Beautiful countryside, Qitang Town's Green Revolution

Join our presenter James as he explores the remarkable transformation of Qitang Town in Bishan District, Chongqing. Once known for its leather shoe industry and environmental challenges, Qitang Town has undergone a stunning metamorphosis through rural revitalization efforts.

Discover how the town has shifted from leather shoe manufacturing to sustainable agriculture and vibrant tourism. James takes us to the newly completed Yunwu Huajian Beautiful Bashu Courtyard, just an hour's drive from downtown Chongqing. This scenic spot now offers seasonal fruit picking, local cuisine, idyllic landscapes, and unique B&B experiences, attracting visitors from far and wide.

The integration of agriculture and tourism has revitalized Qitang Town's economy. The Bibei River Waterfront Trail connects key rural attractions like the Kingdom of Insects, Four Season Orchard, and Lianhuaxue Art Courtyard, creating a thriving cluster of agricultural and tourism activities.

The Lianhuaxue Art Courtyard, featuring theaters, galleries, libraries, and sculptures, has become a cultural hub, drawing tourists with activities like animal feeding and traditional crafts experiences.

The success of projects like Yunwu Huajian has significantly boosted local farmers' incomes, with over 300,000 visits and an increase in agricultural product sales by over 20 million yuan. This initiative has also encouraged youth to return home and start businesses, enriching the local community.

Chongqing's efforts in rural revitalization align with General Secretary Xi Jinping's vision for developing unique agricultural products and rural tourism. By preserving traditional villages and constructing Beautiful Bashu Courtyard demonstration areas, Chongqing aims to enhance rural living standards and foster community prosperity.

Join us on this journey of transformation and discover how Qitang Town is building a beautiful countryside for a brighter future.
