Water resources

There are Luxi River, Meitan River and Lanjiang River in Lanjiang township. The river drop is large and there is a broad prospect for hydropower development. Four hydropower stations have been built with an installed capacity of more than 6000 kW.

tourist resources

Yuntai Mountain, with beautiful scenery and peculiar landscape, is one of the 13 scenic spots of Longhu Mountain at an altitude of 858.2 meters. According to the information of Longhu Mountain scenic spot, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, came to Yuntai mountain to practice Taoism, collect herbs and pills, and built a temple for practicing and lodging at the top of the mountain in the late Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 124). In the second year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong traveled to the south of the Yangtze River to write poems happily, and "granted Yuntai Mountain by imperial edict". The carved stone tablet has been preserved to this day. Covering an area of 64000 square meters, it is close to mountains and rivers, with unique design and exquisite materials. The well preserved Huizhou Ming and Qing architectural complex has a history of more than 200 years. The whole building is in the shape of "pin", which is divided into four parts: Zeng's ancestral hall, Yutang garden, Jingxue academy and residence Most of the buildings have been listed as "provincial famous historical and cultural village" and "cultural relic protection unit"; there are newly discovered beautiful Tiantai Mountain waterfalls, with a drop of nearly 30 meters, which are the highlight of nature and a good place for ecotourism.

economic construction

In order to give full play to the advantages of tourism resources and build Lanjiang into an extension of Longhu Mountain tourism, around the tourism development idea of making Yuntai Mountain as "spirit", building complex as "ancient", Tiantai Mountain as "show", and bijiafeng as "high", the township has set up a tourism development company, done a good job in tourism development and design, produced a publicity film of Lanjiang scenery, held a picture exhibition of Lanjiang scenery, and added We should increase investment in tourism infrastructure and vigorously develop tourism. Nearly 20000 tourists have come to Lanjiang for leisure and holiday, and tourism has gradually become a new highlight of local farmers' income and financial growth. in order to speed up the cultivation of rice transplanting machine in flue-cured tobacco seedling greenhouse, Lanjiang Township, combined with the advantages of resources, made use of "three faces" (smiling face investment, smiling service, black face rectification), achieved "four ones" (large and small projects together, domestic and foreign investment together, soft and hard environment together, township and village cadres together), made great efforts to optimize the environment and implement investment promotion. In 2002, a total of 10 million yuan of investment was introduced. In 2003, six projects were signed. Fujian merchants and Zhejiang merchants were introduced to invest in the construction of Fuyuan power station, Jinshawan power station, Yuntai power station, Henggang bamboo wire drawing factory, chess factory, wood processing factory, etc. the contract capital was 46 million yuan, and the actual capital was 15 million yuan. The investment attraction has become another bright spot of farmers' income increase and financial growth, and the financial growth was completed in 2003 The income is 1.09 million yuan. In combination with retreating (residents in Zengjia building group quit), moving (mountain residents immigrate into town) and returning (business personnel return home to start a business), the platform is built to adhere to the "five high" standard and carry out the construction of market towns. The planning and Design Institute of Hunan Normal University has been invited to carry out high standard design for Lanjiang market town. The preliminary planning area is 10.36 hectares. Yuntai Road, the main road in the planning area of the market town, has been filled with foundation, and three links and one leveling are in progress. Through market operation, the land has been auctioned. The new town integrates commerce, tourism and people with complete functions and unique style, which has set up a platform for the economic development and tourism development of Lanjiang. Lanjiang Township adheres to the strategy of sustainable development. We will implement the plan of returning farmland to forest with an area of 2000 mu, vigorously develop bamboo shoot dual-use forests and high-yield moso bamboo forests, and actively close Hillsides for afforestation. We have developed 10000 mu of bamboo shoot dual-use forests, 12000 mu of Hillsides for afforestation, 440000 cubic meters of forest stock, and 8.43 million live bamboos. The pattern of "distant mountain, high mountain, forest mountain, low mountain, near mountain, flower and fruit mountain, paddy field, dry field and high yield field" will be gradually formed. Invigorate the circulation, and formulate the operation and management mode of household production, household development, household settlement, unified sales and unified tax payment. The management order of wood and bamboo market was rectified and standardized, the traditional concept of "relying on the mountain to eat the mountain" was broken, and the management way of "raising the mountain, managing the mountain, developing the forest and protecting the forest" was formed. cultivation of Rice Mechanical Transplanting in flue-cured tobacco seedling greenhouse the experimental demonstration of cultivation of Early Rice Mechanical Transplanting in flue-cured tobacco floating seedling greenhouse was carried out in Lanjiang, Luoqiao and other towns in Changning City, and it was successful. Relevant provincial and municipal leaders praised this as an innovative move of Changning in the technology of centralized rice seedling raising. According to Guo Huaxin, who is in charge of technical guidance at the seedling raising demonstration site dispatched by Changning Agricultural Bureau, the technical points of cultivating rice transplanting by machine in the flue-cured tobacco seedling greenhouse are as follows: < br > a standardized flue-cured tobacco seedling greenhouse has 30 seedling raising pools, each pool is 48m2 (20m long and 2.4m wide), and the total area of seedling raising pools is about 1440m2. If it is used for rice transplanting by machine, 7800 seedling raising trays can be set up, and the number of seedlings can be increased It can be planted 350-400 mu.
There are three obvious advantages: 1. Make full use of the resources. There is no seasonal contradiction between tobacco seedling and rice seedling. Generally, tobacco seedlings are sown in early December and transplanted to the field in the middle of March next year. After seedling cultivation, the greenhouse is idle and the seedlings are not raised again until December. During the period when the seedling greenhouse is idle, it can be used for rice transplanting. After early rice transplanting, it can also be used for middle and late rice transplanting to improve the comprehensive utilization rate of resources and achieve a win-win situation of tobacco and rice. ② Rice and tobacco have no common diseases and will not cause disease spread. ③ The greenhouse has perfect temperature, humidity, light, irrigation and drainage facilities, and is equipped with insect prevention net, which can make the management of rice seedling simple and easy, especially can make the early rice seedling avoid the adverse weather effects such as low temperature and freezing injury.
