Yulin, Yangguang. com, December 14 (Reporter Hou Kaiqi) "Wubao is not big, it is all gully." Along the winding Yellow River, deep into the hinterland of northern Shaanxi, a small town along the Yellow River, built on the water, is presented to people with a unique historical vein and cultural essence, and a "rich" landscape of cultural tourism integration and industrial prosperity has quietly appeared in Wubao.

New life in the city, creating a "small town model" for cultural co-prosperity
The reporter drove nearly 40 kilometers from the county seat to Sigou Village, Zhangjiashan Town, which is the hometown of famous writer Liu Qing. Crossing the gate of literature, a picture of literature slowly unfolds-the Liuqing Cultural Park, with the gate of literature, Liuqing Literature Museum, Liuqing Former Residence, Liuqing Private School and Liuqing Academy as the main body, bears the roots of northern Shaanxi literature in this small town.
The Liuqing Cultural Park consists of 77-hole kiln in northern Shaanxi. In the bright cave, the literary works and manuscripts of writer Liu Qing in all stages of his life and some precious manuscripts of contemporary Shaanxi writers are displayed. Remarkably, writers from all over the country expressed their admiration for Mr. Liu Qing. "Since the park was completed and opened in July 2020, it has attracted more than 200,000 tourists from all over the country to study and understand Liu Qing’s spirit of" going deep into the grassroots and keeping close to the times "." Xue Wei, the commentator of Liuqing Cultural Park, introduced it to you.

It is understood that since its construction, Liuqing Cultural Park has made active use of 176 idle and abandoned caves in Sigou Village, with a total rent and land acquisition of 1.62 million yuan, which has driven more than 150 people to work and promoted the people to increase their income by more than 3.1 million yuan. At present, it provides 17 jobs, and the live broadcast of agricultural assistance and research tours has brought benefits of 116,000 yuan to the village collective economy.
Standing on the cliff side of Sigou Village, the "two-way rush" of vast mountains and rivers and humanistic aesthetic education gave birth to the spiritual home of "Literature Shaanxi Army", which also allowed culture to infiltrate people’s lives and inject strong vitality into rural revitalization.
If we say that culture has given this small town a long history, then the incessant Yellow River water tells the story of days of our lives, the red revolutionary period when President Mao Zedong crossed the Yellow River.

On March 23, 1948, Chairman Mao’s last stop in northern Shaanxi was to cross the Yellow River from Wubaocha to Shangchuankou Village and leave northern Shaanxi. Chairman Mao’s Dongdu Yellow River Memorial Hall contains precious film materials during the course of Chairman Mao’s Dongdu Yellow River crossing and his move to northern Shaanxi, so that visitors can experience that extraordinary time personally.
Nowadays, the double charm of red feelings and natural scenery is slowly spreading in the Dongdu Scenic Area of the Yellow River. Along the sightseeing road along the Yellow River, Kawaguchi Village has become an important red tourist attraction and patriotic education base on this north-south tourist corridor, and it has also made Wubao a small town of the Yellow River that "stores" red cultural stories.
Deep integration, promoting the cultural tourism industry into the "fast lane"
"Wubao Shicheng is the first stone city in China with the most complete preservation, long architectural history and high cultural relics value in China. It is surrounded by water on three sides, the terrain is dangerous, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, just like an iron wall, so it is called’ Tongwu Fort’. " Li Jiaxin, the commentator of Wubao Shicheng Scenic Area, introduced it to you.

Covering an area of 90,000 square meters, Wubao Shicheng, relying on the historical "monument" of the ancient county town for thousands of years, has continuously enriched the tourism format of the scenic spot, and launched a brand-new experience mode integrating the display of military equipment culture and game experience. Visitors can experience the military parade, sergeant competition, archery, war game experience, script killing and other projects by wearing mysterious clothes and heavy armor, and feel the charm of military equipment culture on the spot, so that they can look back at the gold in the legendary Shicheng.

Xu Yuxi, head of the county’s cultural investment company, said: "Next year, we plan to continue to increase the excavation and operation of the film and television production base and the core scenic spot of Shicheng with the armament culture as the core, and strive to improve the comprehensive service quality of tourism, so as to inject new kinetic energy into the industry for the sustainable development and growth of wubu county."
The natural hot spring project covering an area of 124 mu in Henggou Village, Koujiayuan Town, about 11 kilometers away from Shicheng, Wubao, has brought remarkable comprehensive economic benefits to the promotion of cultural tourism industry projects in Wubao.
With extremely rare sulfur mineral resources, Henggou Hot Spring has become a "unique" hot spring in northern Shaanxi. The sulfur mineral spring is rich in 48 kinds of minerals and trace elements, which is the original gift from nature to Wubao. In 2023, Wubao Henggou Hot Spring was rated as "high-quality rare hot spring" in the national hot spring tourism spring quality rating.
Climbing the city wall, accompanied by the sound of the Yellow River, watching the hot springs gush … Many natural ecological landscapes and historical and cultural landscapes complement each other, and Wubao, which is in the process of urban renewal, is full of timeless and endless new vitality, making it more livable, suitable for business and suitable for traveling.
Industrial revitalization, noodles pull out the "golden thread" of villagers’ income.
"There is no sound insulation across the mountain and water, and a pair of dried noodles has tied two hearts." This song "Three Noodles Worship Heaven and Earth" is an episode from the film "A Handmade Noodles" made by wubu county. In recent years, hand-made hollow dried noodles, as one of the main industries in wubu county, have become the "main grasper" to promote industrial revitalization and promote people to get rich.
At 8: 30 in the morning, grinding noodles, mixing noodles, waking noodles, rubbing strips, and topping … In the "Noodles Brother" processing factory in Qianmiaoshan Village, Songjiachuan Sub-district Office, wubu county, the sound of machines rumbling in the modern noodle production workshop came one after another, and more than 30 women were making a batch of hollow noodles with quick hands and feet, and the rich wheat fragrance came to the sight, showing a busy production scene. Zhang Runqing, a villager, has put on his work clothes, dust-free hat, mask and cuff, and sat in front of the work station and started a day’s work.
"The factory is built at the door of the house, and there is a rush to get rich." While busy with the work at hand, Zhang Runqing said, "I used to work outside, but now the factory near my home is open. I can earn 100 yuan a day and more than 3,000 yuan a month. I didn’t expect that one day I could live a happy life with this skill without going far away!"

