Arriving at Xianqiao Village, Zhuxin Town, Chongming District, one can see that the rural houses along the road have been renovated, with white walls and green tiles, neat and tidy, exuding a strong charm of Jiangnan.

"The phrase 'green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver' was written on the sign at the entrance of the village. Nowadays, the village has transformed land resources into various ecological products, and villagers' lives have become increasingly prosperous!" Wang Hao, Secretary of the Party Committee of Zhuxin Town, said at the "Innovative Ecological Advantage Value Implementation Path" seminar held in Chongming District on June 9th.

To transform "good ecology" into "new economy", it is necessary to identify the "transformation point". The "transformation point" of Xincun Township in Chongming District is rice. "The people of Xincun have taken the 'rice industry' to the extreme. We not only have contiguous rice fields and high-quality rice, but also cultural brands and even tourist attractions with rice as the theme." said Wang Huijian, Secretary of the Xincun Township Party Committee. At present, Xincun Township is fully tapping into ecological elements such as rice paddies, rivers, forests, and ecological corridors within the region. With product research and development, processing and packaging, and brand marketing as breakthroughs, the ecological value is reflected in the price of ecological products, achieving a "good ecological sales value".

The transformation point for building a town is homestays. Huang Hui, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Jianshe Town, said that Jianshe Town has been developing rural tourism since 2006. Currently, the total number of homestays in the town has reached 265, accounting for about a quarter of the total area. "The 10th China Flower Expo has shown more people the beauty of Chongming and the beauty of construction. The homestay economy is flourishing, and we are also relying on tourism resources such as Dongping National Forest Park to vigorously develop the medical and nursing economy, research and learning economy, rehabilitation economy, etc. We strive to build high-quality homestays to allow more tourists to stay overnight, turn 'first time guests' into' returning guests', and turn 'passersby' into 'overnight guests'."

The "conversion point" found in the Lvhua Town at the western end of Chongming Island is Qingshui Crab. In the lush Baodao Crab Village, Qingshui crabs can take advantage of the "complementary fishing and lighting" project to live in "photovoltaic villas" and even in "forest resorts" in the scorching summer. More than 140 acres of trees, including over 8000 Chinese fir trees, are planted in the crab pond, which can effectively regulate water temperature, adsorb sediment at the bottom of the water, and avoid eutrophication of the water body, allowing Qingshui crabs to grow in a more comfortable environment.

"We have transformed the traditional fish and crab mixed farming in Chongming into four types of farming models: ecological specialization, internal circulation live water crab farming, understory farming, and photovoltaic crab farming. For example, the internal circulation live water crab farming method has increased the yield of fresh water crabs from about 40 kilograms to about 90 kilograms per mu. We have also developed various deep processed products of fresh water crabs, such as crab powder, crab butter, dried scallops, and crab meat, to create a 'crab lodging' cluster with crab culture as the theme. Nowadays, green crabs have become a golden signboard of the tourism economy, and we will further strengthen this cultural and tourism IP." said Yang Lihua, Secretary of the Party Committee of Lvhua Town.

Zeng Jun, Vice President of the Party School of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, believes that Chongming is facing great development opportunities. The new model of ecotourism, branding of rural industries, and development of characteristic homestays are becoming key words for Chongming District's "innovative ways to realize ecological advantage values.". "I hope that Chongming District will continue to focus on 'ecology' and do a good job in development, further highlighting the spillover effects of good ecology."
