Jiangxi Wan'an has stepped from "ecological good" to "ecological +"
The sea of bamboo, the ginkgo biloba for thousands of years, above the high ridge, the tired bird returns... Gaoling Suji Scenic Area in Wan'an County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province recently held the "Millennium Ginkgo Biloba Meets Kaolin" Douyin Short Video Photo Contest, attracting tourists from all over the country to come here, and the popularity of ecological tourism is heating up again.
In recent years, Wan'an County has taken the initiative to integrate into the construction of the ecological and economic belt in the middle reaches of the Ganjiang River, explored a new path for the transformation of the "two mountains", and made every effort to promote the development of "ecological good" to "ecological +".
Ecological governance, planting development advantages
At the beginning of 2023, the Eighteen Beach Cultural Park in Wan'an County, with a total investment of 260 million yuan, will be opened to the public. Since then, Wan'an County has added a new area of common prosperity and shared city, and the people have another leisure and entertainment resort.
"The construction of the Eighteen Tan Cultural Park has greatly improved the ecological environment of the county, improved the quality of life of the masses, and enhanced the people's sense of gain and happiness for the beautiful ecological environment." Fang Chongning, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Wan'an Ecological Environment Bureau, said.
Relying on the unique advantages of ecological resources, Wan'an County highlights the three key points of the county, polder town and park, keeps and makes good use of the clear water of Wan'an Lake and Xin'an Lake, deeply integrates the unique elements of eighteen beach culture and food culture, and builds the most beautiful landscape shoreline of the "two rivers and four banks" of the Ganjiang River and Suichuan River with high standards, so that the masses can see the mountains, see the water, and remember the nostalgia. We will further promote the creation of beautiful towns, villages and courtyards in the whole region, invest 480 million yuan to improve the urban and rural water environment, and create "five beautiful" villages in the new era. Upgrading and transforming provincial-level recycling transformation parks and provincial-level green parks, promoting material integration, water system integration and energy integration, adding 30,000 tons of daily sewage treatment capacity, and creating a green park with harmonious symbiosis and industry-city integration.
The ecological environment should not only be "managed" but also strictly "managed". Wan'an County coordinates the law enforcement forces of seven departments, including public security, ecology and environment, water conservancy, and natural resources, and establishes a comprehensive law enforcement mechanism of "ecological guards", promotes the transformation from "each in charge" to "in charge together", and promotes ecological and environmental protection in an integrated manner.

The water quality compliance rate of county-level centralized drinking water sources reached 100%; The forest coverage rate is stable at more than 71.81%, and 11 townships including Wushu Township, Baoshan Township and Gaopi Town have been rated as provincial-level ecological townships, and Tianbeihua Village in Gaopi Town has been rated as a provincial-level low-carbon community.
Policy support to promote green development
In the early winter, walking in the land of Wan'an, I saw that there were lush bamboos growing everywhere here, one after another, one after another, full of mountains and slopes, and there was no edge in sight.
Bamboo is a unique endowment given by nature to Wan'an County. Fang Chongning introduced that Wan'an County relies on 365,000 acres of rich and high-quality bamboo resources in the whole territory, and has set up a special fund of 16 million yuan for the bamboo industry to build the city's first bamboo science and technology industrial park, forming a "one-stop" industrial chain from planting, processing, sales to R&D and innovation.
Up to now, Wan'an County has developed 35 sophisticated bamboo and wood processing enterprises, the annual output value of the bamboo industry has exceeded 600 million yuan, and the bamboo industry employs more than 30,000 people. "Making a bamboo into a characteristic industry and enriching the people is the result of Wan'an County's deepening of the value transformation of ecological resources." The person in charge of Wan'an County Liangshan Resources Holding Co., Ltd. said.
In 2021, Wan'an County took the lead in establishing the "Two Mountains" Transformation Center in the city, established Two Mountains Resources Holding Co., Ltd., invested more than 600 yuan to build a "Two Mountains" resource intelligent management platform, and learned from the method of "decentralized input and centralized output" to carry out large-scale collection and storage, professional integration and market-oriented operation of fragmented ecological resources, transform ecological resources into high-quality assets, and strive to open up a "two mountains" transformation channel of "resources-assets-capital-capital".
In addition, Wan'an County also actively explores the trading model of energy use rights, carbon emission rights, pollutant discharge rights, and water rights, promotes the equity, securitization, securitization, and fundization of ecological resources, and creates 9 ecological financial products in 4 categories, and at the end of the third quarter, the county's green loan balance increased by 925 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 32.5%.
With policy support, the primary, secondary and tertiary industries in Wan'an County are advancing and transforming to "green".

Industrial integration to open up the "two mountains" channel
"Blue sky, clear water, green mountains, now the environment is getting more and more beautiful, as soon as I leave the house, I walk into the park, it's so happy." Ms. Tu, a resident of Wan'an County, is full of praise for the changes in the ecological environment around her.
Not only the locals praise it, but also the outsiders. Mr. Zhuang, a tourist from Foshan, Guangdong, said: "The scenery here is beautiful and picturesque, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the air is sweet, and it is pleasing to the eye. ”
Relying on good mountains, good water and good air, Wan'an County anchors the goal of building a "back garden" in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and builds "five new projects" such as Wan'an Lake, Red Luotang, Baijia Old Street, Shaokou Dragon Boat Culture, and Gaoling Suji Phase III, and makes every effort to revitalize the "five old projects" such as Tianbei Painting Village, Shaping Peixi, Film and Television City, Flower World, and Guiao Flower Town, and successfully launches four tourism boutique routes of "Red Tour, Cultural Tour, Leisure Tour, and Tip of the Tongue Tour", creating a one-hour "tourism circle" in the county, and stabilizing Wan'an people's visit to Wan'an. Attract people from other places to visit Wan'an, make the eco-tourism economy prosperous, and promote the "beautiful scenery" to the "beautiful economy".
At present, Wan'an County has successfully created 7 national 3A-level tourist attractions and 8 provincial 3A-level rural tourism spots, with a forest landscape utilization area of more than 380,000 mu in the county, and the tourism quality has been continuously improved and the product supply has been continuously enriched.
Ecological advantages have become development advantages, and the "money bags" of the masses have been mobilized. "I don't have to go out to work, I can earn money at home." Li Juxiang, a villager in Gaoling Village, Wufeng Town, said. In recent years, she has opened a homestay in the village to make local specialties, with an annual net income of more than 10 yuan.
"In the first three quarters of 2023, the county received a total of 8.414 million tourists, a year-on-year increase of 42.92%, and a comprehensive tourism income of 6.889 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.17%." Xie Qingming, director of the Wan'an County Culture, Broadcasting and New Tourism Bureau, said happily.
Pursuing "green" and turning "green" into gold, Wan'an County has stepped from "ecological good" to "ecological +", opened up a two-way transformation channel of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", and promoted high-quality economic and social development.
