He was very happy to see the widening tourist highway in front of him. "The road is wider, and there are more tourists. In the future, I plan to expand my homestay business in the village, so that tourists can experience the authentic farmhouse that integrates food and accommodation."
Tourism enriches the people and promotes the village even more. "There are not only , Huangyadong, scenic spots around it, but also hot springs. In the past, villagers who could not go out to work would sell jelly and swimsuits on the roadside. With the east wind of tourism development, everyone's life is booming."
