, fruit trees were planted in the stone nest, which not only effectively curbed the spread of rocky desertification, but also brought ecological and economic benefits to the local area.
如今,1.2萬畝經果林覆蓋在曾經荒蕪的石頭山上,為這片土地披上了一層色彩繽紛的外衣,石漠化治理激發勃勃生機。
With the initial results of rocky desertification control, the local area has further innovated development ideas to build a rocky desertification ecological sports park. In the park, the rainbow road winds and turns, shuttling through the sea of flowers, providing a platform for visitors to get close to nature and feel the fruits of ecological governance. At the turn of spring and summer, peach blossoms, plum blossoms, and pear blossoms bloom one after another, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.
Tourists come in search of incense, or stroll on the rainbow road, or wander in the sea of flowers, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Photography enthusiasts are not far behind, picking up cameras and mobile phones to record the unique spring scenery from different angles. Under the lens, the plum blossoms of a tree are like white snow, and the clusters of peach blossoms are like pieces of rouge, forming a moving spring picture.
Chen Lidan, a tourist, said with emotion: "The spring here is full of purple and red, which forms an extreme contrast with the rocky desertification, giving people an upward force. I think this is the embodiment of the splendid rivers and mountains, the great rivers and mountains! Another tourist, Xu Amei, also said: "The beautiful weather and the beautiful scenery at this moment are really a little beautiful in spring." It's so beautiful to bring your family and friends along for the weekend! ”
The completion of the rocky desertification ecological sports park provides a good place for tourists to relax and vacation, and also injects new vitality into the development of the local rural tourism industry. Through the development of the "flower economy" and the "fruit of prosperity", the villagers have realized the vision of employment and income increase at their doorstep. Tian Maogang, a resident of Hexi Village, is one of the beneficiaries, "In the past, all of our places were stone nests, and after digging them out, each stone nest was planted with a fruit tree. Now, there are about three to four thousand acres of fruit forests planted in our village, and everyone benefits from the orchards. ”
The successful practice of rocky desertification control in Langxi Town has provided valuable ecological management experience for other townships. Adhering to the concept of ecological priority and green development, Yinjiang has continuously strengthened rocky desertification control and ecological protection, and strived to make this land more beautiful and rich. At the same time, relying on the ecological advantages of beautiful mountains and rivers, we will vigorously develop the rural tourism industry and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the local economy and society.
