As the village gradually got on track and shone brightly in many aspects such as education, culture, healthcare, and healthy living, Lin Yue's gaze once again turned to the distance, and she began to think about how to open up new business paths for the village to achieve diversified economic development and sustainable prosperity. On this land she deeply loved, every inch of resources was like a pearl waiting to be polished, and rural tourism, a field that perfectly blends natural scenery and cultural heritage, was like a ray of dawn, illuminating a new direction for the village's commercial expansion.
The morning sun cast golden ripples across the village fields, a gentle breeze rustling through the wheat, whispering ancient and mysterious tales of the village. Lin Yue strolled alone through these familiar fields, her eyes gleaming with excitement and anticipation, her mind racing with ideas for rural tourism. In the distance, rolling green hills formed a natural barrier, protecting the village's tranquility and peace; swirling mists, like soft veils, added a touch of poetry and mystery to the land. The village's houses, nestled in a picturesque arrangement, the wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys, and the occasional sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking, all combined to create a idyllic scene. All of this is the village's unique charm and its precious asset, attracting tourists.
Lin Yue knew that to succeed in rural tourism, she had to fully explore the village's unique resources and develop them rationally. So, she began in-depth research. She wandered through the village's streets and alleys, chatting warmly with every villager, listening to their ancient legends, traditions, and family stories. In the home of an elderly man, well past seventy, Lin Yue sat quietly beside him, listening to him reminisce about the village's past. The old man's eyes shone brightly as he slowly said, "Young lady, this ancient well in our village is very old. It's said that our ancestors dug it themselves. The well water is sweet and delicious, nourishing generations of villagers. And every Lunar New Year, the village holds a grand sacrificial ceremony by the well, praying for favorable weather and a bountiful harvest in the coming year. This is our village's tradition; we can't lose it." Lin Yue carefully recorded every word the old man said. She knew that these traditions and historical relics were the soul of rural tourism, capable of providing tourists with unique experiences and profound feelings.
Beyond its cultural resources, the village boasts exceptional natural scenery. A crystal-clear stream meanders through the village, its banks lined with weeping willows swaying gently in the breeze. In the dense forest, various rare plants and animals thrive, birds sing in the branches, and squirrels leap among the trees—a beautiful symphony played by nature itself. Lin Yue strolled along the stream, feeling the coolness and fluidity of the water, and a sense of awe for nature welled up within her. She realized that these natural landscapes could be developed into hiking trails and ecotourism sites, allowing visitors to experience the charm of nature firsthand.
Based on thorough research, Lin Yue began discussing rural tourism planning with the village leaders. The atmosphere in the meeting room was lively yet tense, with everyone sharing their opinions and brainstorming ideas for the village's future development. Standing before a village map, pen in hand, Lin Yue elaborated on her planning: "We can divide the village into several different tourism areas. First, we can create a cultural experience area around the ancient well, restoring the surrounding environment and building a small folk museum to showcase the village's historical artifacts and traditional handicrafts. Simultaneously, during the annual Lunar New Year, we can hold a grand folk culture festival, allowing tourists to participate in sacrificial activities, traditional handicraft making, and folk performances. Second, we can develop an eco-tourism route along the stream and forest, setting up viewing platforms and rest pavilions to facilitate tourists' enjoyment of natural scenery. We can also conduct eco-experience activities such as stream fishing and forest exploration, allowing tourists to get close to nature. Furthermore, we can utilize the village's existing farmland resources to develop agritourism projects, allowing tourists to taste authentic farm cuisine and experience the joys of agricultural life."
The village leaders nodded in agreement, but also raised some concerns. One leader frowned and said, "Lin Yue, this idea is good, but developing tourism projects requires a lot of capital investment. Can our village's finances handle it? Moreover, the construction and maintenance of tourism facilities also require professional personnel. Where will we find these people?" Lin Yue pondered for a moment, then firmly replied, "Regarding funding, we can strive for government tourism support funds on the one hand, and attract external investment on the other, such as cooperating with some tourism enterprises to jointly develop tourism projects. As for the personnel issue, we can invite professional tourism planners and designers to provide us with guidance. At the same time, we can train some young people in the village to become the backbone of tourism services and management."
After resolving the issues of funding and personnel, the rural tourism project was officially launched. Lin Yue and the villagers worked together diligently on the construction. At the construction site of the cultural experience area, villagers spontaneously participated in the restoration of the ancient well. A young man rolled up his sleeves, picked up tools, and said with great enthusiasm, "This ancient well is our village's treasure. We must restore it well so that more people can learn about our village's history." With everyone's joint efforts, the surrounding environment of the ancient well was completely transformed, and the folk museum was gradually built. The museum displays a variety of historical artifacts and traditional handicrafts, such as ancient farming tools, exquisite embroidery, and simple pottery. Each exhibit seems to tell the story of the village's past.
