Improved rural roads fuel chestnut‑industry boom in Shawo Village, Linshu

Upgraded rural roads have unlocked huge market potential for “Yimeng fine chestnuts” in Shawo Village of Qingyun Town, Linshu County. Well‑connected road networks help transport high‑quality chestnuts from 20,000‑mu chestnut groves to markets and drive integrated development of agriculture, processing and rural tourism.

Centered on Shawo Village, the “Yimeng fine chestnuts” demonstration zone unites ten neighbouring villages. Local authorities improved rural infrastructure, renovated old courtyards and built leisure campsites, coffee houses and creative workshops alongside chestnut orchards.

Fresh chestnuts are processed into chestnut paste, baked goods, preserved snacks and liquor, lifting product added value. Relying on improved transport links, agritourism projects such as chestnut‑picking experience, rural homestays and parent‑child camping attract massive tourist flows, bringing multiple income streams for villagers including land rent, factory wages and tourism‑related revenue.

The once‑remote mountain village has transformed into a well‑known internet‑famous rural destination. Linshu will further polish the “Yimeng fine chestnuts” brand and expand integrated industry chains for rural vitalization.
