At present, the epidemic is not over yet. Tourists from all over the world wear masks to enjoy the beautiful countryside and enjoy the different autumn charm.

　　 "The environment here is very beautiful, with many elements of sketching and rich composition." Liu Xinsheng, a watercolor painter who is over 80 years old, loves the mountains and rivers in Chaji Village. He comes to live in the village for half a year every year to find creative inspiration in the mountains and rivers and ancient villages.

　　 Chaji village is one of the largest existing ancient villages in Ming and Qing dynasties in China, and it is also a famous historical and cultural village in China. "Shilicha Village has nine miles of smoke, and Sanxi meets thousands of households; Under the shadow of the pavilion tower of the temple, the small bridge is flowing with apricot flowers. " The ancients once praised Chaji village so much.

　　 Good scenery brings good scenery. Ancient carvings, brick carvings, wood carvings, and natural beauty of the original ecology can be seen everywhere, providing many painting lovers with natural sketching places. Every year, Chaji Village attracts many painters and students to collect wind and sketch, becoming a veritable "painter village".

　　 Villagers who are used to digging in the soil have gradually eaten "tourist meals". Many villagers have transformed into farmhouses, providing meticulous and thoughtful accommodation services for painters, students and tourists who come here to paint and sketch, travel and sightseeing. Now, more than 200 homestays and farmhouses are blooming everywhere in Chaji Village.

　　 Relying on the advantages of resources, Chaji Village shares in the tourism development company with the whole ancient residential resources, and enjoys a dividend of 12% of the ticket income every year, which has promoted the collective economic development of the village and increased the income of the villagers. "After more than 10 years of development, villagers in Chaji Village have become the beneficiaries of tourism development. Many people in the village have built new houses and bought cars, and their lives are getting better and better. " Liu Xinsheng said.

　　 Keep the "green mountains and green hills" in exchange for "Jinshan Yinshan". On the afternoon of November 10th, in Aili Village, Yandun Town, Nanling County, Wuhu City, Anhui Province, villagers Yang Xinbing and his wife had just received a group of foreign tourists and were busy tidying up. Seeing someone coming in from afar, the couple quickly stopped what they were doing and greeted everyone.

　　 Aili Village is located at the southernmost tip of Wuhu City, surrounded by mountains, green water and mountains and rivers, and is known as "Shangri-La in southern Anhui". Beautiful natural scenery and profound cultural heritage have attracted countless tourists.

　　 In 2016, Yang Xinbing, a migrant worker, saw the prospect of tourism development in the village and returned to his hometown to start a farmhouse. "It’s better to be a boss at home and take care of your family." After work, Yang Xinbing also pounded up handicrafts. The artistic bamboo fence and interesting landscape waterwheel are all masterpieces of Yang Xinbing, which not only can earn extra money, but also make Yang Xinbing feel full of happiness.

The neat village appearance and beautiful natural landscape of Aili Village are integrated.

　　 "The most attractive thing about Aili Village is the original ecological scenery," said Wang Juan, deputy mayor of Yandun Town, Nanling County. "If you keep the green mountains and green hills, you will keep the most original ecological things, so that people in the city can fully feel the beauty of natural ecology."

　　 In recent years, Yandun Town adheres to the concept of "building a town by ecology and prospering the town by tourism" and strives to build an eco-tourism brand, which has laid a solid foundation for the development of rural tourism. Aili village takes the opportunity of beautiful rural construction to strengthen the improvement of human settlements, so that the clean village appearance and beautiful natural landscape can be integrated.

　　 Focusing on the development of characteristic rural tourism, Aili Village strives to build a rural tourism brand featuring pastoral scenery, local folk customs and traditional festivals. According to Wang Juan, in 2019, Yanli Village received more than 300,000 tourists from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui, and the collective economic income of the village exceeded 500,000 yuan. Rural tourism is becoming the "golden key" to open the door for villagers to get rich.

　　 In southern Anhui, there are many villages such as Chaji Village and Aili Village that develop rural tourism based on their respective geographical advantages and unique resource endowments, which not only make the villagers’ money bags richer, but also make the village appearance more tidy and orderly, and draw a new picture of beautiful countryside in the new era.
