Zhouli village was relocated to its present site to make way for a water conservation project in the Yellow River in 1995. Since then, the per capita annual income of local farmers rose from 680 yuan (US$ 100) to its current 4,950 yuan now, and farmers now have access to running water, cable TV as well as other public services.

Hu said the government  would  continue providing favorable policies to farmers so they might lead better lives.

At the end of his visit,  Hu urged continuing efforts to transform the economic growth pattern, adjust the economic structure, increase the amount of indigenous innovation, continue to promote energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection as well as reform and opening up.
