Qionghai's rural revitalization bolstered by cultural tourism

In recent years, Hainan province has made efforts to promote the creation of beautiful villages. Under such a development opportunity, Qionghai has developed its cultural tourism industry to boost rural revitalization, with Liuke village being one of the province's beautiful villages.

Liuke village has a history of more than 500 years. It is located in Qionghai, a well-known hometown of overseas Chinese, and is considered one of the 10 most beautiful villages in China. It is close to the Wanquan River and is the permanent venue of the Boao Forum for Asia.

The village boasts a beautiful natural environment and famous historical relics like Caijiazhai (Cai's house), a national key cultural relic protection unit, and Lujiazhai (Lu's house), a provincial cultural relic in Hainan.

According to Liu Fugui, general manager of a local cultural tourism development company, Liuke village began to build itself into a beautiful village in 2019. The company has made use of traditional village's cultural resources to create tourism brands like "the beautiful Wanquan River" and "the first village of the hometown of overseas Chinese."

Liu added that he was highly optimistic about the future development of Liuke village. He said that the village would continue to promote the development of its cultural tourism industry in the future and provide more income-generating opportunities for villagers.
