A row of laundry pools covered with white tiles, villagers waving a mallet to lightly beat the clothes... Every morning, Xujiachong Village, a small village on the left bank of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River, will meet There was the sound of hammers.
In 1993, in order to support the construction of the Three Gorges Project, Xujiachong Village, located at the dam site, took the lead in immigrating. Villagers left the place where their ancestors lived, came to new homes, and established Xinxujiachong Village with immigrants from other villages. The
generation did their laundry by the river. In order to comply with the immigrant riverside life tradition, Xujiachong Village introduced mountain spring water and built 4 public laundry pools for convenience. Tan Bizhen, a villager in Taipingxi Town, is a frequent visitor to the convenience laundry pool. She said: "The laundry pool uses mountain spring water and phosphorus-free washing powder, and the sewage can only be discharged into the river after being purified by the treatment plant."

"Together to focus on large-scale protection, not to engage in large-scale development." During his inspection in Yichang, General Secretary Xi Jinping set rules for the development and construction of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Liu Zhengqing, a villager in Xujiachong Village, still remembers the scene when she met the general secretary. She said: "The villagers have expressed that they want to start from themselves, strive to be ecological villagers and build new homes. It can be seen that the general secretary spontaneously advocates for our villagers. I am happy to protect the mother river of the Yangtze River.” Xu Jiachong Village is the core area of the Three Gorges ecological barrier, the Yangtze River Scenic Reserve, National Nature Reserve, natural forest and other areas where multiple ecological red lines overlap and interweave. Focusing on the general tone of green development, in recent years, most of the land in Xujiachong Village has been returned to forests, and most of the land has been returned to forests.The forest coverage rate has reached more than 90%, and a small amount of cultivated land has been cultivated with tea trees. The concept of the protection of the Yangtze River is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is constantly changing the villages along the river. Today, in Xujiachong Village, garbage classification has been achieved, and phosphorus-free detergents have been selected to ensure that the river flows eastward. The villagers of Xujiachong do laundry with sticks and sing the tune of fishing drum , which also attracts tourists from all over the world.
"The First Village of Batou Kushou" has formed a green industrial system with flourishing new business forms such as red tourism, specialty catering, boutique hotels and homestays, and Three Gorges Cultural and Creative Industries.
