Sanjiangyuan Expedition Diary No. 10 (June 11): Continuing Faith, Continuing Spirit, Continuing Culture--Xinzhai Mani Stone
There are no more famous cultural attractions in Yushu County than the three Jiegu temples, the Xinzhai Mani Stone, and the Princess Wencheng Temple.
After breakfast, we came to visit the Jiegu Monastery located in Jiegu Town, Yushu East Jiegu Mountain. Jiegu Monastery Tibetan called "Jiegu Dunzhuleng" meaning "Jiegu Yi Cheng Zhou" for the Sakya school in Qinghai Province, the main temple. Lecture hall, dazhao hall, maitreya hall, gana and wenbao living buddha courtyard are all unique. Jiegu Monastery is located in the north of Jiegu town on the slopes, with magnificent architecture, many monks, rich cultural relics, a number of monks and high disciples in China's Tibetan area is famous. The whole monastery is built according to the mountain, the temple monks and houses are staggered, towering above the hillock. In Yushu County can see the monastery from the past, in the monastery can see the following is changing the city, the monastery and the city reflect each other, the city decorated with the scenery of the monastery, the monastery decorated with the city's dream. Though it is a prestigious monastery, the surroundings are not to be commended, with lama's houses mixed in with those of the people, and the roads leading into the monastery are congested and unsanitary.
There are majestic monasteries on the hills and a continuous stream of mani stones below. Jiegu Temple Mani stone pile is famous in the world, the first Jia Na living Buddha in his later years settled in the town of East Xinzhai village, and in the construction of this pile of Mani, known as "Jia Na Mani pile", "Xinzhai Mani pile". With the passage of time, here the mani stone pile volume is getting bigger and bigger, more than 200 years pile of more than 2.6 billion pieces of mani stone, mani pile by engraved with six words of truth "ah mani aba mi moo" mani stone base, is called "the world's first big pile of mani", become a representative of Tibetan religious culture. 2.6 billion pieces of mani stone. 2.6 billion pieces, meaning that 2.6 billion people, in the past 200 years, to worship this sacred place, the blessings and prayers written in stone above also written into history. And the rate is still increasing by 2,000 blocks a day, nearly 10 million blocks a year, and with the rapid development of Yushu's tourism industry, this record will continue to be broken.
Mani stone piles show us is a continuous culture, is a living culture, both from the past, and to the future run to carry is continuous faith and life. The Tibetan compatriots are using this is life and religious beliefs, to convey the message of life and civilization.
Leaving Jiegu Monastery, our next stop is the Longbotan Nature Reserve. It is located about 80 kilometers or so southwest of Jiegu Town, the capital of Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. It is a narrow gully area about 10 kilometers long and 3 kilometers wide. On both sides of the valley are towering, undulating and rolling mushroom-shaped mountains, and between the two mountains is a vast expanse of flat marshy meadows, with a serene and elegant natural environment. Longbaotan, with an altitude of more than 4,200 meters, where the climate is cold, the habitat is humid, the rainfall is abundant, the streams are meandering, the swamps are all over the place, belonging to the typical swampy meadows and alpine meadows area.
In the middle of the beach, many small springs, vertical and horizontal meandering streams, scattered swamp pools cut the beach into countless large and small sandbars and isolated "islets", so the beasts can not get close. The island is home to a variety of beautiful water plants, and there are many amphibious reptiles and small soft-bodied animals in the marsh pools and streams around the island. The unique natural conditions and ecological environment create favorable conditions for birds to live and reproduce. Every spring and summer, black-necked cranes fly here from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau to breed.
Although this is a national-level nature reserve, the facilities and management appear to be backward, especially the facilities and equipment are lacking and there are no obvious boundary markers. Black-necked cranes can be seen in pairs through high-powered binoculars, but herds of yaks can also be seen. Due to the lack of facilities such as guardrails and the relatively good ecological environment, and the local people have too many cows and sheep, these cows and sheep often go deep into the core area of the protected area, eating into the habitat of the black-necked cranes.
Compared to Golog, Yushu's tourism resources are on a smaller scale, but the cultural component is more fully realized, with lower altitude and increased comfort.
Diary of the Xinjiang Energy and Environment Expedition
9.24 Diary
This afternoon, I traveled from foggy Beijing to sunny, Gobi-clear Xinjiang.
On the cab ride from the airport to the Xinjiang Nature Conservation Fund office today, I actually met two people from the Karamay Petroleum Bureau, who traveled to various cities in the mainland to recruit graduates, and was able to sense the booming petroleum industry from their conversation.
