Cultural tourism blooms in Greater Huangshan Region

The village considers itself to be engaged in a virtuous cycle. "The development of cultural tourism requires us to improve the rural environment, including sanitary conditions and infrastructure," said Jiang Feng, the village head. "So it also betters our villagers' lives in the meantime."

Huangshan district, Huangshan, is another top place to go. It is situated at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, but the tip of the mountain can be seen behind creamy clouds in the district's sunrise boulevards.

The district is close to almost every famous scenic spot in the region: Huangshan Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain and Taiping Lake. Tourists can have a natural expedition in the daytime but still enjoy a walk illuminated by neon lights in commercial strips.

The district is surrounded by counties and towns worth exploring. Tangjiazhuang village, in the tributary of Taiping Lake, is a wonderland for water sports lovers.

The limpid water mirrors the glassy sky and aquamarine hills, sheltering the village in pure tranquility beside the splash of paddleboards. The water suits both starters and pros. Tourists can check in at the village's exquisitely designed hotel and coffee house for a local air of rural vitalization.
