The story of “a sewing machine changing the fate of families” in the factory in the village of habei, hada town, river county, which was once scattered land, has been consolidated and transformed into a high-quality agricultural base for high-end markets。
Today, there has been a change — not only was it assessed as a model area for the construction of a national ecological civilization in 2025 and as a city nominated for the country's civilized city, but it has been more successful in being included in the second series of provincial pilot projects for the construction of new types of urbanization, the first of which, at the beginning of the three-year period, saw a steady jump from a “backward into the mountains” to a “model pole” through the provincial “quality development project in the 100 townships”。
Behind the change was the radiation advantage of the ito bay region in the county of the river, with the project of millionsReformThe goal of creating a new town, a new city, a dynamic river, and a green city in a mountain park, is to create a new chapter on urban and rural development。
Industry changes: from “dispersion” to “empowerment”
“we used to be envious of the number of factories and jobs outside, and now we can earn money in front of our homes not only by the big businesses of biadi and xiu hung, but also by the garment factories in the village.” the residents of the town of heda are impressed。
To insist that the real economy should be owned and that the manufacturing sector should take charge. As a result of the “bride-jacking” campaign, the river promoted the establishment of five leading industrial systems, including new energy sources, new materials and high-end equipment manufacturing. The “one district multi-garden” model of the high new zone continued to expand from 4,000 acres to more than 10,000 acres, with a total industrial output of $5. 67 billion in january-november 2025 in the land river county. It is worth mentioning that, based on a bridge of industrial collaboration that has been built by the shenzhen mount horizontally, the land river in partnership with hamp hill has been set up as a “reverse enclave” — the island of innovation of the suntail river (hongshan) for the countyIndustrial upgradingInjecting external kinetic energy。
In response to the shortage of local employment capacity, the land river anchoring labour-intensive garment industry has introduced the “one central plant + n satellite factory + x farmer (home workshop)” model, which has enabled the “small workshop” to support “the livelihood of the people”. Over the past three years, more than 1,500 small and medium-sized enterprises, 900 garment factories and over 2. 5 billion yuan a year in the garment industry have been cultivated in the land river county, and nearly 20,000 new “doorside” jobs have been created to enable rural women to “pay and take care of their families”. Financial empowerment has increased, with the land, river and river farmer's businesses' “summary letter” of 200 million yuan and precision dripping of products such as “comfort loans” to solve financing problems for nearly 100 businesses。
Agricultural modernization has accelerated. The innovative “cultivating land bank” model, which combines “sustained land, loaned land” to settle about 30,000 acres of wasteland in a fragmented manner, has resulted in an increase in acre production of between $5,000 and $10,000 through “sale farm + order farming” to high-end markets such as sam supermarket. The branding effect has been found in the three specialty industries, namely, green plum, oil and tea, and the country's top-renowned new agricultural products have been awarded in rivers and rivers。
Continued optimization of the business environment is industrial empowerment. The process of approval of construction projects has been streamlined from 24 to 6 and the period of approval of social investment projects has been reduced to 25 working days. The “business in the wall, government outside the wall” became a consensus that allowed businesses to develop and invest。
Urban and rural change: from one-area to global
“the previously idle grass of the village has become a lawn park that can walk and watch performances, and the days are getting better.” the resident, mr. Zhu, who lives on the outskirts of the country's land and riverways, has witnessed the changes brought about by the land-retention reform。
In response to the challenge of decentralization of unused land, the land river innovative “space replacement + capacity compensation” mechanism has consolidated the fragmentation of plots along the main road of county and city, replacing them with priority development areas and increasing the rate, both to safeguard the collective rights of the village and to free up space for urban upgrading, with a cumulative construction of over 230,000 square metres of green grass park。
The river basins insist on “flexible development plus rigid regulation” to regenerate land resources. For high-quality plots that have not been fully developed, transitional development has been carried out using the “lower rent + renewal” model (cumulatively not more than 20 years), whereby communities in the south of county cities and towns have been able to accumulate 14 acres of land, introducing social capital of $30 million for construction of the hsbc, and raising collective revenue of over $600,000 per year for villages。