In the office of the Xinjiang Nature Conservation Fund, I was warmly received by Wu Chen and Cheng Ying. Wang Peng, who is from CNOOC and will **** be attending this meeting and doing part of the study tour with me, brought some strong Sichuan snacks from Chengdu (husband and wife's lung slices, chicken heart, rabbit meat), and Wu Chen called in congee, which made the first meal in Xinjiang quite cozy.
Listening to Wu Chen, the local Xinjiang is still unity over development, so many people are more conservative thinking, for example, he did not think to focus on the oil sector before our last visit, although Xinjiang's energy development has been hot. Nor, he thought, would it occur to most sectors in Xinjiang to focus on anything beyond their remit. That's something to be seen later in life.
According to the recommendation of the Xinjiang Nature Conservation Fund, the plan is to meet Mr. Ma Ming of the Xinjiang Institute of Geography and Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the morning of the 25th to learn about the geological conditions of Xinjiang and the impact of oil development on the local fauna of the region, and then to meet Mr. Li Weidong of the Environmental Mission Center of the Environmental Protection Bureau of the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, to learn about the state of the current technical process and environmental protection inputs to the oil fields through the oil field environmental protection acceptance project that he had done In the evening, we will meet Mr. Li Weidong from the Northwest Exploration and Research Center of Sinopec. In the evening, we went to meet Wu Wenming from the Northwest Exploration and Design Institute of Sinopec, who is a logging engineer at the design institute, and asked him to help introduce some friends from the Tahe oilfield, because according to the preliminary plan, we intended to choose the Tahe oilfield in Luntai County as a major focus of the study tour, and stay there for two or three days, hoping to get a relatively comprehensive understanding of the various aspects of a large oilfield in Xinjiang.
9.25 Diary
This morning I went to see Mr. Ma Ming with Wang Peng and Cheng Ying. Mr. Ma is now doing research on the peregrine falcon, studying the species changes of this raptor in the last decade or so from an ecological point of view. The falcon's habitat in Xinjiang is mainly in the Jungar Basin and some other areas in the northern border, which is also the location of oil and gas deposits. Because Mr. Ma has done a lot of research on the geology and geography of these areas. Peregrine falcons are sought after by aristocrats and rich people in Arab countries, so the phenomenon of poaching and poaching is very serious. A good falcon can be sold for 100,000 dollars in the Arab world. With the rise of oil prices and the increase of petrodollars in Arab countries, this poaching poaching in the area around the Junggar Basin in Xinjiang has been repeatedly prohibited, and due to the ban on Chinese customs, this behavior has also become more hidden and difficult to count.
After listening to our questions, Mr. Ma talked about the impact of environmental change on falcons from the perspective of oil development:
Firstly, these areas are important storage bases for oil (the Flaming Mountains) and coal, and the toxic substances from oil development, when discarded and consumed by falcon prey such as rats and birds, can poison the raptors along the food chain.
Second, in oil towns such as Karamay, birds are often drenched in pools of oil from oil well sites and not only drink the poisoned water, but their oil-soaked feathers can no longer fly.
Thirdly, due to overgrazing in these areas, the increase in the range and intensity of activities of livestock has led to the degradation of pastures, and the living areas of some birds have become smaller. Moreover, Han Chinese will take out poultry eggs, but the Viennese will have a stronger sense of protecting wildlife, and they do not eat poultry eggs or wild birds.
Fourth, water resources in the northern border are relatively abundant, and in the several years of research, there was no significant change in the groundwater level.
Fifth, during the study, it was felt that the primary goal of the local government is still to develop the economy, and the awareness of protecting these wild animals is very weak, and it has happened that because the rich people in the Arab countries pay back some money, they can be helped by the local government to hunt the falcons.
The next visit in the morning was to Mr. Li Weidong, a staff member of the Xinjiang Environmental Education Center, who has done a lot of environmental analysis and evaluation of oilfield projects. In his view, the main energy strategy now being implemented in Xinjiang is energy substitution, i.e., replacing coal with less polluting oil and natural gas for residential energy use. However, he believes that these fossil energy sources are non-renewable, and now the mainland has a huge demand for these energy sources, which have finally entered the depletion stage after several years of exploitation, and that a period of adapting to life using these energy sources will lead to the formation of energy dependence.
