Look for business opportunities
Take the road of summer vacation and health care
The "Benefit Project" dangerous building reconstruction project has successfully gathered the hearts of the whole village, and the road to revitalizing the countryside has become wider and wider since then.
In Shikeng Village, there is the second parents’ canteen in Tingping Township. The elderly in the village can enjoy three meals a day only by paying 200 yuan’s food expenses every month, and the insufficient part is helped by the voluntary donations and materials from the rural sages.

"In addition to the elderly in the village, elderly people who come to travel for the summer can also eat here." Lai Qiwu, secretary of the Party branch of Shikeng Village, said that this elderly canteen is an important part of the village to build a migratory bird-style summer resort.
In recent years, the migratory bird-style summer vacation and health care model has become an important selling point for Tingping Township to build a brand of old-age care. The so-called migratory bird-style summer resort is to migrate to a place suitable for one’s life like a migratory bird according to the changes of seasons before the arrival of cool summer and severe winter. Shikeng village is one of the hot villages in this model.
In Shikeng Village, there is the highest mountain in the county-Niumu Mountain. The ancient trees in the mountains are intertwined with cangteng, and the strange peaks are on a par with the dangerous rocks. There are landscapes such as the first sight, camel peak, Yuzhu peak, Jiangjun rock and Kongmingyan. There is no heat in summer and no ice in winter here, and it is known as "Xishuangbanna" in Bamin. Every summer, more than 5,000 tourists come to visit, and more than half of them are middle-aged and elderly people. Seeing the business opportunities, the two committees of Shikeng Village decided to rely on good natural ecological resources to focus on developing recreational tourism.

In order to wake up the "sleeping" land resources, the party branch of Shikeng Village threw an "olive branch" to the rural sages. In 2019, Lai Qiming, a rural sage, returned to his hometown to take the lead in setting up Fengjing Eco-agriculture Company to build a vegetable planting base in Shikeng, and adopted the development model of "cooperative+farmers" to transfer more than 400 mu of land for planting cauliflower, corn, eggplant, loofah, etc., and develop the high-quality vegetable planting industry in the mountains, with an annual output value of about 2.4 million yuan. This effectively solves the problem of farmland abandonment, realizes agricultural efficiency and income increase, and also provides a good place for tourists who come to Kangyang to experience the four seasons farming.
In order to improve the living experience of tourists, the two committees of Shikeng Village actively mobilized the township leaders to contract the idle houses in the village and transform them into characteristic homestays on the basis of building five homestay cabins. Many villagers have changed the old idea that they would rather let their old houses go to waste than rent them to others. Like fellow villagers, they have transformed their old houses into characteristic homestays, adding icing on the cake to the development of their hometown.
With the increasing passenger flow, more villagers are willing to participate in creating a strong welcoming atmosphere, and public welfare performances organized by Tingping Township Party Committee and government from time to time often come to the village. Since then, it is common for villagers and tourists to make dumplings, cut rice, sing red songs and learn calligraphy together. The migratory bird-style summer vacation and health care model has increased the annual income of each villager by at least 3,000 yuan.