At the same time, the separation of the core control areas, the modest construction areas and the wind-coordination areas, which control individual construction, will result in the creation of zero new “bids” in county towns. In the context of the rise in the landscape of farming houses, the land river has been led by the party, which has brought together a number of efforts, such as “one-in-one” and “three-third-three-six” approaches, which have led to the completion of “micro-renovation” in more than 10,000 agricultural houses, the improvement of the number of beautiful and liveable villages to 114, and the transformation of “point flowering” to “string-in”。
The construction of “future communities” makes urban and rural areas warmer. The “new toilet revolution” is promoted by the release of maps to open the toilet resources of county-wide agencies, and the boom in the “nap +” business has attracted more than 350,000 people across the year in nighttime movies and weekends, making urban public spaces a vehicle of happiness. The conservation of the town's hot spring resources, the characteristics of the cultural brigades in east pocket town and the culture of tea in south man town form a global development pattern of “one town, one village, one bright spot”。
Typical towns and villages build chains. The successful creation of two groups of four model towns in the towns of water lips and river mouth, loch creek and shineda, which were selected as the target of the third batch of typical towns in 2025, resulted in the completion of the “seven-one” phase of construction planning. The average collective income of 35 typical provincial villages in 2024 amounted to $358,000, an increase of 66. 5 per cent over the same period. The “three revolutions” of rural latrines, garbage and sewage have advanced, with full coverage of municipal sewage, 100 per cent management of rural sewage, “white to black” “one to two” projects having made rural roads more accessible, and water supply projects in the three southern towns to ensure water security for the population。
Eco-change: from high-face to high-value
“besides the good waters of the mountains, today we can earn real money and silver from ecology.” the pride of the villagers of the village of guangfu in the town of nanwan has shown the effectiveness of the ecological development of land and river。
Land and river forests cover 73. 08 per cent of the country's priority eco-functional areas as a water-carriage component, with the southern magenta forest in the countryEcological protectionThe region is unique — it preserves the largest, most concentrated, most well-protected and highly primitive group of red cones, a protected area that is the country's largest mangrove, with a forest cover of 91. 6 per cent — an ecological base that has long been protected。
The construction of a solid ecological foundation, the full coverage of 612 natural villages in river county, the completion of a “one-size-fits-all” approach to the management of sewage for rural life, the completion of 206 problem drains and the sustained maintenance of type ii water quality in priority watersheds; the implementation of operation eight for the green american ecology project, the completion of the optimization of 58,000 acres of forest, the establishment of the first two mountain banks throughout the province, the insistence on party leadership and the organization of a professional effort to complete the rescue transplant of nearly 300 hua yunnan, and the “safe home” of the koo tree in the county's eco-park, both protecting biodiversity and enriching the urban landscape。
The transformation of value has yielded significant results, with the province taking the lead in completing a comprehensive forestry carbon inventory, with 11. 51 million tons of carbon emission reductions yielding $7. 32 million in revenues to 37 administrative villages, the realization of idle ecological resources such as wild mushroom harvesting rights and mountain “loans”; the production capacity of 400,000 tons per year after the completion of the water production base at the triple mineral springs, with a value of 260 million yuan; and the flourishing of industries such as eco-sanitation and specialty agricultural products in the “china sleeping small city” brand, which has led to the effective transformation of the “green-water green-green mountain” to the “gold mountain”。
People's lives change: from “slipboards” to “good supplies”
“the children have access to quality education in the bay area in front of their homes, and we don't have to worry about school selection anymore.” heda high school parents said。
The establishment of the first full-school district education group in the province, together with the second teacher training college in guangdong, has resulted in the sharing of quality resources by nearly 30,000 school children. In september 2025, priority was given to enrolling students from remote mountainous regions, children left behind and children of migrant workers in 12 state-run residential “future schools” for 12 years in order to prevent the intergenerational transmission of poverty through quality and equitable education. In 2025, 862 students were enrolled in the baccalaureate. The undergraduate rate was 6 percentage points higher than in the previous year, and the mqe indicators ranked first in the municipality。
