In cooperation with Beijing Zhonggang Company through a shareholding partnership, Xihuangfa Village established a 160-mu flower base, cultivating over 20 varieties of premium flowers such as poinsettias and anthuriums, helping more than 50 households achieve prosperity. With investment from the district, town, village, and individual households, 375 steel-frame greenhouses and 150 greenhouses have been built over the past two years for growing watermelons and muskmelons. In 2005 alone, the income from the greenhouses exceeded 5 million yuan, with the highest income from a single greenhouse reaching over 10,000 yuan. Taking advantage of the village’s unique characteristics, Xihuangfa has also actively developed folk tourism. There are currently 20 specialized folk tourism households in the village. Last year, through activities such as sightseeing and fruit-picking, each household earned more than 20,000 yuan. In 2005, the per capita net income of Xihuangfa Village was 9,500 yuan. The village Party branch has been rated as a district-level “Advanced Grassroots Party Organization” for 11 consecutive years; it has been named a “Capital Civilized Village” for six consecutive years, a “National Civilized Village” for three consecutive years, and has also won titles such as National and Beijing Democratic and Legal System Demonstration Village.
