brief introduction

Huaxi Village in Jiangsu Province is a standard sample of the richest village in mainland China. Its entrepreneurial history is like a myth: when the village was built in 1961, the collective accumulated 1764 yuan, the per capita distribution was 53 yuan, the per capita ration was half a catty, living on safflower.

In 2001, the industrial and commercial sales revenue of Huaxi village was 4.5 billion yuan. The poorest villagers had more than 500000 deposits, and the largest had more than 5 million. They lived in villas with an average area of 500 square meters and owned at least one car. In the past 40 years, almost all the important leaders of China, from Hua Guofeng to Jiang Zemin, have visited in person. Western media used to seeing China's poor villages call them "the first village in the world" and "China's Singapore".

There is a tower in the middle of the village, which is the landmark of Huaxi Village "Huaxi golden tower". When I entered the tower, I was faced with the inscription of the national leader: "the first tower in the world". I found that Huaxi tower is a combination of catering, hotels, shopping malls, visitors and sightseeing. I was arranged to have a rest in the hotel on the seventh floor. Hotel facilities are simple and practical, without luxury. Looking at the whole village from the window, I found some pavilions in the shape of goats, buffaloes and turtles scattered among them, with a simple form. Just as Wu Renbao said, "Huaxi village is not a foreign village."

The top floor of Huaxi gold pagoda is the sightseeing floor, with inspection photos and inscriptions of the central leaders hanging on the walls. Some tourists took photos in front of the four characters "West China pagoda" inscribed by President Jiang Zemin, while Li Peng twice inscribed: "West China village, the hope of rural China" and "West China village, the real hope".

On the top of the tower, there are four golden statues, representing "happiness of fortune, wealth and longevity". The explanation beside the statues is very interesting. The statue of the God of wealth reads: "in today's market economy, the purpose of setting up the statue of the God of wealth is to enable everyone to establish a correct concept of money and manage the family, enterprise and national finance fairly, reasonably and legally."

Features of scenic spots

Walking into Huaxi Village, you can see a complex of nine high-rise buildings from a distance. It's not like a tower, but a tower. It is much higher than the ordinary tower, and it is more sharp than the ordinary roof, with a golden gourd standing on the top. To be precise, these buildings are called "tower shaped buildings" or "tower shaped buildings". Each building in the tower group has a unique functional design, some are group office buildings, some are hotels, training centers, nutrition catering centers.

There is a square building with 17 floors and cornices on each floor, which is called "golden pagoda" in Western China. The pagoda was built in 1996 at a cost of 120 million yuan. This is a hotel. In Huaxi Village, where there are no high-rise buildings, the pagoda has become the landmark of Huaxi, which is very eye-catching in the village. On the tower, there is a gold plaque of "West China". The province and the city are omitted. Under "China" is "West China", which shows the popularity of "the first village in the world". The shining golden gourd on the top of the tower is made of 35 kilograms of gold. There is also a bronze sculpture at the gate, which is a "bull" Taurus with the earth at its feet. This "golden bull stepping on the earth" is the "village logo" of Huaxi village.

Huaxi pagoda presents the unique architectural elements of China, which is the symbol of Huaxi architecture. The 7-level tower design reflects Huaxi people's idea of accumulating virtue and doing good, and it is also the benchmark of Huaxi people's moral pursuit.
