Harnessing its tourism resource, the village committee initiated a collective cooperative, aiding small businesses like pancake shops and rural homestays. Local residents delight in increased incomes and rising tourist acclaim. 

Looking ahead, the village plans to sustain this momentum by exploiting natural resources, expanding its red tourism appeal, and solidifying its role as a red education base, contributing to the broader canvas of rural revitalization. (Edited by Hu Haoshu)
