2025-02-26

The mountains are lush and verdant, waterfalls fall into the forest, characteristic homestays are built along the lake, and tourist buses shuttle back and forth - this is Shangjiupi Village in Paitan Town, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. The "Caishi Village", which used to be littered with abandoned mines, has now become a "beautiful leisure village in China" crowded with tourists. Fashion beauty, biomedicine, medical equipment and other health industries converge, and living facilities such as subways, schools, and hospitals are readily available - this is Zhongluotan Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou. The once chaotic village level industrial park has transformed into a modern industrial city that is livable and suitable for business. Starting from the end of 2022, Guangdong will deploy and implement the "Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, and Ten Thousand Villages High Quality Development Project" (hereinafter referred to as the "Hundred Thousand Thousand Thousand Project"), striving to promote coordinated development between urban and rural areas. As the provincial capital city, Guangzhou regards the "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project" as the "number one project" for "secondary entrepreneurship" and an important carrier for expanding the depth of high-quality development strategy, and comprehensively carries out the "Strong District, Promoting Town, and Leading Village" action. Forging the "potential board" for development and activating new driving forces for economic growth. In promoting the "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project", Guangzhou closely focuses on the layout of industrial development, adheres to the "one district, one policy" and "one town (street), one plan", and has vast rural areas such as Baiyun, Huadu, Zengcheng, Conghua, etc., landing major projects, cultivating characteristic industries, and creating a demonstration zone for urban-rural integrated development. The White Narcissus Waterfall cascades straight down, the clear and winding river water, and the Zengjiang River outlines a 40 kilometer long gallery with mountains and waters as ink... In the Guangzhou area, which is a leading area for high-quality development in towns and villages around Nankunshan and Luofushan County, beautiful scenery after scenery makes visitors linger and forget to leave. As a major action to promote regional coordinated development in Guangdong Province, the construction scope of the High Quality Development Leading Zone for Towns and Villages around Nankunshan Luofushan County covers Conghua District and Zengcheng District of Guangzhou City, as well as Boluo County and Longmen County of Huizhou City. With the goal of creating a metropolitan ecological advantage area, the Guangzhou area will implement more than 140 key projects with a total investment of over 200 billion yuan. Adapt to local conditions and showcase each individual's strengths. Guangzhou is building benchmark areas for integrated development of industry and city in numerous industrial parks such as Huangpu, Panyu, Nansha, etc; In the central urban areas of Yuexiu, Haizhu, Liwan, Tianhe and other districts, efforts will be made to create new vitality leading areas for old cities. Guangzhou is promoting the construction of characteristic benchmark industrial parks, the transformation and upgrading of low efficiency industrial parks, and the upgrading and renovation of rural industrial clusters around the creation of a "million mu, hundred billion yuan industrial platform", in order to create a number of leading industrial clusters and pillar industrial parks. Cultivating new economic growth points in the promotion of the "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project", Guangzhou's industrial development continues to move towards novelty, greenness, and strength - Tianhe District and Huangpu District have been selected as the "Top Ten" among the top 100 districts in China; Haizhu Pazhou Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy Experimental Zone has been selected as a typical case of urban digital transformation in China; The Baiyun Cosmetics Industry Cluster and Panyu International Fashion Textile and Clothing Industry Cluster have been selected as national level characteristic industrial clusters for small and medium-sized enterprises... Seizing the "bull's nose" of reform, promoting urban-rural integration development. In Aotou Town, Conghua District, the scattered and fragmented farmland that used to be abandoned has been transformed into about 7000 acres of contiguous high standard farmland; The street that used to be crowded with old factories and houses has now become an old village style street. Chen Yi, Deputy Director of the Work Team for the Demonstration Project of Ten Thousand Acres of Good Farmland in Aotou Town, introduced that by establishing a mechanism for linking agricultural interests, the project has driven an average annual income increase of over 150000 yuan for village collectives and over 3000 yuan for villagers in the project area. Exploring models such as "whole area+urban-rural integration", "whole area+park development", "whole area+urban function enhancement", and "whole area+ecological restoration" in the classification of Conghua District, optimizing and integrating 17300 hectares of land and natural resources, and creating an integrated development zone of agriculture, culture, tourism, and tertiary industries with excellent ecological status, thriving industries, and good living standards. In promoting the "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project", Guangzhou firmly grasps the "bull's nose" of reform, continues to deepen pioneering, leading, and integrated reforms such as "comprehensive+", focuses on breaking the urban-rural dual structure, promoting the intensive use of urban and rural development space, orderly flow of production factors, balanced allocation of public resources, and equal coverage of basic public services. In Baiyun District, with the help of the "AI brain" of rural property rights, the "family background" of rural collective assets is clear at a glance, and all 166 economic cooperatives in the district have achieved an annual income of over 1 million yuan. More