Five village clusters, including Caojiazhai and Duimen, in Yantang village are relatively remote, with a population of nearly 1,000 people in total. Since traffic can get quite busy when parents go to pick up their children from school, the lack of road lighting poses a safety hazard.
To solve this issue, Yantang village has allocated more than 270,000 yuan ($37,269.94) to purchase solar road lights.

"The installed road lamps light up the village at night, allowing people to return home safely," said Ran Taizhi, secretary of the general Party branch of Yantang village in Zhaiji Township.
Moving forward, Zhaiji township will continue to focusing on people's livelihoods by promoting its economic development and increasing people's incomes.
