As the summer tourism season reached its peak, Jiulong Lake Town in Zhenhai District, Ningbo, emerged as a sought-after destination for tourists seeking to escape the heat. Known for its breathtaking natural beauty, numerous homestays, and convenient accessibility, this picturesque town has become a go-to spot for summer getaways.
On August 2nd, staff from the State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Ningbo Electric Power Supply Company conducted thorough power safety inspections at various “all-electric homestays” in Jiulong Lake Town. This proactive measure aimed to ensure that tourists enjoy a seamless and comfortable experience during their stay, free from any worries about power outages or safety concerns.
Jiulong Lake Town has witnessed significant transformation in recent years, fueled by the “Common Prosperity Workshop” initiative. This initiative, a key component of Ningbo’s broader development strategy, seeks to revitalize rural areas by promoting economic growth and extending the benefits of urban prosperity to rural communities. The program has successfully created unique “all-electric homestays” in Jiulong Lake Town, drawing tourists and boosting the local economy.
These “all-electric homestays” are a testament to the initiative’s success, leveraging local resources such as land, housing, and labor to provide employment opportunities for farmers, particularly those from low-income backgrounds. This has fostered economic growth within the community, empowering local residents and strengthening the overall economic fabric of the region.
The State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Ningbo Electric Power Supply Company has been a staunch supporter of the agritourism industry in Jiulong Lake Town, playing a pivotal role in the promotion of “all-electric homestays.” These accommodations are entirely powered by electricity, ensuring a sustainable, low-carbon approach for cooking, heating, lighting, and hot water. The company has actively promoted the adoption of energy-efficient equipment and innovative energy consumption models while providing streamlined services and regular customer support. These efforts are in line with China’s ambitious “dual carbon” goals, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and accelerate the transition to sustainable practices.
As visitors explore Zhenhai’s “Common Prosperity Workshops,” they witness the transformative impact of rural tourism development firsthand. The initiative has empowered local communities to work together, creating a prosperous and sustainable future for the region. The successful transformation of Jiulong Lake Town serves as an inspiring example of how rural communities can leverage their resources to become vibrant tourist destinations while contributing to national sustainability goals.