and more young people are choosing to return to the countryside to showcase their skills. In Zengcheng District, Shen Yanfen, a post-90s NPC deputy, is such a "new farmer". She not only knows how to drive tractors and rice transplanters, but also how to operate drones for sowing and spraying pesticides, and has a better understanding of brand marketing. Relying on agricultural equipment and planting technology, Shen Yanfen led the team to create the "Zengcheng Silk Seedling Rice" brand, allowing products to reach the dining tables of urban residents directly from their place of origin. Reform is the key to breaking through the urban-rural integration gap, and it is also reflected in filling the gaps in infrastructure and public service facilities. Nearly 70% of Guangzhou's total area consists of old urban areas, urban villages, urban-rural junctions, and rural areas. In 2024, Guangzhou issued the Regulations on the Renovation of Urban Villages, which included 52 urban village renovation projects in the national plan and started renovating 523 old residential areas; Encourage the participation of multiple stakeholders and establish a comprehensive town village elderly care service network consisting of "health centers+elderly canteens+nursing homes+N village level stations". Currently, 1386 elderly canteens have been built in the city, and 91% of the beds in rural nursing homes are for caregiving. The coverage rate of medical and elderly care services has reached 100%. Playing the "Concerto for Common Prosperity" and guiding the entire society to participate widely in Lantian Village, Chidi Town, Huadu District, the new 3-story farmhouse has given villagers a perception of the "future countryside". We adopted a modular integration approach and built the house in just 2 months, with photovoltaic panels installed on the roof and smart homes equipped inside. Xu Ji'an, the project manager of the new rural housing pilot project of China Construction Fourth Engineering Bureau, demonstrated on site and said, "I'm back." The lights and air conditioning inside the house immediately started. In Jingxia Village, Longhu Street, Huangpu District, 282 low-carbon intelligent new farmhouses developed and constructed by China Construction Technology Group have been built. Through "photovoltaic+energy storage", the annual electricity cost of villagers has been reduced by 60%. Guangzhou innovatively establishes a new type of assistance and cooperation mechanism that combines vertical support, horizontal assistance, and internal collaboration, and deeply implements the "Thousand Enterprises Helping Thousand Towns, Ten Thousand Enterprises Revitalizing Ten Thousand Villages" action. In Nanping Village, Wenquan Town, Conghua District, the former lychee planting village has now become a "popular homestay village". The Pearl River Industry Group, a municipal state-owned enterprise, cooperated with the village collective to transform the idle primary school buildings and the former site of the village committee into Nanping Inn, and excavated ecological resources such as "mountains, springs, forests, streams, and stones", so that the agricultural village could enjoy "cultural tourism". There are now 40 self operated homestays, 23 farmhouses, 41 specialty shops and stalls in the village, and an average daily passenger flow of over 2000 people during the Spring Festival Zhang Guohua, Secretary of the Nanping Village Party Branch and Director of the Village Committee, said that by exploring the integrated interest linkage mechanism of "company+village collective+farmers", the per capita income of Nanping Village will exceed 40000 yuan in 2024. Focusing closely on industrial cooperation, Guangzhou has joined hands with Meizhou, Zhanjiang, Qingyuan, and 5 counties (cities) in Zhaoqing to integrate into the "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project". On the one hand, we will combine the industrial advantages of Guangzhou with the resource advantages of the assisted areas, create city and county level industrial parks, help cultivate characteristic industries in the local area, achieve orderly transfer of industries, and promote the healthy development of cooperative areas; On the other hand, we will help the collaborating regions establish 67 cooperative bases in Guangzhou, allowing enterprises to enjoy "Greater Bay Area services" at lower costs and share the Greater Bay Area market and overseas markets. Accumulatively introducing 772 projects with a total investment of over 200 billion yuan, modern factories have grown like mushrooms after rain in the Guangqing Economic Special Cooperation Zone located in Qingyuan City. At present, Guangqing Industrial Park has initially formed industrial clusters such as intelligent manufacturing (smart home, automotive parts manufacturing), new materials, high-tech modern agriculture and biotechnology, food processing and beauty, etc., becoming one of the main landing points for industrial transfer in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. More than 70 million yuan of assistance funds have been invested, 27 assistance agreements have been signed, and 5 enterprises and 21 projects have been successfully implemented. Li Ni, the leader of the paired assistance cooperation working group in Mazhang District of Zhanjiang City and Baiyun District of Guangzhou City, has presented a report card. "We will introduce Mazhang Dracaena sanderiana, Taiping Pucao, seafood and aquatic products, Huguangyan and other special products and agricultural, cultural and tourism brands to the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area to further attract investment and lay a solid foundation for the development of local industries," said Li Ni. In 2024, Guangzhou will allocate a total of 3.812 billion yuan in financial assistance funds to promote "hematopoietic assistance" with real money and silver; The joint construction of Guangqing, Guangmei, and Guangzhan industrial parks has achieved a total industrial output value of 40.576 billion yuan, maintaining double-digit growth. Adhering to the combination of "assistance" and "cooperation", giving equal importance to "blood transfusion" and "hematopoiesis", and jointly building "hardware" and "software", Guangzhou is forging a path towards regional common prosperity.
