On Aug 29, the China Media Group (CMG) illustrated Conghua's successful explorations on the road to rural revitalization through a 20 minutes-plus broadcasting. 

It is the second time this year that CMG has reported on the achievements of rural construction in Conghua, a district in Guangzhou, capital of the South China's Guangdong province. 

Conghua has been adhering to the principle of grassroots Party building leading rural development and adopting a working model based on collaboration, participation and common interests. 

Taking Nanping village for instance, it took the lead in propelling the social governance model based on collaboration, participation and common interests, and established seven service teams composed of village cadres and villagers. 

Drastic changes have taken place in Nanping in the past few years. It was named as a village famous for Cantonese cuisine chefs in Guangzhou, and established a training base for Cantonese cuisine chefs. A total of 416 trainees have passed the ability assessment as a Cantonese cuisine chef. 

Also, it piloted the new lychee customization marketing model and pioneered a new development method for the district's characteristic industries. 

Over 30 guesthouses have emerged in the village, which yields more income for locals. With a better look and stronger industries, Nanping has achieved modest prosperity for its residents and has obtained multiple honors at both national and provincial levels. 

Nanping's development epitomizes Conghua's achievements.

Conghua has been focusing on the construction of characteristic townships that serve as an accelerator for Conghua's rural revitalization. It has cultivated six rural tourism routes to connect the major tourist spots it has forged over the years, which have been well received by tourists nationwide. In 2020, it received 14 million tourists, and a number of villages have won national titles in the field of tourism. Rural tourism in Conghua has been recognized and promoted at the national level. 

Starting this year, Conghua has furthered its explorations on building a national-level demonstration zone of rural revitalization. It has intensified work on agricultural development. 

Its national modern agricultural industrial park has passed its mid-term evaluation. Seven modern pig-breeding projects have been launched and come into operation. It upgraded the lychee customization marketing campaign, propelling the district to the top three in the province in lychee exports. As a result, Conghua was included on the list of most valuable lychee regional public brands in Guangdong. 

The district's efforts in improving the environment and living conditions have earned it national recognition as a role model county-level region, the only one in the province to have won the honor.

The 2020 Top 100 Demonstration Counties of Rural Revitalization, 2020 China's Top 100 Most Beautiful Counties, China's Top 10 Green Cities - these are only a few of the many titles Conghua has been crowned with. Conghua's environmental competitiveness has topped all districts in Guangzhou for four consecutive years. Its comprehensive competitiveness in tourism has also ranked first among all 67 counties in Guangdong province for nine consecutive years. 

Heading steadfast on the road to rural revitalization with integrated urban-rural development, Conghua has made and will continue to make unremitting efforts to realize people's yearning for a better life.
