Pastoral Complex helps to defeat poverty in Linyi

Old farmhouses are transformed into cafes.

Five villages in the complex used to be listed as provincial-level poor villages, incorporating 2,043 households, all of which have now been elevated from poverty.

Yinan County has invested approximately 600 million yuan ($91 million) in tourism infrastructure construction and environmental remediation, building and upgrading over 40 highways, establishing bus routes to tourist destinations across the county, and restoring 18 rivers.

Changshanzhuang, another mountainous village in Yinan county, has been transformed into a national 4A scenic spot, with a film production site having produced more than 300 films and TV series so far.

The village also established several museums and memorial halls centered on the history of the Communist Party of China, as well as a landscape sketch site able to accommodate 900 university students.

More than 2,000 people from surrounding villages have been working in Changshanzhuang and its tourist sites. In 2019, the village's average per capita disposable income exceeded 15,000 yuan.
