County in Linyi develops tourism across the region

The Zhujialin area in East China's Shandong province has been transformed into a countryside tourist complex. 

An iconic example is the Zhujialin Countryside Complex, an area covering 2,870 hectares, incorporating 23 villages and 16,000 residents. Though in the form of a holiday resort, the complex is open to the public and free of charge.

The old buildings have been renovated into bed-and-breakfasts, cafes and small cinemas, yet retain their historic, rustic ambiance. The museums and galleries display regional handicrafts, including paper-cutting, embroidery and rattan works, and fresh farm produce and related creative products are available for purchase.
