China News Service, Beijing, October 3 (Reporter Chen Hang) Gubei Miao Street in Miyun, Beijing, officially opened on the 2nd. This 1.4-kilometer old street relies on the renovation and upgrading of the original streets, old courtyards, and historical buildings of the ancient town. After more than half a year of preparation, it has appeared at the foot of the Great Wall in the suburbs of Beijing with a new look.
Gubeikou Town is the only famous Chinese historical and cultural town in Beijing. It retains the original local culture and original streets and alleys. Yaowang Temple, Yang Linggong Temple and Caishen Temple stand around the old streets, forming a unique pattern of "street-temple fusion".
Nowadays, the fragrance of coffee wafts from the eaves of ancient temples, craft breweries have opened along the bluestone roads, and pizzas are served in the courtyard of the old granary. The clever fusion of ancient charm and new trend can be seen everywhere in Gubei Miao Street. Wang Yongfu, secretary of the Party Committee of Gubeikou Town, Miyun District, Beijing, said that this is not a landscaping made out of thin air, but the result of the renovation of Miao Street by "restoring the old and revitalizing it."
According to reports, the renovation of Gubei Miao Street follows the principle of "minimum intervention, one policy for each house", first strengthening and repairing, and then revitalizing and utilizing it to preserve the traditional style to the maximum extent. The block innovation adopts the "recruitment through competition" model, attracting investment first and then constructing. Through non-standard host competitions, design plans and operating entities are solicited from all over the country, attracting a group of young designers and cutting-edge brands to settle in.
During the opening period, exciting activities were staged in turn. From the 2nd to the 4th, the neighborhood will hold the Dionysian Festival. Nearly 20 Chinese craft beer brands, including Niu Bei Tang, Dao Brewing, and Master Gao, will bring more than 100 canned craft beers. Special activities such as motorcycle patrols, folk performances, cute pet sports games, Great Wall Cycling Challenge, and nighttime open-air movies will continue to light up the holiday economy of the ancient town.
At the same time, Gubei Miao Street has built a common wealth workshop, integrating intangible cultural heritage handicrafts, folk experiences, and Miyun agricultural products into the neighborhood. Villagers can freely set up stalls in the specially set up agricultural products market. The Gubei Grand Canteen specializes in unique local flavors such as "packing pots", allowing local characteristics to remain stable. Wang Yongfu said that Miao Street is not only a commercial street built for tourists, but also connected to the villagers' wallets; it has introduced new business formats and new managers, and also retained the business projects of local villagers.
Relying on the construction of the Miaojie project, Gubeikou Town implements the joint development model of joint villages. All villages in the town collectively drive villagers to invest in shares and share dividends, achieving a transition from "co-construction of blocks" to "co-prosperity of areas." "Farmers can also deeply participate in the construction and development of the neighborhood through various channels such as house transfer, on-site employment, and independent operation." Wang Yongfu said that the reception rate of B&Bs and restaurants around the neighborhood continues to increase. Through neighborhood renovation, villagers will continue to benefit from it, and villagers will become more supportive of neighborhood development, allowing the rural endogenous development vitality to be continuously released.
It is understood that the "Great Wall 100 Non-standard Manager Recruitment Plan" was launched on the opening day of Gubei Miao Street. In the next three years, Gubeikou Town will recruit 100 "non-standard managers" with unique characteristics from all over the world, covering diverse business formats such as B&B, catering, cultural and creative, art, and experience. Launch a comprehensive and exclusive support policy to provide high-quality business space for selected managers, support exclusive decoration and renovation subsidies, set up a special entrepreneurial incubation fund, integrate publicity resources to create momentum and attract traffic, and help the industry exit the circle.
In the next step, Beijing's Miyun District will continue to deepen operations and strengthen empowerment, and build Gubei Miaojie into a typical case and benchmark demonstration of "non-standard managers" empowering rural construction, forming replicable and popularizable experience and practices, continuing to promote the quality and efficiency of rural industries, driving the masses to steadily increase their income and become rich, and find a new path for comprehensive rural revitalization that prioritizes ecology, empowers cultural tourism, and co-construction and sharing.
