Li Zu Village is located in the northwest of Yiwu, with a straight-line distance of no more than 15 minutes by car from the urban area of Yiwu. It is reported that the earliest people living on this land were the Li family. Later, as the Fang family migrated to this area and the number of people became more and more, the Li family gave the entire village to them. In order to express gratitude to the Li family, this village was named "Li Zu Village".

Li Zu Village used to have a nickname, called "Water Buffalo Corner Village". It used to be located in a remote and unknown area, with a dirty and chaotic environment.

Over the past 20 years, the "Ten Million Project" has brought tremendous changes to rural areas in Zhejiang, including Li Zu Village.

The village square is known as the "Gongfu Market", where a variety of distinctive agricultural products are displayed.

In recent years, Li Zu Village has vigorously developed rural tourism and formed a distinctive cultural and tourism brand called "Courtesy Ancestor", receiving over 200000 visitors annually. The village continues to promote farmer entrepreneurship and introduce entrepreneurial entities, with 52 types of entrepreneurial entities introduced. Last year, the per capita disposable income of villagers reached 52000 yuan.

Li Zu Village is a vivid epitome of the "Ten Million Project" and also carries the countless expectations of rural construction.

Yiwu, which is neither facing the sea nor along the border, has created miracles of "making something out of nothing" and "turning stones into gold". General Secretary is particularly concerned about Yiwu. During his time working in the local area, he came here 12 times for research and investigation.

Within Yiwu International Trade City, there are foreign businesses from all over the world.

The General Secretary has repeatedly talked about the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train starting from Yiwu and ending in Madrid, Spain. This 13000 kilometer long route has become an important bridge for the interconnection of the Eurasian continent. By the end of July this year, the Yiwu platform of the "Yixin Europe" China Europe freight train has accumulated over 6000 trains.

"Yixin Europe" has successively opened 18 point-to-point train mainlines, with a business scope covering more than 50 countries and 160 cities.
