Investor from Taiwan promotes rural tourism in Fujian
She and her team began to work on Xiadai, improving the appearance of the village, rehabilitating farmland and transforming abandoned mines.
"We first cleaned the entire village and renovated some dilapidated houses," she said. "Then we opened up wasteland, built roads on the mountains and planned and built a wooden plank path and footpath from which to view the whole landscape. The village took on an altogether new aspect in less than a year."
From Monday to Thursday, families with autistic children and elderly members with dementia are invited to come for free agricultural therapy. Tourists come to camp, barbecue and participate in leisure activities from Friday to Sunday, she said.
"We have also brought soul music therapy here from Taiwan, so that tourists can release their stress with a week in the village," Wang said.
In the coming months, she added, Taiwan's characteristic agricultural products will be introduced to local farms, along with homestays, mountain book bars, mine concerts and art centers. Taiwan's service and management concepts will be adopted at the scenic spot to help create a quiet, safe and secure ecological leisure and health resort, Wang said.
