location advantage

Hetaoxiang is one of the "satellite towns" in the overall planning and construction of Dafang County. The first high-grade highway in Northwest Guizhou, Dana highway (from Dafang in Guizhou to Naxi in Sichuan), runs through the whole territory. It is a veritable southwest sea access and material distribution center. GUI Bi highway shortens the distance from walnut to Guiyang. Hangrui (Hangzhou Ruili) Expressway and Xiarong (Xiamen Chengdu) Expressway, which started construction, pass by the countryside. Bijie Branch Airport, less than 5km away from the rural area, has been opened, and its location advantage is increasingly prominent. Nine villages in the township have access to water, electricity and roads.

Resource advantages

The territory is dominated by "mineral resources and biological resources". Mineral resources include coal, pyrite, kaolin, limestone, etc. Among them, limestone, kaolin, white cement and quartzite have large reserves, high grade and wide distribution, which are most suitable for the construction of ceramic industry. The main biological resources are tobacco, corn, pepper, potato and vegetables. Water resources are extremely rich. There are 1 luhaihai reservoir, 1 50 kW zhaixi hydropower station, and the transmission lines of China Southern Power Grid Corporation pass through the territory, which has a good guarantee of power resources. At the end of 2007, there were 18497 workers, including 7963 migrant workers.

Walnut township is a multi-ethnic Township with rich folk customs and unique characteristics. Since the reform and opening up, we have conscientiously implemented the party's ethnic policy to make the colorful ethnic festivals more colorful. There are Yi People's traditional October Festival, Yi People's Torch Festival, Bai People's reunion festival in March, Miao people's flower dancing Festival, and Gelao people's traditional sports activities. During the festival, people of all ethnic groups take the land of clear water, green and red as the natural stage, dress in costumes, sing and dance, compete for beauty and show their own colors.
