The government has introduced eight companies into Ameiqituo. The companies started skill training for local people and organized recruitment locally, providing choices for the residents.

The tourism industry was also cultivated with the help of the government.

In the past four years, 10,090 villages were relocated, according to the provincial government, and that is just the first step.

Xu, the deputy head, said 2.5 billion yuan was invested in restoring and building new kindergartens and primary and middle schools, as well as setting up healthcare centers and residential care center for the aged.

"This huge project will change the entire lives of people who have spent their years in remote villages. The fate of their offspring was also changed," Xu said.

Up to 95.2 percent of the migrants were relocated to cities and towns, which has raised the urbanization rate of Guizhou by 5 percentage points. That population will create consumption demand in cities and towns, which will boost the local economy.

At the same time, the areas where they used to live will be reforested, which is beneficial for the natural environment, she said.
