Xiuning County: new life flourishes in new homes

The aerial photo shows the newly-built Yangtai village in Xiuning County on May 5. The old Yangtai village with more than 200 households was located near steep mountains and therefore was vulnerable to geologic hazards, posing a threat to the villagers' life and production. In recent years, the local government has invested more than 20 million yuan to carry out an overall relocation and constructed the new village following the standard of China's "beautiful countryside" project.
