Border areas in Guangxi reap benefits from tourism

Banduan village in Longzhou county, which is three kilometers away from China-Vietnam border, serves as another example of how local life has been changed by tourism.
Just three years ago, Banduan, like other border villages, relied heavily on sugarcane and the annual income per-capita was less than 2,000 yuan. The village has a vast natural limestone cave, named Paoma, but no one realized its value at that time.
Things began to change in 2016. After visiting other places that had benefited from tourism, the then director of the village committee encouraged the villagers to take advantage of the limestone cave to develop tourism.
