County is a hub, connected to the city at one end and the countryside at the other. It is a key link in building a new urban-rural relationship, promoting the organic combination of new urbanization and comprehensive rural revitalization. Wan Lingxiao, an assistant researcher at the Chongqing Academy of Social Sciences, stated that to accelerate the promotion of new urbanization based on county towns, counties should be regarded as an important pivot for urban-rural integration development, and efforts should be made from multiple aspects such as industrial development, public services, and institutional mechanisms to enhance the industrial carrying capacity and population agglomeration capacity of county towns. Whether a county is strong or not depends on the industry. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with the Ministry of Finance, will implement the agricultural industry integration development project to support the construction of 96 advantageous characteristic industrial clusters in the western region, including Shaanxi Shaanxi tea, Chongqing lemon, and Guizhou traditional Chinese medicine. Assistant researcher Tan Runqing from the Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences said that combining regional resource advantages to create strong county characteristic industries in various regions not only provides strong support for county-level economic development, but also promotes nearby employment and income growth for farmers, becoming a prosperous industry for the people. Nowadays, in the western region, more and more county-level characteristic industries are benefiting the local people: the Baiyi Yinong International Flower Port in Linxia City, Gansu Province, has a daily output of 180000 fresh flowers going abroad, driving local employment; The grilled fish culture in Wuxi County, Chongqing has made local grilled fish shops even more prosperous; Liuba County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province, with a total population of only over 40000, has welcomed a tourism boom. Local residents have relied on homestays and farmhouses to enjoy "tourism meals"... However, it should also be noted that as of the end of last year, the urbanization rate of China's permanent residents was 66.16%, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the overall urbanization rate. The potential for urbanization construction in the central and western regions is enormous. "We should focus on making the entry into the city smooth, making the life in the countryside comfortable, and organically combining the promotion of new urbanization and comprehensive rural revitalization. We should design and promote various elements to flow in both directions, forming a new pattern of urban-rural integrated development." said Zhu Weidong, Deputy Director of the Central Finance Office and Deputy Director of the Central Agriculture Office. Looking across the country, from industrial revitalization to the development of characteristic cultural and tourism, the practice of cooperation between the East and the West is unfolding: Zheng'an County, Guizhou Province, borrowing
