Say goodbye to hard work. You can earn 30 thousand by opening a homestay in the peak season.
Lao Xie is an old miner who has worked for 20 years. He introduced that 1979 started to work as a miner, and quit the industry around 2000 because of age, danger and other factors. Fu Ruoqiang, the son-in-law, was also a miner until the local mine closed on 20 17.
Like Lao Xie Wengxu, being a miner was once a common choice for local people in Qingping Town, Mianzhu, because it was located at the foot of Jiuding Mountain in Longmen Mountain and was once a phosphate producing area for many years. Before 20 17, like most mining towns in China, mining and related work was one of the main employment choices for local people.
Lin Sen, deputy mayor of Qingping Town, told the Red Star journalist, "Before the mine was closed, 3/4 families in Qingping were engaged in mining, transportation and other related industries."
Because of mining, the whole town used to be dusty and the roads were often muddy.
After working for 20 years, the experience of miners has become the most unforgettable experience in Lao Xie's life. "No.850 Mine is the longest mine in Qingping." Xie Zhenghu, 69, recalled that he had worked as a miner in local coal mines and phosphate mines. He is not only hard, but also often meets with danger. Workers are often injured. "But for the livelihood of the family, only persistence."
Lao Xie said that it took two hours to walk from home to work at that time, and he went home a few days when he was busy. Most of his work was in the dark and humid underground.
It is the turning point that Lao Xie really "walked" from the underground to the ground on 20 17. His daughter Xie Fenchang told the Red Star journalist that after the closure of the 20 17 mine, the family had no source of income for the time being and began to try to be a tourist reception.
The Red Star journalist learned that in June, 2065438+2007, Mianzhu, Sichuan comprehensively cleaned up and rectified the exploration and mining rights of Jiudingshan Nature Reserve in Giant Panda National Park, and restored the ecological environment of the mining area. At that time, 43 mining rights rectification tasks were completed and 243 mines were closed.
Qingping Town happens to be in Jiuding Mountain Nature Reserve, at the "entrance" of Giant Panda National Park. The protection and utilization project of Giant Panda National Park has been implemented in Qingping Town, which is taking "fairy tale town" as the main line and preparing to build an important post station on another central axis tourist line of "Chengdu-Jiuzhaigou".
Lao Xie Jia chose to be a homestay by developing small town tourism. "While exploring, developing and investing, I invested more than 300,000 yuan to be a homestay." Xie Fenchang said that at first, only three rooms were arranged at home to open a homestay, and now there are three more rooms, one * * * six rooms and a coffee shop. Being a homestay in the peak season every year can increase the family's income by 30 thousand yuan. Now upgrade the construction, the income will also increase.
Xiejiaminsu is located in Group 2, Yanjing Village, Qingping Town, Mianzhu. Combined with family mining experience, around the theme of miners. "This is a miner-themed homestay, and I want visitors to experience the fun of being a miner." Speaking of this special design, Lao Xie was very happy and demonstrated the scene of pushing a mine car in the past.
"When the mine was not closed, Qingping was full of dust and mud. Now the ecology and environment are getting better, there are more wild animals and more tourists. " Xie Fenchang said.
Looking at his newly-built B&B compound, a bitter feeling. "You don't have to eat ash. Now your monthly income is much stronger than when you were a miner. "
② I used to go underground, but now I cook for tourists from time to time.
The daughter and son-in-law gave up their jobs and went home to repair 29 rooms.
Lao Xie is not the only miner's family that runs a homestay.
Lin Tianxing, a 67-year-old miner, and his daughter and son-in-law also returned to their hometown to open a homestay, which opened in June 2020. Previously, the couple had been working outside the home for over 10 years. "We have 29 rooms, and business is particularly good in summer." Lao Lin's daughter Yan said.
The development of returning home has also seen the changes and prospects of Qingping Town from a mining town to a tourist town. The Red Star journalist learned that after the mine was closed, Qingping Town accelerated its ecological construction while creating a landscape: closing mountains to facilitate afforestation of 3.33 square kilometers, with emphasis on pest control and forest fire prevention. Twenty sets of ecological monitoring systems and forest fire prevention early warning systems have been put into operation one after another ... The villagers gradually discovered that the water in the village has become clear, the trees are flourishing, the wild animals scared away by the mine auction have returned, and there are more fireflies in the valley.
