In the8th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it emphasized on promoting integration system of urban and rural development in new period, supporting construction of cities and towns to form a new workers and peasants relationship and urban-rural relationship of accelerating agriculture by industry, driving countryside by city, workers and peasants mutual benefit and the integration of city and country to let farmers share the achievements of urbanization. The urbanization in China plays a more and more important role in the development of well-off society. Fujian Province, as a vital centre of economic development in the southeast coastal area, the level of the development of small towns is related to the solution to "issues of agriculture, farmer and rural area", and is also a major subject of economic and social development in Fujian. Since the reform and opening up, in order to promote China’s economic and social development, our country issued a series of policies, such as "city supporting the countryside","industry re-feeding agriculture", as well as exempting agricultural tax nationwide, which to a certain extent, promote the development of small towns in Fujian Province, efficiently transfer part of the surplus rural labor force and promote the healthy development of township enterprises. The construction of small towns in Fujian province has entered a new historical stage. However, in the development of small towns in Fujian Province, there still exist some problems, such as the small scale of townships, low density of small towns, single financing channel of developing small towns, low fiscal revenue, low non-agriculturization level, unobvious specialty industry, weak economic strength of township enterprises and small scale and scattered township enterprises and in the early planning of small towns, lacking scientific management mechanism and mode of economic development, etc. If all these problems can not be resolved promptly and effectively, it will have negative influence on the long-term development of small towns in Fujian province.This paper mainly takes Qingkou Town of Minhou of Fujian Province as an example and discusses its development to provide reference for the development of small towns in Fujian province.
