Recently, this reporter visited the "Wanshan Chaowang" sightseeing platform , where numerous tourists were seen admiring the breathtaking scenery. On August 14^th, the Qingyuan Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism Bureau announced that the "Wanshan Chaowang" scenic area in Liannan Yao Autonomous County had been designated as a National 4A-level tourist attraction. 

In recent years, Liannan Yao Autonomous County has seized the opportunity of the "Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project " initiative, fostering sustained, healthy, and stable economic and social development across the county.

Industrial parks usher in a new era of high-quality development

A vibrant landscape of high-quality industrial development is gradually unfolding in Liannan. 

In August 2018, the Liannan Rice-Fish-Tea Modern Agriculture Industrial Park  was selected for the third batch of provincial-level modern agriculture industrial park construction plans in Guangdong Province. To date, the county's rice, fish, and tea agricultural products have gained two new organic certifications and nine organic conversion certifications, and three products have been branded with the prestigious "Guangdong Honored Brand " label. The "Liannan Daye Tea" has received national geographical indications for agricultural products, while the rice field fish has passed the provincial evaluation for the same status. Both "Liannan Daye Tea" and "Gaoshan Daoxiang Rice " have been recognized as nationally famous brands, special, excellent, and new agricultural products. The tea products have also garnered a national gold medal, a national silver medal, three provincial silver medals, and one provincial quality award, showcasing the growing influence of these brands.

Besides, the Qingyuan Liannan Industrial Park, located within Zhaigang Town , was established in 2011. In May 2023, the Department of Industry and Information Technology of Guangdong Province recognized it as a provincial-level industrial park, officially named the "Guangdong Liannan Industrial Park." With a total planned area of 12,700 acres, the park currently hosts 11 enterprises, primarily focused on new materials, biotechnology, hardware, stone, plastic, and metal industries, including four large-scale enterprises . In 2023, the park achieved an industrial output value of approximately 293 million yuan, contributed tax revenue of around 11 million yuan, and provided employment for 1,110 people. Upon completion of all three industrial bases, the annual industrial output value is projected to reach 25 billion yuan.

Forging a new identity in ethnic culture and ecotourism

Earlier this year, the "Red of the Yao Mountains" Rural Revitalization Demonstration Belt in Liannan was successfully selected as one of the "Guangdong Province's Top Ten Rural Revitalization Demonstration Belt s," earning a reward of 100 million yuan in funding. 

Spanning 100 kilometers in length, this demonstration belt aligns with the geography of Liannan, stretching north-south and narrowing east-west, from Jinkeng Village in Sanjiang Town to Huanglian Village in Damai Mountain Town. Along Provincial Highway S261, it connects five towns and 60 administrative villages, benefiting over 110,000 farmers, and serving as a significant platform for promoting high-quality development in ethnic regions in Liannan.

The "Wanshan Chaowang" scenic area, nestled in central Liannan, has witnessed a surge in visitors following its recent designation as a National 4A-level tourist attraction. "I heard that Liannan has a new 4A-level tourist attraction, so I brought my family here for a few days during the summer vacation," said Mr. Xie from Guangzhou, who was taking a family photo at the scenic area. He added that the trip had been enriching for his children, who experienced the cultural charm and natural beauty of the Yao people firsthand. 

"More and more tourists are coming to Liannan now," said Aunt Li, who runs a farmhouse in the area. With the increasing number of visitors, her business has flourished. Her son, who originally worked outside the county, was also prompted to return home to help manage the farmhouse.

清远连南：激活产业园和乡村文旅发展活力，千年瑶寨生机勃发

近日，记者来到万山朝王观景台，看到许多游客在此处驻足欣赏美景。8月14日，清远市文化广电旅游体育局发布公告，确定连南瑶族自治县万山朝王景区为国家4A级旅游景区。

近年来，连南瑶族自治县正乘着“百千万工程”的东风，促进全县经济社会持续健康稳定发展。

产业园引领高质量发展新篇章

在连南这片热土上，一幅高质量发展的产业新图景正徐徐展开。

2018年8月，连南稻鱼茶现代农业产业园入选广东省第三批省级现代农业产业园建设计划。　截至目前，连南全县稻鱼茶农产品新增有机认证2个、有机转换认证9个，“粤字号”产品3个，“连南大叶茶”通过国家农产品地理标志认定，稻田鱼申报国家农产品地理标志通过省级评审，“连南大叶茶”“高山稻香米”齐获国家级名特优新农产品称号，茶产品还获得国家级金奖1个、国家级银奖1个、省级银奖3个、省级优质奖1个等荣誉，品牌作用逐步显现。

与此同时，位于寨岗镇境内的清远连南产业园区，始建于2011年。2023年5月，省工业和信息化厅认定连南民族生态产业园为省产业园，定名为“广东省连南产业园”。该园区规划用地总面积12700亩，现有企业共11家，以新材料、生物科技、五金、石材、塑料金属等产业为主，其中规上企业4家。2023年园区实现工业总产值约 2.93亿元，缴纳税金约1100万元，解决就业1110人。据介绍，三个产业基地全面建成并完善后，工业年产值可达250亿元。

打造民族文化与生态旅游新名片

今年年初，据广东省农业农村厅官网消息，连南“瑶山那抹红”乡村振兴示范带成功入选“广东省十大乡村振兴示范带”，获得奖励经费1亿元。

据了解，连南“瑶山那抹红”乡村振兴示范带全长100公里，与连南地形相对应，该示范带呈南北长、东西窄的形状，从三江镇金坑村至大麦山镇黄莲村，沿省道S261线串珠成链，带动沿线5个镇、60个行政村，联农带农11万人，是连南推进民族地区高质量发展的重大平台。

而位于连南中部的万山朝王景区，在不久前被评为国家4A级旅游景区后，游客日渐增多。“听说连南新增了一个4A级旅游景区，我趁着暑假带家人来住上几天。”在万山朝王景区，来自广州的谢先生正和家人拍全家福，他表示，这次过来让孩子实地感受了瑶族的文化魅力和自然风光，收获颇丰。

“现在来连南旅游的游客越来越多了。”在连南经营农庄的李阿姨表示，随着游客数量的不断增加，农庄的生意更加火爆，她原本在外地务工的儿子也选择返乡协助经营。
