“Water surrounds the fields , bamboo surrounds the fence, the elm seeds have fallen and the hibiscus flowers are sparse”, “There are three or two branches of peach blossoms outside the bamboo, and the ducks know the spring river water is warm first”… Such beautiful scenery of villages and towns often makes the wanderers feel homesick, and the land-based survival support remains unchanged from time immemorial.
In order to promote industrial innovation and prosperity and help the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas, the 2024 Rural Revitalization and Industrial Development Conference and the Most Beautiful Towns and Villages Awards Ceremony were held on the banks of the Huangpu River on December 12. Town and village representatives from more than 20 provinces and cities across the country, as well as overseas town and village representatives and more than 30 media representatives attended the conference to discuss the experience, paths and methods of “revitalizing the power of revitalization and painting the future of rural areas”. The “China’s Most Beautiful Towns and Villages Selection” event has been held for 12 consecutive years, and has explored various paths for rural development and rural revitalization.
These villages and towns in Lishui have been rated as “the most beautiful villages and towns in China”. Is your hometown one of them?
