The operation of ecotourism projects varies significantly between peak and off-peak seasons. During peak season, the village is bustling with tourists. On hiking trails, groups of visitors, led by guides, admire the beautiful mountain scenery, breathe in the fresh air, and frequently exclaim in amazement. In the folk culture experience village, tourists sit together watching folk artists create exquisite handicrafts such as paper cutting and wood carving, and even try their hand at it. Children happily learn folk songs and dances, swaying their bodies to the rhythm. In the off-peak season, the number of tourists decreases significantly, but the village does not slack off in its operations. Tourism staff use this time for training and improvement, and to maintain and repair tourism facilities. For example, they check the signage along hiking trails to ensure it is intact and repair the performance stage in the folk culture experience village. At the same time, they also launch some off-peak season promotional activities to attract tourists from surrounding areas.

Faced with various difficulties and challenges, the villagers demonstrated unwavering resilience and a spirit of unity and mutual assistance. When organic agricultural products encountered market price fluctuations, the villagers did not lose heart. They discussed countermeasures together, established an agricultural cooperative, and divided the work among themselves. Some were responsible for negotiating cooperation with supermarkets and e-commerce platforms, some for packaging design, and others for logistics and transportation. Throughout this process, the villagers trusted and supported each other, overcoming one difficulty after another. For example, when negotiating cooperation with a large supermarket, the supermarket imposed strict product quality standards and packaging requirements. The villagers did not back down; under the guidance of experts, they strictly adhered to the standards in production and packaging, ultimately successfully reaching a cooperation agreement with the supermarket and opening up broader sales channels for their organic agricultural products.

The evaluation mechanism plays a crucial role in every stage. In ecological agriculture, each evaluation involves detailed testing and analysis of indicators such as soil quality, crop yield and quality, and the amount of pesticides and fertilizers used. If a decline in soil quality or an increase in crop pests and diseases is found, agricultural techniques are adjusted promptly, such as increasing the application of organic fertilizers or introducing new biological control technologies. In ecotourism, indicators such as tourist satisfaction, tourism revenue, and the integrity of tourism facilities are evaluated. Based on the evaluation results, if tourist satisfaction is low, the reasons are analyzed in depth, which may be due to poor attitude of tourism service personnel or lack of attractiveness of tourism products, and then targeted improvements are made. For example, one evaluation found that tourists were not very satisfied with the handicraft making experience program in the folk culture experience village because the handicrafts were too difficult for tourists to complete in a short time. As a result, the village adjusted the handicraft making program, providing some simple and easy-to-learn handicraft options, and tourist satisfaction improved significantly.

Over time, the village has steadily developed according to its long-term plan, resulting in significant improvements to its ecological environment. Forest coverage has increased from the initial 40% to over 60%, and the river's water quality has reached the national Class II standard, becoming crystal clear and teeming with fish and shrimp. The village's economy has also diversified, with organic agriculture and ecotourism becoming its two pillar industries, and villagers' per capita income has increased year by year. Statistics show that in the fifth year of the plan's implementation, villagers' per capita income increased by approximately 80% compared to the initial planning stage, and the village's overall appearance has been completely transformed.

With the ten-year planning period drawing to a close, the evaluation team conducted a comprehensive summary and assessment of the entire plan's implementation. The results showed that the village had achieved remarkable results in ecological protection, economic development, and cultural preservation, with most planning goals met or exceeded. Standing on the village's viewing platform, Lin Yue gazed at this beautiful and fertile land, her heart filled with emotion. She knew that the long-term planning and evaluation mechanism had safeguarded the village's ecological development, allowing it to take solid steps on the path of sustainable development. But the future held a long road ahead, requiring the continued development of new plans to adapt to new circumstances and challenges.