In recent years, Wubao has promoted the interest linkage mechanism of "leading enterprises+village collective economy+farmers", embedded farmers in the industrial chain through the forms of asset shareholding, factory employment and order acquisition, and distributed the income to relevant village collective economic cooperation organizations in the form of guaranteed dividends. "Our noodle processing factory can drive more than 40 surrounding villagers to find jobs, with a minimum salary of 3,000 yuan and a maximum salary of 8,500 yuan." Guo Rongliang, general manager of Wubao Noodles Ge Agricultural Products Development Co., Ltd. said.
"At present, we are actively exploring the standardization and large-scale production of handmade noodles. We want to move traditional family practices into factories, carry out digital and standardized production, avoid craft differentiation, and restore the taste of’ home’ with machines." Guo Rongliang introduced. "We also focus on innovative research and development of hanging fabric bags, and have created a variety of convenient noodles that meet the tastes and aesthetics of young people, such as dolphin bone hollow noodles and braised beef hollow noodles, so that young people can eat conveniently and healthily."
At present, there are more than 100 households with about 500 people engaged in noodle production in Wubao, and there are more than 10 noodle production enterprises, with an annual output of more than 6,500 tons and an output value of more than 85 million yuan. At the same time, actively build a regional public brand of "Men Wubao", develop a variety of special handmade hollow noodles such as carrots, spinach, wormwood and pitaya, and shoot a film "A Handmade Noodles" and a documentary "Looking for a Handmade Noodles" to further enhance the popularity and reputation of Wubao handmade hollow noodles, and increase the income for the masses with a Handmade Noodles.
One dried noodle stands a "snow-white harp" on the vast loess plateau, and silver silk pours under the light and shadow. Eat a bowl of light Wubao noodles without losing its true taste, and "taste" a bowl of rough but silky "rich fragrance".
Enjoy old age, and wisdom can enhance people’s happiness.
When you are tired, you can enjoy instrument massage, wear a smart bracelet, call with one button, and monitor your blood pressure without leaving home … Nowadays, more and more rural elderly people in Wubao live such a "tidal life".
Walking into the health hut in Henggou Village, the resident doctors in the village clinic are monitoring blood pressure for the 88-year-old Dong Ruquan by checking the smart bracelet. "The operation of this bracelet is very simple. You can monitor data such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and steps by clicking a button. If there is any abnormality, the bracelet will issue an early warning and notify the family members and us in time, so that treatment measures can be taken at the first time."

"There are 100 villages in Wubao, with a total of 1,326 smart bracelets worn by the elderly over 60 years old, so that the elderly can be tracked and monitored intelligently, so that the lives of the elderly can be guaranteed and their children can rest assured. Each village is equipped with a village doctor. If the elderly have sudden diseases, we can contact county and municipal hospitals for treatment at any time. " Yang Ruiping, director of the Minimum Living Security Center of wubu county Civil Affairs Bureau, introduced.
At 5 o’clock in the afternoon, in the Happiness Hospital of Dongzhuang Village, 84-year-old Wang Zengmin and his "old friends" had dinner together in the canteen, and they started a family conversation with reporters. "There are many kinds of food in the canteen. As long as one yuan is used for each meal, you can still eat well and feel very happy and satisfied!" Wang Zengmin said happily.
In recent years, wubu county has focused on "construction, management and service" and established a multi-level service pattern for the aged, which is based on home, supported by villages (communities) and supplemented by institutions, providing a strong guarantee for the elderly to realize their sense of security and hold up their happy dreams.
"At present, there are 62 elderly people in Dongzhuang Village Happiness Hospital who dine here for a long time. At the same time, they are equipped with basic medical facilities, provide free physical examination for the elderly, provide day care services, celebrate their birthdays every month, and create a healthy and happy’ retirement circle’ for the elderly." Wang Yanjun, secretary of the Party branch of Dongzhuang Village, introduced.
The Loess Plateau is picturesque, and the Yellow River has nine bends and eighteen bends. Wubao people used the development and changes along the banks of the Yellow River to make vivid annotations for "deeply excavating the times value contained in the Yellow River culture and telling the story of the Yellow River well", and the story of the prosperity and take-off of rural villages also surged with vitality along the rushing Yellow River water.
