It is reported that Nanchouhu Village raised funds through various channels to build a civilized and ecological village, with a total of 890,000 yuan invested in construction so far. In just over eight months, the village achieved remarkable improvements in both its ecological surroundings and the spirit of its residents, completely transforming its former state of “dirtiness, disorder, and poor conditions.” It has now become an upscale, high-quality civilized and ecological village where beautiful scenery abounds and the lake blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Nanchouhu Village currently has 60 households and 319 residents, with 720 mu of sloping land and 260 mu of paddy and dry fields. The village’s main industry is rubber cultivation, with each household planting an average of 11 mu of rubber, making it a locally renowned “rubber village.”
The people of Nanchouhu took the initiative to significantly improve the village’s appearance. No hired laborers or construction teams were used in the village’s development. Through the independent and collective efforts of the villagers, over 9,500 labor days were contributed, saving the village nearly 100,000 yuan in construction costs. Structures such as pigsties, cowsheds, woodsheds, and kitchens that detracted from the village’s appearance were demolished; 19 roads including the lakeside path, village entry roads, and lanes totaling 2,531 meters were paved; and drainage ditches were built to purify the village environment. Notably, the village made full use of a 48-mu natural pond at the front of the village. Through environmental improvements, greening, and beautification efforts, a picturesque leisure park was created around the pond. Fish and ducks were raised in the pond, which not only enhanced the village’s greenery and aesthetics but also increased farmers’ income. Additionally, new facilities were built, including a cultural publicity room, sports and activity plaza, propaganda corridor, basketball and volleyball courts, and leisure spots, providing spaces for cultural and sports activities. These efforts have helped organize spiritual civilization initiatives, improve the civility of residents, and shape a new type of farmer. (Reporter: Li Xin)
Haikou’s Nanchouhu Village: Biogas Benefits Farmers
News from Nanhai Net, December 1 (Reporter Wu Wenxia): Nanchouhu Village in Hongqi Town, Qiongshan District, Haikou, is a civilized and ecological village. On the morning of December 1, reporters learned that biogas construction has not only beautified the environment but also boosted the livestock industry and enriched villagers’ incomes.
At the home of villager Fu Xuezhen, the reporter saw that the family uses biogas stoves, biogas cookers, and has installed a biogas water heater. Fu Xuezhen explained that her family of 12 owns 9 mu of paddy fields and 11 mu of sloping land, with the sloping land mainly planted with rubber. Before using biogas and adopting scientific farming methods, each mu of land required 80 kg of chemical fertilizer per year. Now, with biogas-enabled scientific farming, only 40 kg is needed per mu. This means a savings of 120 yuan per mu, adding up to 2,400 yuan per year for the family’s 20 mu of land.
According to reports, Nanchouhu Village has 60 households and 319 residents. Since 2007, the village has aimed to develop rural biogas and increase farmers’ incomes by innovatively implementing a model of “joint household planning, joint pen construction, joint biogas pool construction, joint gas supply, and joint management.” Following the “three unifications” — unified design, unified model, and unified construction — the village has carried out “one pool, three renovations” biogas projects. This involves consolidating pigsties, building biogas pools under the pens, sharing one toilet between two households, and managing them collectively for scientific pig farming. To date, the village has invested 273,000 yuan in construction, building one 80-cubic-meter underground biogas pool, 15 shared 320-cubic-meter biogas pools, with 50 households using biogas, achieving an 83.3% biogas penetration rate.
Through the effective combination of civilized and ecological village development and biogas construction, the village has transformed its long-standing issues of dirtiness, disorder, and poor conditions. Now, the village enjoys a clean and beautiful environment, and the quality of life for its residents continues to improve. At the same time, biogas construction has revitalized the livestock industry and promoted the development of a circular agricultural economy. According to the village head, the village now raises over 1,000 pigs, and farmers use biogas fertilizer to grow economic crops such as rubber and bananas, creating a virtuous cycle of agricultural and farmer prosperity.
