In late autumn, Yushan Town in Linshu County is a picturesque scene of vibrant forests. On November 5, a visit to the "Yushan Banli" rural revitalization zone revealed newly paved asphalt roads gleaming under the sun, flanked by wild chrysanthemums in full bloom.

**From Policy to Prosperity: Agricultural Benefits Reach the Fields** Li Jinzhi from Mutuan Village was arranging apples at her roadside stall, where Venus apples glistened with morning dew. "This sales spot cost me nothing—the town set it up!" she said. As the head of the Linshu Chuangyou Planting Cooperative, she manages a 30-acre orchard intercropped with cicadas, now in its seventh profitable year. "A regular customer told me these apples taste sweeter with a hint of mountain earth," she added, offering a freshly picked sample.

Nearby, Yuan Hewen from Houmu Village was sowing wheat with a rumbling seeder. "The soil moisture came late this year, so I had to add extra seeds," he explained, wiping sweat. Despite losses from prolonged autumn rains—peanut yields dropped by 100 catties per mu, corn molded, and sweet potatoes wilted—he remained optimistic. "Thanks to timely subsidies and daily technician visits, I’ll manage my 180 acres well."

At Banli Station, Xu Pusheng, an out-of-town worker at Longyuan Wind Farm, praised the local apples: "They’re as crisp and sweet as those from my hometown!" He noted the area’s transformation: "The roads have improved so much—it’s a pleasure to drive around here."

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee emphasized "building livable, industrious, and harmonious villages while enhancing pro-farmer policies." In "Yushan Banli," this vision materializes through initiatives like Party branch-led cooperatives, integrating specialties such as *Nostoc* cultivation and velvet embroidery. These efforts have boosted incomes—*Nostoc* farming adds 30,000 yuan annually for 50 households, while embroidery workshops employ 4,000 women locally at 200 yuan daily.

**From Fragmented Progress to Systemic Growth: Scenic-Village Integration Sparks Momentum** "Implementing rural revitalization requires systemic upgrades," said Yushan Party Secretary Yuan Jun. The zone focuses on four industries—snow, tea, rice, and embroidery—to create a model for scenic-village fusion, winter sports, and Lunan cultural experiences.

Collaboration with Jigu Mountain Scenic Area has been pivotal. Banli Village now features ski clubs, ice rinks, and winter lodges, converting 80,000 ski tourists into year-round visitors. Innovations like night skiing and alpine rafting extend the tourism season from 3 to 9 months, forming a full-cycle chain: "spring blossoms, summer waterplay, autumn harvests, winter snow."

Cultural heritage also thrives, with historical sites like the "Jaguar Alliance" and知青文化园 attracting 60,000 study-tour visitors annually. "Before, tourists left after mountain visits. Now, village eateries and craft shops boom," noted Li Chuntu, Party secretary of Li Village.

**From Government-Led to People-Driven: Grassroots Governance Unleashes Vitality** The shift to community-led development is evident. Over 70 of 100+ local businesses are villager-run, while returnees launch collective-held tourism firms, planning food streets to turn "visitors" into "residents."

Banli Village’s 398 households exemplify success. By revitalizing idle resources, they built boutique homestays and indoor ski centers, boosting rental and equity incomes. "I used to migrate for work; now, I earn 3,000 yuan monthly selling snacks at home," shared villager Ms. Wang.

As dusk fell, the community hub buzzed with activity—children at after-school classes, deliveries at the express point, and diners at the shared canteen. "We’re aligning with the Fourth Plenum’s spirit, drafting the 15th Five-Year Plan to strengthen rural tourism and link industries to more households," Yuan Jun added.

From fleeting beauty to enduring prosperity, "Yushan Banli" is scripting a new chapter of shared rural wealth—one acre at a time.