So, he suggested, in areas where the ecosystem is acceptable and can renew itself, farmers and herdsmen at the village level can be allowed to use fuelwood, but it is necessary to examine the environmental renewal capacity and capacity, which are needed for the renewal of the ecosystem, otherwise it is a waste. Now although some areas are beginning to use wind and solar energy, but due to regional and high cost constraints, the promotion of a moment of difficulty.
In terms of what we can focus on, he suggests we take a more macro, strategic view. What is the government's energy strategy in Xinjiang? From what relevant perspective can we research and what kind of advice can we give?
For the Tahe oil field, where we decided to locate, he specifically suggested that the aspects I could focus on from an environmental perspective are: first, the groundwater separated by oil extraction is so heavily mineralized and polluted that it can only be injected back into the ground, but after that, this water can pollute the groundwater if it is injected back in a relatively shallow manner. Secondly, due to the upstream oil exploitation, chemical industry and other industrial and domestic sewage, the pollution problem of the Tarim River cannot be ignored. The large amount of water used upstream has also caused the water level in the middle and lower reaches to drop and the poplar trees to die, which is the reason why the water level in Lop Nor has slowly dropped and eventually dried up over the decades.
But he also mentioned that in the process of oil extraction, the general principle is to recharge the water extracted from what layer to what layer out of the general oil wells up to thousands of meters deep, so whether the recharge of the water affects the quality of the groundwater as well as affect the quality of the groundwater in what layer remains to be studied.
In the afternoon, I met with Ms. Wang Xiuling, a teacher at Xinjiang Normal University who has been studying the northern salamander since 1989, when one of her students brought back a northern salamander from Hot Springs County. There are now about 3,000 of them in the wild. This year, its habitat has seen a reduction in size due to less water recharge from the snow-covered mountains. It lives in very clean streams at an altitude of 2,000 to 3,000 meters and has high environmental requirements, making it a national-level protected animal. The biggest impact on this species now is due to the significant increase in livestock carrying capacity near the five habitats (in one of the ravines it has increased from three families in the 1990s to 19 families with 6,000 head of livestock), which has led to an intensification of the activities of these animals in the area, and it is easy for livestock to step on the rocks where the northern salamanders are hiding and trample them to death. Moreover, it has been surveyed that there is a large graphite mine near the habitat, and once this mine is mined, the species' habitat will cease to exist due to its predictable and apparently strong impact on the environment (but the government's current stance on the mine is to permanently prohibit it).
However, she argued, the annual snowfall in the area has clearly shown no significant change in the last dozen years of study, and in general, the water quality of the lakes and streams near the habitat has not changed significantly. This is due to the lack of major industrial projects in Hot Springs County.
At noon on the 26th, after the conference, I found Mr. Cui Yanhu, who is the most prestigious expert on social surveys and ethnic issues in Xinjiang, and has done a lot of research on the distribution of social interests in Xinjiang's petroleum development, and is the head of the project commissioned by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to conduct a study on ethnic issues and AIDS in Xinjiang. He talked about Xinjiang's oil development from the perspective of ethnic benefit distribution and the environment.
He argued that there are three main ways in which local people get benefits from oil exploitation: resource fees paid by oil companies to the local government, land tax, and direct investment by oil companies in the region. There are three main reasons why it is difficult for local residents to enter the oil companies: oil extraction is a relatively high technology industry, and local residents have a low level of education, which makes it difficult for them to perform these jobs; the oil companies' projects are mobile, and where there is oil, they will move to where they are, so it is difficult to arrange for the locals to be recruited at the end of the project, so they simply don't recruit them; and out of the preconceived notions of the local people, the oil companies are also The oil companies are also reluctant to recruit locals out of stereotypes about them. And the local people, many years after the oil extraction, still do not enjoy the benefits of energy extraction for them, and even to this day are still using fuelwood.
Additionally, Mr. Cui also suggested that we include Kuche in the study agenda, and he believes that Kuche is more representative of oil exploitation. Not only are new oil deposits being discovered near Kuche, but also PetroChina, the regional government, the Construction Corps, Sinopec, and the other four are planning to invest 20 billion yuan locally to make Kuche a large-scale upstream and downstream integrated petrochemical base. This is a key step for the economic take-off of Kuqa, and even the whole South Xinjiang. But on the other hand, the construction of such a large-scale chemical project in such a fragile ecological environment as the Tarim Basin is very likely to deal a devastating blow to the local ecological environment. Kuche is not rich in water resources, but a large underground reservoir is said to have been recently discovered under the riverbed of the lower Weigan River.
