The waterwheel keeps turning, and the cicadas' chirp accompanied by the rich rice fragrance announces the harvest of autumn grains. Yangfang Village, Taipan Township, Taijiang County, is known as the back garden of "Village BA" because it is close to Taipan Village, the birthplace of "Village BA", and has a pleasant environment near mountains and rivers.

　　

Recently, I walked into Yangfang Village, Taipan Township, Taijiang County. Beside the wide rice fields, there are beautiful rural landscapes composed of small western-style buildings. The village is built along the river. The clear river makes everyone who passes by stop and play unconsciously.

In 2022, with the popularity of the "village BA", Yangfang Village will also welcome a large number of tourists. By actively practicing the development concept of adapting measures to local conditions and following the trend, the village focuses on the development of camping, ecological restaurants, characteristic farmhouses, home stays and other business forms, and provides the tourism supporting service experience of "accommodation and travel", which is popular with tourists.

　　

"Recently, the weather is hot, so I took my children to play in the water. Yangfang came here in the past years, driving for only half an hour. In recent years, a lot of infrastructure has been added, and the experience has been better, and he will often come here in the future." Mr. Pan, who lives in Kaili, told reporters.

In the past, Yangfang Village was just a small mountain village with pleasant scenery. Due to the lack of effective tourism development and resource investment, the economic benefits were not significant. Now, relying on the integrated development of agriculture, culture and tourism, the number of agritainments in the village has reached 20. According to the data, more than 50000 diners have been successfully attracted to taste food this year, demonstrating its strong attraction as the back garden of the "village BA".

　　

In addition, Yangfang Village is also a model of "rice+fishing" comprehensive planting and breeding model in Taijiang County.

Because Taijiang County is located in the Miaoling Mountains, its Miao population accounts for more than 98%. Limited by natural conditions, the local per capita cultivated land area is less than one mu. In order to make more rational use of the limited land resources, the Miao people have adopted a more efficient ecological agricultural model - rice field fish farming. This harmonious symbiosis of rice and fish not only effectively improves the efficiency of land use, but also carries the local traditional agricultural wisdom and ecological balance for thousands of years.

　　

In the past two years, in order to further improve the comprehensive production of "rice+fish", Taijiang County has actively improved the traditional rice varieties and continuously improved the refined management level of rice field fish farming. Because of its unique geographical advantages, Yangfang Village will become one of the villages in the county to develop experimental fields in 2022, with an average rice yield of 651.58 kg per mu, which will further improve the economic benefits of rice fields, and at the same time, it will more skillfully integrate the characteristic ecological landscape into it. It will continue to expand hiking, flower watching, home stay experience, and farmhouse entertainment consumption, realizing a win-win situation between natural beauty and economic benefits.

In 2023, Taijiang County will take Taipan, Yangfang and other villages as a pilot, adhere to the "digital intelligence" platform empowerment, and solidly promote the construction of the "one-stop" rural convenience service network (hereinafter referred to as "Zhai Fuyi Point") of "three community joint construction, Zhai Fuyi Point", so as to open up the "last mile" of serving the masses and activate the new momentum of rural revitalization.

　　

Since its operation in May 2023, Yangfang Village's "Zhai Fuyi Point" has brought great convenience to the villagers in terms of express business, agricultural product sales services, financial services, etc. After the establishment of the post station, it has successfully helped the villagers to sell special agricultural products such as fish kiss fragrant rice, rice flower field fish, and morel fungus, achieving the goal of increasing income.

This series of changes not only made Yangfang Village a beautiful scenic spot on the bank of the Barra River, but also brought tangible economic benefits to the villagers. According to Yang Jinhua, director of the Yangfang Village Committee, the per capita annual income of the village has jumped from less than 2000 yuan in the past to more than 4000 yuan today, and the living standard has significantly improved.
