ZHENGZHOU, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- It's getting cold, but villagers in the remote Xihecun Village in central China are still busy catering to tourists.

"Life was really tough in the past Cheap NFL Jerseys ," villager Zhang Sizhong said. "Back in 2004, my wife and I had to work in Shanghai to repay our debt and support our child's education."

Beginning in 2013, the local government decided to boost the village economy through tourism.
"Top design experts from the prestigious Tsinghua University and China Academy of Fine Arts were invited to renovate and transform the old buildings, and the overall layout of the village," Zhang Yimou said.

More than 360 hectares of land has been transferred, according to a report on web portal Sohu. So far, a variety of unique hotels have sprung up, including some with transparent glass roofs where visitors can see the sky at night, and others made of containers.
"We also introduce tourists to traditional techniques like oil-making, and spinning and weaving Cheap Jerseys From China ," the official said.
Zhang Sizhong opened his own family inn in 2015, and his business is booming,
"On the busiest day, we had about 16 tables of tourists," he said. "We employ six staff, but on that day we were still short of hands."
In the past four years Cheap Jerseys , the village attracted more than one million visitors, generating a revenue of more than 30 million yuan. About 1,200 locals work in the tourism industry, and their average annual salary per capita increased by about 6,000 yuan.
"I am confident that with proper planning, rural areas can have great futures Wholesale Authentic NFL Jerseys ," Zhang Yimou said.
Since the start of the reform and opening up, China has lifted more than 700 million people out of poverty.

China has set 2020 as the target year to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and eradicate absolute poverty in rural areas.