9.27 Diary
When I arrived in Korla at 4:30 a.m., I found a hotel in the dark and fell asleep. Until 9:30, I got up, washed up briefly, and contacted the PetroChina Tarim Oilfield Command Center and the Korla Investment Promotion Bureau and the Environmental Protection Bureau.
In the Investment Promotion Bureau, I would like to know the situation of some petrochemical investment projects, a staff member surnamed Gong received us, introduced Korla's current industrial development and investment plans, and gave me two Korla investment manual, which has two larger petrochemical investment projects: dimethylamide production project and 15,000 tons/year of triple hydroxylamine project.
Next, to the business section of the Environmental Protection Bureau, Shao Weidong, director of the section received me, and briefly introduced us to the relevant Korla city's environmental situation. Now the cited water source of Kuhle City comes from an underground water source near the 21st regiment, which is 79KM away from Kuhle City. The water of Peacock River has been reused as irrigation water and auxiliary water source. The water quality of the Peacock River is classified as Category III water body, and in order to maintain the water quality of the Peacock River, KUC has closed down some factories and mines along the river, including two paper mills. When I asked the reason why the water of the river could only reach the category 3 water body when the factories and mines along the river were closed, he explained that it was because there were still some industrial factories and mines around the Bosten Lake in the upstream of the Peacock River, which belonged to source pollution. Belong to the source of pollution. These are not under the jurisdiction of the city, so he could not provide me with more comprehensive and detailed information. But he introduced me to the state government's environmental monitoring station to further understand the situation. But because the main leaders at the station were either traveling or out for a meeting, we were unable to do so.
From the environmental protection bureau, we went to Tower Finger, where Li Minghe, a reservoir engineer, first gave us an introduction to the exploration and development of the Tarim oil field and its investment program in recent years. He said that the exploration rate of the Tarim oil field is only about 11% now, which means that the vast majority of blocks in the basin have not been explored. In addition, several large oil fields of hundreds of millions of tons and large steam fields of tens of billions of cubic meters have been discovered one after another in the basin in recent years, which shows the development potential of the Tarim oil field! But there have been no major discoveries so far this year. As for the twelve blocks of the Tarim oilfield open to foreign investment announced by PetroChina a few months ago, he disclosed that the investment promotion work is underway, and France's Total has already inspected the relevant blocks, and he is preparing the relevant geological materials for these companies for them to carry out preliminary drilling and logging.
Next, he took us to the Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Section of Tarim Oilfield, where we were greeted by Mr. Le Viet Dong, the section chief, who introduced some of the work that Tarim Oilfield has done in environmental protection. These include the concept of environmental protection from top to bottom in every employee's actual work and production, environmental protection education for employees, preparation of relevant environmental protection rules and regulations, strict EIA work, simultaneous planning, simultaneous construction and simultaneous commissioning of the three simultaneous. The oilfield also endeavors to recover associated gas, which is used for power generation or fed into the pipeline network of west-east gas transmission, which greatly reduces air pollution in the operation area and achieves good economic benefits. Now the oilfield's wastewater treatment mainly includes three aspects, oil extraction wastewater is mainly treated by reinjection into the ground and natural evaporation in the evaporation pool, oil extraction wastewater accounted for 60% of the total wastewater ratio, chemical production wastewater is mainly after sewage treatment to meet the national secondary standards for greening and recycling, and domestic wastewater is discharged into the municipal pipeline network system and used for greening after treatment. The oilfield also finances the greening of desert highways and the construction of greening plots in the operation areas (the water sources are all treated water from domestic water). The oilfield's investment in environmental protection now accounts for 4% of the total investment. The general feeling is that the oilfield is now paying a lot of attention to environmental protection, and the rules and regulations are also relatively sound, and the environmental protection meaning of the leaders has also reached a certain level, but the specific implementation of the situation still needs to go to the site to understand.
After having lunch with Li Minghe, he returned to the hotel and rested for half an hour before transferring to Luntai, where he arrived at 8:30 p.m. He found a hotel next to the station and simply settled down for dinner. Then we rested and prepared to visit the county government and some communities tomorrow.
9.28 Diary
Waking up early this morning, the weather in Luntai was really nice. By 11:00 am, the sun was shining down like a pinprick, so it's no wonder that this place is the Gobi. In general, I feel that the residents here are a lot darker than the mainlanders, so there are fewer pretty girls on the street, but the Viennese girls seem to love to dress up, and many of the young women wear thicker makeup.
