Updated: 2014-04-16

Zhuangli New village in Huangshan District, Huangshan, Anhui province has recently received a large amount of tourists from Shanghai, Tianjin, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places. In the day time, visitors roamed around the fields of canola flowers and their surrounding area. They also had a chance to taste local dishes. In the evening, they enjoyed performances in the village and stayed in small farm houses.

In Sankou and its surrounding villages, the golden canola flower vista attracted a large number of tourists who came to take photographs. In Tangkou village, visitors not only visited the nearby Emerald Valley, Jiulong Waterfall and other scenic spots, but also experienced "digging bamboo shoots", "picking herbs" and other agricultural activities. The beautiful landscape in Taiping Lake scenic spot attracted couples to visit for having their wedding photos taken. Clearly, more and more visitors fully enjoyed roaming around the countryside for fun.

Since spring arrived, Huangshan Tourism Bureau has continued to integrate regional tourism resources to market its tourism products. It launched an "outing flowers tour", "country experience tour", and other tourism products. Meanwhile, scenic spots launched their "farming experience" "herb picking", "campfire picnic" and other special events.
