Into the town of Ping An Honggu District, if even the village, clean cement road through the doorstep of farmers; White-walled adobe dwellings are clustered; The sewage treatment station humming at the entrance of the village. "Before, the village's roads were difficult to walk and the rain was covered with mud. Now, the roads are very clean. Every house has flowers planted in front and back of the house. It's easier to live than in the city!" Cao Yuqin, a villager, smiled and said that this year she also made "micro-renovations" to her family's old house, which not only looks good, but also is safer to live in, and life gets more hopeful.

　　The changes in Ruolian Village benefited from the in-depth advancement of the construction of the demonstration zone for rural revitalization in Honggu District. "Since the beginning of this year, we have focused on 'Eight Beauties' and promoted the construction of 'Golden Peace' demonstration belt by adhering to the idea of 'Donggong, Zhongshang and Xinong'. We have completed 38 key projects with a total investment of over 58 million yuan." Liang Tingting, deputy secretary of the Party committee of Ping An town, said that Ruolian village not only built a thousand mu vegetable industrial park and ecological health resort, but also completed the infrastructure of water, electricity, road and network. According to reports, Ping'an Town has also completed the village of vegetable storage sorting center and other five collective economic projects, the village is expected to increase the collective economy of about 100 thousand yuan per year. Enterprises such as the Redan Paper Industry have enabled more than 1,500 people in the surrounding area to find jobs close to home. "We have also made 'micro-renovation' to the houses of 1,350 villagers, planting more than 100 thousand trees and shrubs, in order to make the village livable and suitable for business." Liang Tingting said that in the next step, Ping An will combine industrial development, urbanization and rural revitalization. Through the construction of rural revitalization demonstration belt in Honggu District, the "strong industrial town" brand will be polished brighter. The development changes in rural areas demonstrate the strength and strength of local economic development.

　　Since the beginning of this year, Honggu District has consolidated the achievements of the "Vegetable Fragrance Village" demonstration belt and promoted the construction of two new demonstration belts, namely "Golden Ping An" and "Hehuang Dragon City." Special plans and implementation schemes have been worked out. Through the model of "government special bonds + private capital + fiscal awards," 78.0221 million yuan has been integrated to promote the construction of 66 projects. All construction has been started and 45 projects have been completed. In the area of human settlements, we have advanced the "3331" critical action, cleared 5,528 places of debris, demolished and unbuilt, constructed 1,210 "little gardens," and covered Zhangjiajie and Ruolian villages with a sewerage network. At the same time, efforts to accelerate industrial development, 230. million yuan of agricultural projects landed, the region's agricultural area facilities exceeded 10,000 mu; The "second round of contract extension" in rural reform has been carried out steadily, and the turnover of property rights has reached 22.96 million yuan, double that of last year.

　　The transformation of grassroots rural areas is not an isolated case. As a "village within a scenic area" in Lanzhou's Watercolor Danxia Scenic Area, Xixue Village in Shuping Town, Yongdeng County, has also taken advantage of the momentum generated by the construction of the rural demonstration belt to improve its infrastructure and expand its industries. "We plan to completely renovate the village's sewage and water supply networks, bury both the strong and weak electric power lines underground, and then pave the areas in front and behind the villagers' houses and plant trees. This will make the village not only clean and beautiful but also functional," said Ju Yupeng, Party Secretary of Xixue Village. "We will also encourage and guide villagers to develop homestays and rural inns, and establish a processing factory for apricot products. By leveraging the advantages of the thousands of acres of apricot orchards, visitors will be able to enjoy various activities such as sightseeing, dining, and purchasing local specialties. This will truly transform 'scenery' into 'cash flow'."

　　Through interviews, it was learned that the Lanzhou Municipal Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has planned 15 rural revitalization demonstration belts in Yongdeng County, focusing on areas such as the Datong River Basin and Danxia Scenic Area. This year, efforts will be concentrated on advancing the construction of three demonstration belts: "Mushu Danxia," "Long Ying Qingquan," and "Organic Datong." It is understood that Yongdeng County has established a "leader-in-charge" mechanism, where 27 county-level leaders and 27 departments are responsible for overseeing 27 villages. Three supervision and assistance teams will follow the construction progress closely. Meanwhile, to fully leverage the county's resource advantages, a state-of-the-art factory for pre-packaged beef noodle soup has been established and is scheduled for trial operation at the end of June. The factory is expected to generate a yearly output value of 2 billion RMB. Additionally, 4,630 steel frame greenhouses and a 520-acre bean sprout base produce over 9,500 tons of organic fruits and vegetables annually, which has helped more than 100 people increase their annual income by more than 20,000 RMB.

　　The transformation of grassroots rural areas is a microcosm of the construction of the rural revitalization demonstration belt in Lanzhou City. Since the beginning of this year, Lanzhou City has taken the construction of the demonstration belt as its overall approach, focusing on "Eight Beauties," making good use of "Four Articles," and implementing 802 projects. As a result, the rural living environment has become increasingly beautiful, rural industries have become stronger, farmers' wallets have become fatter, and rural governance has improved significantly.