Luntai County has about 130,000 permanent residents, about half of whom live in towns and cities. Before the oil industry developed, Luntai's main financial income came from agriculture, growing cotton, corn and wheat. Now, thanks to the support of the oil industry, Luntai's annual revenue can now reach about 1.2 billion dollars. Of that, tax revenue from the oil fields can account for about 60 percent, but recently, due to the transfer of more than 40 oil wells to nearby Aksu, revenue from oil has fallen by about 20 percent.
We started the morning with a visit to the Environmental Protection Bureau of Lantai City to learn more about what Lantai has been doing in recent years in terms of environmental protection and the state of the environment in general. At the bureau, we were surprised to find that six of the nine staff members, from the secretary to the chief inspector, were ethnic Uyghurs, making it a veritable Uyghur community (about 80 percent of the county's Uyghurs are ethnic Uyghurs), and we learned that half of the staff in the county's administrative organs are ethnic Uyghurs as well.
At the Environmental Protection Bureau, we learned that there are basically no major environmental problems in the area under the jurisdiction of the Lantai City Environmental Protection Bureau. The air quality in the city has been relatively good for many years, as the county is dominated by companies serving the oilfields and those carrying out oil and gas refining and downstream deep processing. The main work of the city's Environmental Protection Bureau and Environmental Inspection Brigade is to inspect industrial, mining and other establishments and collect pollution fees. As for the two industrial parks in Lantai, the enterprises in the industrial parks enjoy privileges in all aspects due to direct investment by the leaders of the municipal party committee. In the first few years of the Hongqiao Industrial Park, the Environmental Protection Bureau was not even allowed to enter the industrial parks, and it was only in the last few years that the Environmental Protection Bureau started to take over some of the licenses issued and some of the pollution fees charged (mainly due to the fact that some of the small enterprises violated the environmental standards by using coal as fuel), but most of the projects were also "first in line". Most projects are "first on the bus, then on the ticket," with environmental impact assessments and other permits issued after the project is set up, construction begins and production begins.
In the afternoon, we went to the city's Development and Reform Commission, the Planning Bureau and the Bureau of Statistics to get a general idea of the current social and economic development of Lantai and its recent plans. Since the development of the Tahe oil field began in 1996, the economy of the Luntai region has taken off. In recent years, the overall strength of Luntai County's economy has increased significantly, and the industrial structure has been continuously optimized. The county's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to reach 1.216 billion yuan in 2005, an increase of 1.8 times that of 2000, with a five-year average growth rate of 22.9%. Local financial income is expected to reach 230 million yuan in 2005, an increase of 94.9% over 2000, with a five-year average growth of 14.28%. Of that, tax revenue from the oil fields can account for about 60 percent, but recently, due to the transfer of more than four dozen oil wells to nearby Aksu, revenue from oil is about 20 percent less.
The total investment in fixed assets during the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" period amounted to 1.667 billion yuan, with 570 million yuan expected to be invested in 2005, an increase of 1.6 times the 219 million yuan invested in 2000, and an average growth rate of 21.08 percent over the five-year period. The per capita net income of farmers and herdsmen is expected to reach 4,100 yuan in 2005, an increase of 79.3% over the 2,286 yuan in 2000, with an average annual growth rate of 12.4%.
Individual private enterprises in the county are expected to develop to 169 in 2005, an increase of 2 times over 2000, an average annual growth of 40% during the "Tenth Five-Year" period; registered capital is expected to be 419 million yuan in 2005, an increase of 12.6 times over 2000; employees are expected to be 2,455 in 2005, an increase of 1.8 times over 2000; and the number of employees is expected to be 2,455, an increase of 1.8 times over 2000, an increase of 1.8 times. In 2005, the number of employees is expected to be 2,455, an increase of 1.8 times over 2000; individual business households are expected to grow to 3,691 in 2005, an increase of 20% over 2000.
In addition, Luntai County has set up two chemical industrial parks, with more than 50 enterprises in the zones, mainly oilfield service enterprises and deep-processing enterprises of petroleum downstream products. The petroleum and petrochemical-based leading industries to establish, and the initial embodiment of the petroleum and petrochemical industry agglomeration effect, has become an important pull force for the development of the industrial economy of Luntai County. 2005 parks to complete the industrial added value accounted for 75.8% of the county's industrial added value.
