As one of the first batch of national digital village pilot counties, since 2020, Fuchuan Yao Autonomous County in Hezhou City, Guangxi has proactively embraced digital technology transformation. With innovation-driven development at its core, it has comprehensively strengthened top-level design and overall planning, and continuously increased the input of fiscal funds. We will further promote the digital and intelligent transformation in areas such as rural infrastructure, modern agricultural development, rural governance systems, and people's livelihood service guarantees.
In recent years, Chashan Village, the first village to enter Guangxi along the Xiaohe Ancient Road, has seized the opportunity of the Internet and live-streaming e-commerce, implemented the "e-commerce for All" strategy, continuously developed new business forms such as Internet marketing, live-streaming sales, and rural tourism to increase income and achieve prosperity, and formed a new model of integrated development of agriculture, culture and tourism featuring "industry + e-commerce + tourism".
In Chashan Village, in the first "5G+ Digital Village" exhibition hall in Hezhou, which was created by relevant departments, the big data screen on the wall is real-time flashing an analysis of the sources of tourists. Among them, tourists from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area account for 38%. The "slow live streaming" run by the village collective focuses its camera on the wind and rain bridge and the rice fields, attracting an average of 30,000 netizens to "tour" online every day. Today, in Chashan Village, the e-commerce street gathers over 30 shops. Agricultural products are sold all over the country through live streaming on mobile phones, truly achieving the goal of "linking a big market with a small screen".
With the continuous rise in brand awareness, Chashan Village has transformed from a former "cow dung street" into a popular check-in village. It receives 600,000 tourists annually and generates tourism value of 8 million yuan. By 2024, the per capita income of the village will exceed 33,000 yuan.
In the "Fuwang Shulian · Chuansuo Good Governance" initiative implemented in Fuchuan, Lixin Community of Fuyang Town, relying on the digital village construction platform, has built the Lixin Community Smart Management Platform and innovatively introduced a closed-loop service model of "residents placing orders, grid dispatching orders, Party members accepting orders, departments closing orders, and communities evaluating orders".
Since the platform was developed, it has handled a total of 128 matters for the public, including the construction of rain shelters, with a closed-loop completion rate of 100%. Five joint meetings were held, over 20 issues were discussed, and 17 problems were resolved. More than 80 distinctive service activities such as giving out Spring Festival couplets and civilized practice activities were carried out. Ten "Micro Wishes" were led, and three public welfare night schools were held. The efficiency of grassroots governance has been effectively enhanced. Nowadays, this governance model has been replicated and promoted in all 8 urban communities of the county, making a "Fuchuan exploration" for solving the problems of grassroots governance.
In the seedling greenhouses of the modern facility vegetable industrial park in Chaoyang Village, Fuyang Town, modern mechanical technology, electronic technology and computer technology are integrated, which can realize the entire process of automated production from seeds to mature seedlings. It can precisely complete a series of key seedling operations such as sowing, watering, fertilizing and pest and disease control, greatly improving the seedling efficiency. The survival rate of seedlings can reach over 95%.
It is reported that the industrial park is equipped with the most advanced fully automatic tidal logistics seedbed seedling raising equipment in China. It uses a series of high-end technologies such as AI intelligent spider gripper for seedling raising, and at the same time adopts green energy technologies such as automatic supplementary lighting and waste heat recovery. Compared with traditional greenhouses, it saves 30% of energy and reduces the carbon footprint per unit of crop by 60%.
With the rapid development of digital agriculture, Fuchuan has currently built over 2,900 mu of solar greenhouses, introduced two leading enterprises, and established a development model of "company + base + farmers", injecting strong impetus into the local agricultural industry and driving more nearby residents to find jobs nearby.
Today, Fuchuan is making every effort to build a digital ecosystem covering the entire area, resonating with the world through digital networks, and painting a magnificent picture of a strong agriculture, beautiful countryside and prosperous farmers for the people of the Yao ethnic group in the new era.