Quality leaps in health service capacity. With the help of provincial vertical support opportunities, the land and river innovation has led to the implementation of an integrated reform of the “general hostage + three houses”, in close cooperation with the first hospital of the chinese medical university of guangzhou, which combines provincial medical resources such as the provincial people's hospital, the shenzhen city central hospital, etc., and the integration of district people's hospitals, maternal and child health centres, and central hospitals, with the aim of achieving critical development, chinese medical characteristics, and the development of women's and children's specialization. The chest pain centre is certified at the national level, and the centre is the only national centre for integrated prevention and treatment in the city. The doctor's mobile workshop places the population at home with specialist services from the sana hospital。
Old-age services are more qualitative. Water lips has created a public “one-house” health-care complex to provide specialized services at a daily rate of $130 per day at an inclusive price, with the aim of “two drops” (upgrading quality of life and health security and reducing household burdens and the incidence of disease) as a model pole for the tungdong region. A multi-modal model of “self-help + mutual assistance + concentration of support + combination of medical care” has been established at the county level, 6 townships and 57 village-level home-care centres (stations) to meet the needs of different groups。
The “basket” project makes people's lives warmer. It has built 16 vegetable bases through the agricultural development bank, which has reduced the price of vegetables by 5 to 20 per cent through the integrated “profit and sale” platform, and has opened up a future community canteen in the city's first home, so that the population can eat with comfort and benefit。
Change in governance: from “traditional governance” to “multi-dimensional”
“before there was no one to fight in the neighbourhood, now there was a `land and river well-known' mediation team, and there was a public awareness campaign to get home, and the conflict could be resolved soon.” the villagers of loch creek are very sensitive to changes in grass-roots governance。
Innovative land and river processes have been carried out under the three pillars of the rule of law: "intelligence, cultural edifice, rich industry" and the construction of mountain-specific governance systems。
The rule of law is firmly rooted. The creation of a “land and river” generic brand, the creation of a negative list of land use, cyber-activities, etc., and the introduction of more than 500 purchase orders for the generalization of the law through wednesday night visits, etc. The legal adviser + legal understanding service matrix has been fully covered, the online new media matrix has been streamlined and the rule of law has been significantly improved among the cadres. From january to november 2025, there was an 8 per cent decrease in the number of criminal police officers, a 15. 76 per cent drop in the number of communications and a four-year rating for good security。
“cultural lurking” brings people together. Five public-interest films a week, weekend concerts in the great bay region are regularized, and more than 130 cultural events are held throughout the year, involving more than 300,000 people. A number of other projects, such as the high vision of the rivera and the rhodow muppet show, entered the school campus, and the "surrend song" "four seasons of the villages" turned the crowd from a "watcher" to a "participant" and the "new city and dynamic rivers" continued to improve their visibility and reputation. The data show that, as of the end of november 2025, nearly 6. 02 million visitors were received by land and river, and that tourism revenues amounted to some 2. 4 billion yuan, facilitating the movement of the brigade from a “short-term flow” to a “long-term retention” — a culture that is not only “love” but also “rich”。
“industrial rich” is the foundation of governance. The garment industry has flourished, allowing rural women to “pay and care for their families” and to effectively alleviate social problems such as the elderly and the children left behind. Over the past three years, nearly 20,000 new jobs have been created at the “door to the home”, with a total collective income of 41. 34 million yuan in 2024, representing an increase of 21 per cent over the same period, and 66 villages with incomes of over 300,000 yuan。
Ongoing reforms, land and river practices provide clear answers: the development of mountain districts is short-lived and can be transformed into a lateral advantage through precision reforms; and limited resources are available to unlock unlimited potential through a combination of vertical and vertical support, horizontal support in shenzhenshan, and capacity-building. At the heart of this change is a commitment to systemic thinking that integrates industrial development, urban-rural development, ecological conservation, grass-roots governance and social integrationLife improvementsFive dimensions to achieve global synergy; the key is to build on the precision of the approach to industrial orientation and innovative governance models in the districts of “eight hills, one land”; and the bottom line is to hold on to shared governance, where people are both agents and beneficiaries of change, bringing together “all, one household, one household, one household”。
