It is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River and covers an area of ??87.77 square kilometers. square kilometers. It borders Damiao Town of Wushan County to the east, Fengping Township to the south, Xinmin Town to the west, and Yongle Town to the north. The township people's residence is in the 2nd commune of Lianhua Village (Lianghekou). The lowest altitude within the territory is 128 meters, and the highest altitude is 1,592 meters. It is a typical mountainous area with "large altitude differences and four seasons in one mountain". The east-west Moxi River and the north-south Jiupan River are like two jade belts wrapped around the feet of Hefeng Township. They converge at the mouth of the two rivers and rush eastward, passing through the Wushan River and flowing into the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The township has a traffic mileage of 81 kilometers, including 20 kilometers of provincial highways, 15 kilometers of township roads, and 46 kilometers of village roads. The township governs 8 villages and 54 villager groups, with more than 4,700 households and more than 17,900 people, and a current labor force of more than 7,300 people. The township has 11,250 acres of cultivated land, including 1,300 acres of paddy fields and 9,950 acres of dry land; it has 60,000 acres of forest land, with a forest coverage rate of 45%. Food crops mainly include rice, corn, potatoes, peanuts, etc.; forest trees mainly include pine, fir, cypress, citrus, etc. Through vigorous adjustments to the industrial structure, nine green industries including labor, navel oranges, tourism, vegetables, sericulture, pepper, jujube, breeding, and olives have taken shape.
2. Development Overview
(1) Infrastructure has been significantly improved. Hefeng Township has a provincial highway, Fengen Road, passing through it, running through the three villages of Changlian, Zhaofeng, and Lianhua; a township-level highway, Heming Highway, running through the three villages of Lianhua, Guandou, and Wuzu; each village relies on the main highway. Based on specific village conditions, 10 village-level roads have been built. More than 96% of communities in the township have access to roads, and more than 60% of farmers' courtyards have direct access to vehicles. With the impoundment of the Three Gorges Project, the water level has risen to the heart of Hefeng Township (Lianghekou), and a large-scale water transportation industry has developed. These transportation facilities speed up the circulation of materials and strengthen external connections. Hefeng Township has completed a total of 2,800 acres of soil improvement; built 8,000 meters of canals, built 84 drinking pools, and stored 40,000 cubic meters of water, solving the drinking water problem for 9,000 people and irrigating 1,000 acres of farmland. It has played an important role in stabilizing grain production, improving farmers' production and living conditions, and increasing farmers' income. More than 80% of the communities in the township have carried out rural network transformation; the cable TV network covers 8 villages, and the number of TVs has reached more than 4,000; signal stations such as China Unicom, China Mobile, and PHS have been opened, and there are more than 6,000 mobile phone users , the number of program-controlled telephones has grown to more than 400; a broadband network has been installed. It provides convenient conditions for accelerating the dissemination and exchange of information and enriching the cultural life of the masses. Relying on the central town of Mao'erping, the township has driven the development of two village-level towns, Fucao and Xujiaba, forming a three-legged system that advances hand in hand; forming a small town pattern of "one center, two wings flying together". It has created good conditions for prospering rural commerce, promoting the development of secondary and tertiary industries, and accelerating the transfer of labor.
(2) Structural adjustment has achieved initial results. Hefeng Township seized the opportunity of returning farmland to forest and developed 3,000 acres of jujubes, 1,000 acres of mulberry gardens, 2,000 acres of pepper gardens, 5,000 acres of navel oranges, and 4,000 acres of vegetables according to different soil quality and climate conditions. It planted high-quality peach trees, plum trees, There are 2,000 acres of economic trees such as walnuts and apples. Introduce a number of leading agricultural industrialization enterprises (such as Chongqing Hete Agriculture, Tinglai Pickles, Jinxia Olive Oil Company, etc.) to build bases in Hefeng to engage in agricultural development. Through efforts to develop the breeding industry, the number and variety quality of pigs, small poultry, cattle and sheep have steadily increased. Adopt flexible and diverse training methods, increase labor force training, establish labor service bases, build labor service brands, promote the transfer of surplus labor, and form a labor service economy of a certain scale. Now, the nine major green industries of labor, navel orange, tourism, vegetables, sericulture, pepper, jujube, breeding, and olive oil have taken shape, forming the characteristics of "navel orange vegetables are at the bottom, jujube and sericulture are wrapped around the waist, and pepper, cattle and sheep are on the top". Industrial belt; at the same time, an ecological landscape of "green fields in spring and summer, and red lanterns all over the mountains in autumn and winter" is formed.
(3) Vigorously develop cultural and health undertakings. Hefeng Township has always placed education in a strategic position of priority development and put forward the goal of "promoting education through science and strengthening the township through education". According to the geographical conditions and the needs of educational development, the school layout has been adjusted, remote teaching sites with poor conditions and poor quality have been merged, forming a basic pattern of two central primary schools, two basic schools and two village primary schools.
