Shengling Village, Anchang Street: Beautiful changes in the hometown of printing and dyeing

Entering Shengling Village, Anchang Street, Keqiao District from Hangzhou Bay Avenue, rows of golden rice fields contrast with each other, depicting a beautiful harvest picture. “It will be harvested in a few days. It will be many times more beautiful than the seedlings planted before.” 90-year-old villager Jiang Jinshou lives on crutches and comes to the rice fields for a walk every day. A few days ago, more than 10 cheongsam enthusiasts came to the rice fields and let him and the villagers watch a cheongsam show.

His favorite places to visit are the small park next door, which was renovated from an abandoned brick kiln factory and added fitness facilities and smart tourist public toilets, as well as the printing and dyeing park renovated from the space under the bridge, and the newly built Gongfu Station…” If only I could live longer, I could live such a good life for a few more years.” Jiang Jinshou sighed sincerely.

Shengling Village is known as the hometown of printing and dyeing. There were once four printing and dyeing enterprises in the village, including Xiaoshao Printing and Dyeing and Shengxing Dyeing and Finishing, with factories scattered throughout the village.

The abandoned factory buildings were transformed into 94 brand-new small bungalows. This year, Shengling Village is striving to become a “3A Demonstration Village” and has added a series of “micro-renovation and refined improvement” projects.

The workshop also provides oil pressing and rice cake making, providing convenience to villagers. “The village has also reached a cooperation with Guyue Longshan Shaoxing Wine Co., Ltd. with the help of local talents. In the future, this 120-acre glutinous rice field will be used as a raw material base for rice wine.” Xu Hanjun, secretary of the Shengling Village Party Committee, said.

The “dye vat” and “sauce vat” cultures are the characteristics of Shengling Village. Next to the village tourist service center, an abandoned factory building is about to be transformed into an intangible cultural inheritance and research base for sauce products. “By allowing tourists to experience the production techniques of sausages and duck with soy sauce, the ‘old taste’ lingering on the tip of the tongue is revitalized.” Tao Zhaogui, the “co-wealth instructor” of Anchang Street, said that the village is also building a strong village company for soy sauce products, which is expected to be More than 50 people in the village’s surplus labor force have been eliminated, and the village’s collective income has increased by more than 2 million yuan.
