China's booming rural tourism benefits villagers, helping to lift them out of poverty, as China pushes ahead with its rural revitalization strategy, which was proposed in 2017.
The strategy set the overall goal of building rural areas with thriving businesses, pleasant living environments, social etiquette, effective governance and prosperity.
The rural tourism industry promotes the development of the real economy, and also boosts consumption, investment and employment. Here are some of the pictures documenting China's rural tourism economy.
