Yucun combines eco-agriculture with tourism, transforms abandoned mines and cement plants into tourist areas, superposes bamboo, white tea and tourism to create characteristic agricultural products, and turns farms into characteristic farmhouses and homestays. As the first village selected as the “Best Tourism Village” by the United Nations World Tourism Organization, it received 700,000 tourists in 2022.

Yucun founded China’s first “zero-carbon village”. The trendy building “Yucun Impression” transformed from a chemical plant was completed. Being a veritable zero-carbon building, it relies on renewable energy photovoltaic power generation system for carbon offset.
