CCTV News: The Central Document No. 1 of 2025 proposes to continue to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation, and make arrangements for developing rural characteristic industries and broadening channels for farmers to increase their income. It is now the season when rape flowers bloom in Yuleiping Village, Wen County, Longnan, Gansu. Wen County is located in the Qinba Mountains and is the earliest place for Gansu to usher in spring. However, the geographical conditions of large mountains and deep valleys have also made the local area a deeply impoverished county in the province for a time. Yuleiping Village is surrounded by mountains, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient. In 2020, the village was lifted out of poverty. In recent years, Yuleiping Village has consolidated and expanded the results of poverty alleviation through the agricultural and tourism industry. The village has become lively, the industry has flourished, and the villagers' income has also become higher.

Walk into Yuleping Village, Yulei Township, Wen County, the breath of spring came to your face. There is a bay of clear water in front of you, and rape flowers are spreading on the terraced fields behind you, and tourists are shuttled through the flower fields, and the fragrance of flowers is refreshing. Since early February, tourists have been visiting Yuleiping Village for a constant stream. Today, although it is drizzling, it is a different feeling to go out and enjoy the flowers in the rain. However, the appearance of Yuleiping Village ten years ago was very different. The muddy roads, scattered flower fields, and simple houses made the village pale.

Villager of Yuleiping Village, Yulei Township Yuan Shiming: In the past, Yuleiping had stone slab houses and tile houses. The road was dirt road, which was only more than 1 meter wide. It was just people and cattle and sheep, and there were no cement roads that are now. In the past, it was inconvenient to use water, so I used the water backrest. I made a bucket myself and I carried it on the water in the morning (from the bottom of the mountain) and carried it into my own tank. Now, the water, electricity and roads are all open.

Yulai Township, where Yuleiping Village is located, is located at the intersection of Bailong River and Baishui River. It has beautiful natural scenery and is known as the "throat of Longshu". There are mountains on both sides of the river, and the people of the 12 administrative villages in Yulei Township live on the mountain, and national and provincial highways also extend among the mountains. The geographical conditions of large mountains and deep valleys once restricted local development.

Yulai Township Party Committee Secretary Fang Wanru: The bottleneck restriction is our path. Through the strong support of the government in recent years, our path has now changed from 1.5 meters wide to 3.5 meters wide, and all of them have been hardened. We are thinking about developing the cultural and tourism industry in Yuleiping.

Now, in Yulei Township, a distinctive development path has been explored according to the characteristics of different villages. In Ranjia Village, a theme cultural square and theater for folk lantern opera were built, while Yuleiping Village where we are located has created a pastoral town integrating leisure and vacation, flower appreciation and health care, and cultural experience. There are both photo check-in places and cute pet paradise for children, forming a four-season experience of viewing flowers in spring, playing in the water in summer, listening to rain in autumn, and maintaining health in winter, allowing tourists to deeply experience the charm of pastoral countryside.

In the past two days, Yuleiping Village is busy renovating roads, and many homestays have become lively. In the new year, many villagers have also made new plans.

Villager of Yuleiping Village, Yulei Township Zhang Xuejun: Our village has beautiful natural scenery, so we thought of making good use of resources and using homestays as the main tourist stop for tourists. Tourists can not only enjoy the natural beauty here, but also taste our wild vegetables, as well as the native chickens and vegetables grown by our farmers themselves.

The popularity of rural tourism has driven hundreds of local villagers to find employment in homestays and Yulei tourist attractions, and the per capita annual income of tourism-related industries has reached 20,000 yuan. In addition to being ornamental, rapeseed flowers can also be used as oil to bring benefits to villagers.

The consolidation and expansion of the poverty alleviation achievements of Yuleiping Village is only a microcosm of Longnan City. As the main battlefield for the poverty alleviation in Gansu Province to connect rural revitalization, Longnan City regards the development of agricultural characteristic industries as the top priority. Each county and district have 2-3 leading industries with outstanding advantages. Through the radiation and driving of farmers' professional cooperatives, nearly 350,000 poverty-stricken households have been covered, and the benefits of connecting farmers and leading farmers have been further highlighted.
