In the Linzhi area of China's Tibet autonomous region, known as the "Tibet Jiangnan" and "Oriental Switzerland", there is a small village named langse village.

However, there were only 8 families and 27 people in the village before long. The villagers basically depended on climbing up the mountain for firewood cutting. Due to the lack of labour, the villagers' rations were all problematic. With the development of Bassoon scenic area in 1995, the number of tourists passing through the area increased year by year. The local government saw opportunities and began to guide Lang village and surrounding villages and towns to get out of closed mountain forests. According to local cadre Sonam Wan said that this train of thought has brought new vitality to the small village: "the village was originally not clear about the house and the cattle ring, and the life was very difficult. Later, through the guidance of the government, the Ba River town was set up on the edge of the Sichuan Tibet highway, and langse village moved all over here. The government has invested about 1200000 yuan, most of which are invested in infrastructure.

Xiao NIM, the young deputy village head, witnessed the change of langse village. He excitedly spoke of the present appearance of the village: "we have the geographical superiority of langcun village first, and the people built the facade houses in the small town, which are engaged in local specialties, Tibetan house music, catering, service industry, handicraft management. Now the idea of the people began to change, mainly by means of tourism, geographical advantages and resource advantages (Development). The main income of our village is sideline income, and about 70% comes from tourism.

We wear ethnic costumes, let visitors take photos with us, and sell products such as Tricholoma matsutake and Cordyceps.

People with brains have started the business of purchasing, exporting and processing products with special characteristics, which has opened up a new source of income increase. Ma Yin Nuo from Gansu has been doing business in Lang village for 4 years. He can earn 7 yuan or 80 thousand yuan a year. He said, "there are a lot of local specialties in this area. I bought them from the common people, and the tourists from other places come here to see the local specialties, what they need and what we sell."

At present, nearly 9000 farmers and herdsmen in Tibet have participated in the tourism industry, creating 35 thousand non farm jobs, with a total annual income of 220 million yuan.

In order to realize the scientific development and management of the scenic spots, the overall planning of tourism development, the planning of scenic spots and the county tourism planning have been implemented in succession, and the eco-tourism will further lead the people of Tibet to a better life. "The biggest beneficiaries of tourism development are actually ordinary people," he said. The local people can directly put down the saw for cutting trees and pick up the rice bowl for traveling. In the past, when we did not travel, there were 1 or 2 commercial stores in Linzhi, and now it has developed to dozens or hundreds.

In the village, it is necessary to open up methane, so that people can really use clean energy. The villagers realized that the fate of the village had been closely linked to the fate of the ecological environment.

Today, langse village is planning another "relocation". They should choose to build a new larger village nearby, and lease all the villages and shops to foreigners. Many of them have started to get rich, and now they have higher spirits. Many of them have already started transportation and started brick and tile factories. Nim Ma village head said that the relocation would be another big step towards the prosperity of langse village.
