Located in the northwest of Hezhang County, Hezhen Yi and Miao Township is the most remote township with the highest average elevation in Hezhang County. The mountains are ten thousand heavy, which once sealed the poor fate of the people in Hezhen, but more importantly, they gave the people in Hezhen the courage to forge ahead and the resilience to self-reliance. And this is the beginning of great changes.

   Nirvana of Haique: From Bitter to Linmao and Liangfeng

From fork fork house, thatched house, earth wall house to northwest Guizhou style homestay, the forest coverage rate has increased from 5% to 77.21%, and the per capita net income of the whole village has increased from 33 yuan in 1985 to 16200 yuan in early 2020. The "sea bird" has become a vivid interpretation of poverty alleviation and ecological construction in Bijie pilot area, and the spirit of cultural prosperity continues to shine in the new era 。

The mountains wake up: from nothing to thriving industry

Based on the advantages of resources and brands, Hezhen Township plans the arable land available in the whole township, focusing on the development of characteristic industries with quick results and good returns such as planting potatoes, vegetables, edible fungi, high-quality fruits, and traditional Chinese medicine. Establish poverty alleviation industrial parks, speed up the adjustment of rural industries and economic structure, transform poor households into workers, and turn waste land into a "cornucopia".

  People to people: from "chicken flying and dog jumping" to living and working in peace and contentment

Hequ Kui Highway, Mulan Avenue, Tongcun Road, Tongzuo Road... set up a traffic pattern of Hezhen Township with internal and external connections and a network of roads. The relocation of 3463 people and the reconstruction of 4630 dilapidated houses have been completed, so as to build a beautiful home for people to settle down. The standardized modern campus cuts down the roots of poverty, and the bright sound of books eliminates the background of poverty.

The sky is far-reaching and the years are rich. Hezhen has been reborn in the silent flow of time. This is the answer given back to Dashan by the people on this land.