In addition to oil, Luntai County has also accelerated the pace of development of other mineral resources. In addition to the technical transformation of the coal production capacity of 1.08 million tons per year, Luntai County has basically completed the integration of nine 90,000-ton coal production capacity transformation enterprises. Xinmin Group is implementing a 1.2 million tons coal development project in Yangxia mining area and completing the detailed resource investigation work. At the same time, in Luntai County trade department's investment list, we see that several other mineral projects are also in the investment.
Through interviews, we learned that the lives of ordinary people in Luntai have changed a lot in the last four years, which is reflected in the per capita income data published in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan. 2005, the per capita disposable income of urban residents is expected to reach 7,239 yuan, and the per capita income of farmers and herdsmen is expected to reach 4,100 yuan, an increase of 79.3 percent over 2000. In 2005, the per capita disposable income of urban residents is expected to reach 7,239 yuan, and the per capita net income of farmers and herders is expected to reach 4,100 yuan, an increase of 79.3 percent over 2000 and an average annual growth rate of 12.4 percent; the registered unemployment rate in cities and towns is expected to be controlled at less than 3.5 percent, realizing the goal of the Tenth Five-Year Plan that it should be controlled at 4.0 percent.
Finally, at the county water conservancy bureau, we heard some more serious stories. Luntai is located in the Tianshan Mountains sheltered slopes, the snowy mountain meltwater less than the northern slopes, and rainfall is very little, so there are only nine mountain streams and rivers here, and all of them are inland rivers, can only flow to the Tarim River 30-40 kilometers away from the place of the demise in the Gobi. Residence information estimates that Luntai available groundwater reserves in the 90 million cubic meters, Luntai city residents living in about 1.2 million cubic meters of water per year, which does not include the rural and pastoral areas of the machine wells of agricultural irrigation of groundwater withdrawals, the oil fields each year the amount of groundwater withdrawal in the 2 million cubic meters or so, such withdrawals are not said to have an impact on the groundwater level, but in fact, the Luntai city of the groundwater level has fallen in recent years. Groundwater levels have fallen by several meters in recent years, with some artesian wells now unable to produce water, and groundwater levels in the nearby countryside have also fallen by several meters, with machine wells being drilled at ever deeper depths.
Several problems exist in the use of water resources in Luntai:
First, although the Tahe oil field is located in Luntai, it is not subject to the control of the county government in many ways, for example, in the environment it is under the control of the state government's oil field environmental monitoring brigade, and in the water conservancy, the oil field has its own groundwater intake devices, and it just pays the county water conservancy bureau the water resource use fee of about a few cents to 10 cents per ton. Now the county urban area of groundwater withdrawal depth of about 200 meters, and the oilfield is located in the region due to shallow groundwater mineralization is relatively high, so they are now generally drilling depth of more than 400 meters, this deep groundwater due to the existence of stratigraphic isolation and shallow water, the recharge is very difficult, generally at least a few hundred years, and therefore in the international is not allowed to be extracted, but the oilfield of this pumping to also belong to the "get on the bus first, then buy a ticket", the local government can not control.
Secondly, the same problem exists in the two industrial parks in Luntai County, where companies play their own wells to extract groundwater, pumping depth and water consumption are decided by themselves, just to the Water Resources Bureau routinely report, report more or less Water Resources Bureau can not control. As the industrial park enterprises are the county leaders to attract the introduction of a variety of formalities, a variety of regulations, they can be operated extrajudicially, without the interference of the local departments.
In some other aspects, we inquired about is that the average income level of local residents is still relatively low, the county civil servant's salary of about 1,000 yuan per month, the industrial park of the general business employees a month can only get four, five hundred dollars. In villages and towns, agricultural incomes are generally better than those of the Uyghurs because Han Chinese farmers are willing to use chemical fertilizers and carry out their farming more carefully. In the city, those who run small businesses generally earn at least a thousand yuan a month. The price level in Luntai County is no lower than in Korla, and prices in both cities seem to be higher than in Urumqi, which confirms Mr. Cui Yanhu's jibe: "Wherever Big Brother Oil goes, prices go up." Here the price of housing is not high, the city's ordinary residential per square meter in five or six hundred yuan or so, some of the new district opening price of one thousand four hundred and five hundred yuan, lower than the price of the new district of Korla about one thousand seventy-eight hundred yuan per square meter is expected to with the rapid development of the energy industry, the prices of the two cities will be enhanced. Wenzhou people's sense of smell has been keenly stretched to here, Luntai County, the most present-day atmosphere of a mall residence that is said to be Wenzhou people open.