Adhere to the practice of "building a nest to attract phoenixes", vigorously improve school facilities and improve school conditions. Implement the talent strategy of "Open Hefeng and Hope You Come" to attract outstanding teachers to teach in Hefeng Township. Strengthen the construction of the school team, promote internal management, and promote the basic education level of the township to a new level. At the same time, the construction of adult schools has been strengthened to make them a base for practical technical training and work skills training in rural areas, providing strong technical support for industrial development and labor transfer in the township. In order to prosper rural cultural undertakings, improve the cultural quality of the masses, and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent development of the economy and society. In terms of health work, we adhere to the approach of "center-driven and village-doctor linkage". Hefeng Township Central Health Center was established in the central town of Mao'erping, and village clinics were established in each village. Strengthen its internal management, update its medical equipment, standardize its charging behavior, and improve its service level; pay close attention to the new cooperative medical work in rural areas, with a participation rate of 85%; basically solve the problem of difficult and expensive medical treatment for the people, and provide better services to the people's physical and mental health Health builds a strong line of defense.

Transportation advantages: The implementation of Fengen Road’s “three-to-two” project and the opening of the Changdang Tunnel have made Hefeng Township “one tunnel away from the neighboring county.” ", a smooth road connects to western Hubei"; the township station is 17 kilometers away from the county seat, guarding the transportation fortress from the county seat to the Tiankeng Digao Scenic Area and western Hubei. Taking advantage of the water storage of the Three Gorges Project, motorized ships will anchor from the heart of Hefeng Township, swim in the twenty-mile golden waterway, and sail directly to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. As a result, Hefeng Township formed a land and water transportation system.
Geographic advantage: Hefeng Township is the strategic hub of Suoyu in the east and west of Hubei. It is located on the side of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, straddling the throat of the Tiankeng and the ground. It has jurisdiction over the Jiupan River ecological tourist attraction; you can overlook the majestic Kuimen Gate through the Changdang Tunnel. , watch Baidi Caiyun, and feel the historical changes of the ancient poetic city; along Fengen Road, you can look up at the Jiupan River Lotus Canyon, overlook the tiankeng and ground cracks, and swim among the original ecology of the Jiupan River; take a boat to the east and walk twenty miles Under the blue waves, you can see the new look of the countryside, observe the simple folk customs, enjoy the new scenery of the high gorge and the flat lake, and listen to the chirping of apes among the red leaves.
Climate advantage: Hefeng Township has a large altitude difference and a large temperature difference. It is a true portrayal of the climate of "one mountain has four seasons, and ten miles have different weather". Different climates at high and low levels have given birth to different soils, created different industries, and enriched development paths. It is through this that Hefeng Township has formed a characteristic industrial belt with "navel orange vegetables at the bottom, jujube and sericulture around the waist, and pepper, cattle and sheep wearing hats". Now, Hefeng Township is taking advantage of the obvious basin climate, high temperature all year round, and fertile land in low-altitude areas, and is making every effort to build a green vegetable and green fruit base in the Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing, and Shaanxi border areas. Jiupan River Valley, with cool summers and warm winters, is the ideal location for the development of leisure vacations, water entertainment and farm entertainment.
Tourism advantages: Hefeng Township is located at the center of the Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing and Shaanxi tourism corridor, guarding the gateway to the tiankeng and ground cracks, and is an important tourist channel. In Hefeng Township, you can see the changes and new appearance of Shicheng in the north, the peerless wonders of the tiankeng and ground cracks in the south, and the ancient ruins of Wushan people in the east. Take a willow boat and follow the blue waves to see the majestic appearance of "Kuimen struggling to lock a river." You can hear the lamentation of "the return of the goddess Yaohulang". Jiupanhe Ecological Tourism Scenic Area has countless unique landscapes; when you travel through the Lotus Canyon, you will suddenly enter the Three Gorges. The mountains in between include the roaring Lion Mountain, the vivid Tiger Leaping Stream, and the twists and turns of the Dragon Huitou; the rocks in between include the Shuanglong Rock across the river, which is about to join the wall, and the smooth and smooth Shuanglong Rock. In the mirror, looking up at the slate rocks with their caps off, there are folded rocks that rise and fall with the trend, outlining the movement of the earth's crust; among the water, there are mountain springs singing along the road, waterfalls hanging straight into the sky, and blue waves with fish flying on the shallow bottom. In the mountains, where the clouds are misty, a few thatched huts can be vaguely seen, and rough love songs can be vaguely heard; by the river, on the rocky beach, reeds and flying flowers are everywhere, and the cries of giant salamanders can be heard from time to time. When I met a talkative old man, I opened up the conversation and started to talk about the moving legends about two dragons playing with pearls to find their mates, a thousand-year-old turtle holding a treasure, and a lotus flower transforming into an immortal. Stepping on the blue waves, counting the wonders of the green mountains, observing the primitive ecology, and thinking about modern civilization, you will stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and return to the tranquility of nature.
