As the central government calls for consolidating the country's agricultural foundation, Zhan Zhaojie, a village Party chief in Sichuan province, marvels at his village's progress.

Zhan said that with the Wuyuan breeding and farming cooperative in operation, their Qilong village has attracted over 90 million yuan ($13.2 million) in farmers' capital, cultivating 23 specialty homestays and receiving 200,000 tourists annually.
