Tulips have come into blossom recently in Shuangjiang Resort in Hechi city's Yizhou district, attracting scores of tourists looking for a chance to take in the radiant colors and natural beauty.

The local government has been making efforts to develop rural tourism in recent years, which has not only improved the overall aesthetic quality of rural areas but has also helped to alleviate poverty by providing money and jobs to local villagers.
