Fanjiamen is the highest village in the depths of Songshan Mountain. Before I came here, I thought that the mountain road into the village was rugged and steep, full of vegetation, and there were some people scattered in large and small valleys. However, when driving along the wide, flat and winding mountain road to the entrance of the village, the initial feeling was quickly subverted. Wandering among them, the green hills are full of birds and flowers, one step at a time, like traveling in a world of pictorial.
Why are there so many surprises and surprises in Fanjiamen? At the beginning of July, on a scorching day, the author was lucky enough to come to Fanjiamen and found the answer from the hung red slogan, that is, "party flag fluttered in the mountain village, party member flashed in the post, and the masses sang in happiness", from which I learned that the village had made unremitting efforts to realize the great wish of "beautiful countryside, everyone is rich".
First of all, I came to the "Lailong Cave", which is a cave nearly 1300m long, about several hundred million years ago. All kinds of stalactites, some like turtles, some like elephants, some like birds. Nine dragons run through the cave, hence the name "Lailong Cave". The narrow place is a gap between two mountains, which can be crossed by one person. Spacious place, like a hall with many people. It's amazing how clever nature is, and everything is arranged just right. Today, it is open to the outside world, attracting tourists from outside. According to the villagers, it was just a small hole at first. I tried to dig, but the deeper I dug, the more surprised I was. Finally, I dug a super-large cave. The village Committee took advantage of this advantage. After transformation and tourism development, the villagers have a way to get rich. Some opened a canteen at the mouth of the cave, some worked as tour guides to explain the beautiful scenery in the cave, and some built tourism infrastructure on the hillside ... to change the days of idleness and poverty in the past.
Out of the hole, I saw a transparent high-altitude glass bridge, high between two mountains. I immediately thought of Mao Zedong's poem "A bridge flies north and south, and the natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare". Standing on the bridge, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery in 360 degrees without dead ends. While enjoying the scenery and taking photos, I was amazed at the introduction of high technology into the originally poor mountain village, which opened my eyes. The blue and clear glass blends with the mountains, and walking on it is like stepping into the clouds, which is thrilling. Some children are running and playing curiously, and some young girls are shaking their legs and slowly groping their way with their eyes closed. More people are comfortable to experience the feeling of walking on clouds.
Next, we came to Heilaopogou, North Slope Group 1, Tian Xin Depression and so on. These places are quaint and natural, and they are full of charm. The winding mountain road is full of flowers, and sunflower flowers stand on both sides, smiling brightly and welcoming humbly; Different colors of autumn, English and bright eyes convey feelings, red, white and pink flowers are lovely, and release a touch of pleasant fragrance. I stood at the highest point and looked around. The lush mountains are displayed to people in the most majestic manner, and they are full of vitality. Village cadres said that in addition to planting oak trees, there are pine and cypress, locust and so on. Fruit trees such as apricot, pear, walnut, apple, peach, mulberry and hawthorn are also planted in the shallow mountainous area here, with a forest coverage rate of 65%, blooming in three seasons and evergreen in four seasons. But a few decades ago, Fanjiamen was a poor village at the provincial level, with high altitude, impassable roads and difficult draught. Most villagers are not allowed to go out or go down the mountain and eat by the mountain. All the stones and trees have become tools to make money, and even the low Vitex negundo has been cut down and woven into hedges. Not only is the income meager, but there are also problems such as unreasonable industrial structure and seriously lagging industrial development. How to make the people in the mountains embark on the road to wealth? Fanjiamen Village Committee boldly made the "three prohibitions" decision of banning mining, logging and grazing more than ten years ago. The land and houses on the mountain have entered the cooperative, and the land has not only returned farmland to forests, but also planted cash crops. All projects have dividends at the end of the year, which greatly improves the living standards of villagers.
Full of green, a mountain trail, is full of exotic flowers and herbs. Can we miss the good scenery? I slowed my steps. Go to the dustpan spring and apply a clear spring to your face; Stay under a peach tree and pick fresh peaches to eat. Peaches are crisp and sweet, much more delicious than those bought in the supermarket. It seems to have been nourished by mountains, and it has a special taste. When I came to a farmhouse, I saw an old woman peeling almonds. Yes, it is said that there are many apricot trees in the mountains, and almonds have good medicinal value. The village committee specially organizes people to buy almonds for export. Although I am old, I can do what I can. I can subsidize my family with an extra income.
Under the shade of green trees, there is an ancient village, where stone houses, stone walls, stone jars and mortar can be seen everywhere. The walls of the house are solid stones and the roof is thinner stones. This kind of house is made of local materials, inexpensive, warm in winter and cool in summer, and does not leak rain. Very practical. The steps are covered with moss, and wormwood is deep in the yard. The ancient house proves the long history of Fanjiamen. The local people say that this house has a history of 100 years. I touched the wall and couldn't help feeling deeply. With the change of time, no matter whether it is prosperous or lonely, what is left is a sigh. Fortunately, the village committee will transform the old house into a homestay, take the "mountain living experience" as the core, follow the concept of "return, simple living and ecology", and integrate resources such as characteristic mountain living environment, characteristic stone kiln community and adobe building community to create a deep mountain living experience tour project. Looking forward to a new look!
On the way back, I took another look at the Millennium walnut tree. When she came, she extended a long arm to warmly welcome her; When I left, I reluctantly tried my best to stay. This tree has experienced the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and is the most powerful witness of the years. Past and present are two worlds. Decades ago, there were no roads and electricity, and some villagers never walked out of the mountains. Now the power grid has gone up the mountain, the Xingfuquan Reservoir has been built, and the relocation community with complete facilities has been built, so everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. My heart is filled with emotion, and I can't help singing poems to express my inner feelings: I am grateful for the party's good policies/welcome today's good times/the pockets of the villagers are bulging, and more deposits are made/it is not a dream for everyone to get rich/a happy and beautiful life is in my palm/the sweeter the days are, it is the wish of the people.
Fan jiamen paved a road to happiness for himself, and also gave tourists from other places a different happy experience. When he came here, he seemed to appreciate a three-dimensional mural hanging on Songshan Mountain with harmonious colors, and at the same time, he directly and vividly felt the infinite charm and physical and mental pleasure brought by the construction of beautiful countryside. I'm glad you came.