Yan said that his father Lin Tianxing cooked a good dish. When the peak season arrives, the chefs invited at home are too busy to cook several famous farm dishes for tourists. Asked about the hotel's income, Lao Lin said with a smile: "In summer, it is sometimes necessary to book a few days in advance. Anyway, the income is considerable. "
Lin Tianxing is familiar with the clear mountains and rivers, and now he has another responsibility, patrolling the mountains.
On the morning of 65438+ 10 18, Lin Tianxing was patrolling the mountain. He introduced that the environment has improved in recent years. On the way to patrol the mountain, he often meets the national protected animals such as black bears and Tibetan Emirates monkeys. The local government gives him some symbolic subsidies every month, but in his view, it doesn't matter whether there is more money or less. "The main thing is that this is a meaningful thing, and it can also exercise. The environment is good, there are more tourists, and the hotel business is good! "
It has been three years since the mine was established, and the ecological environment in Qingping has gradually recovered. Every summer, fireflies spread all over ditches and valleys. The local government supports the collective economy of villages and towns to build sightseeing trains, transforms tents and homestays on wasteland, and transparent "bubble house" camping has become a punching place for online celebrities. Coupled with hundreds of colorful restaurants and homestays in the town, the reputation of "fairy tale town" spread like wildfire. "Summer is the peak season, but it is hard to find a room on weekends."
The daughter of the first miner who ate crabs.
With the ecological development of my hometown, I opened a homestay in the yard of ginkgo tree.
The first "crab-eating" homestay in Qingping Town is also the daughter of a miner.
Ma Xujun used to work in a media company in Deyang. Her father was a miner when he was young and retired from the mining industry after the mine was rectified.
In 20 17, Ma Xujun resolutely resigned and returned to Qingping, turning his house into a homestay, becoming the first local person to "eat crabs" and open a homestay.
The courtyard of Majia Minsu is dominated by ginkgo trees, and a large number of green plants are planted. Layers of green shade the B&B, echoing mountains, blue sky and white clouds. "Our selling point is good air and good environment. In summer, many parents take their children to escape the heat, and there are fewer people in other seasons. " Ma Xujun seldom publicizes his host family, but he has many repeat customers. Many guests will bring their friends back after coming once.
Today, her homestay has 28 rooms, which can bring more than 300,000 yuan in income every year. Ma Xujun said frankly that after the opening of Mian (Zhu) Mao (county) highway and the completion of the ice and snow town project, there will definitely be more tourists in the off-season.
Young Ma Xujun opened the "magic box" and started a homestay. Now homestays in Qingping Town have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. "Before 20 16 years ago, there were only 1 restaurants in Qingping Town. Now there are 120 restaurants with more than 600 tourists and more than 0/000 beds." Lin Sen, deputy mayor of Qingping Town, told the Red Star journalist that now the villagers' consciousness has changed, and they have taken the initiative to upgrade their houses and open homestays and farmhouses.
The local government also invited professional planners to design and build homestay projects such as Qiang and Han culture, farming culture, miners' experience and fairy tale theme for the villagers. "I have been to many small towns, and Qingping Town is very different." Mr. Liu, a tourist from Chengdu, said frankly that it is beautiful here, enjoying flowers and playing with snow in summer, which is not commercialized and suitable for travel and accommodation.
On 20 19, Qingping Town was rated as a national 4A scenic spot. That year, Qingping Town received 350,000 tourists and earned more than 50 million yuan. 2018-20120,000 will be distributed to the masses. At present, in Qingping Town, key tourism projects such as camping base, glass trestle and panda science education center are under construction. "The Panda Mission Center has been basically completed, and the next step will be to become a popular science education base. In addition, Kuanggou Village also plans to plant arrow bamboo and build a panda ecological corridor. " Lin Sen introduced.
The Red Star News reporter learned that recently, Qingping Town has also expanded the track to introduce a second sightseeing train, which will become a tourist ring road after completion, with a total mileage of 8 kilometers. Most of the drivers and employees of sightseeing trains are miners and their families. ...
