Youyu County is lush in summer. On the endless grassland, patches of Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica. Quercus mongolica and Populus simonii are scattered all over the place. Who would have thought that in the past, planting a tree was more difficult than raising a child.
In dry and cold traffic jams, turning green is not the end. In order to turn green mountains into golden mountains and silver mountains, and conform to the people's yearning for a better life, today's Youyu cadres and masses are moving towards the goal of building a "rich and beautiful Youyu", and are conducting a "second venture" around green development, and the answer sheet is another examination paper for the new era.
Shanxi Youyu is less than100km away from Mu Us Desert, and is located at the junction of Shanxi and Mongolia. The desertification area is as high as 76%, and the forest coverage rate is only 0.3%. 1950, Zhang Ronghuai, the first county party secretary of Youyu, proposed that "people should survive in Youyu and trees should take root in Youyu!" More than 60 years have passed, and Youyu's afforestation has never stopped. Today, the forest coverage rate of Youyu has risen to 54%.
Not only cultural tourism, but also Youyu's green industrial system. In the past, new energy bases such as wind energy and solar energy sprang up like mushrooms after rain. By the end of 20 16, the total installed capacity of Youyu clean energy was nearly 1 10,000 kilowatts, which became the pillar of the county's industrial transformation and upgrading.
Our predecessors planted trees, while our descendants enjoyed the cool. In those days, the places where sandstorms were most rampant-Shahukou and Cangtou River-have now become the most beautiful ecological and cultural scenic spots. Green water and green hills are good for welcoming guests, and every household has a golden rice bowl.
