From Abandoned to Thriving: How Yucun Became a Magnet for Millennial Innovators
Nestled in Anji County, Zhejiang Province, Yucun Village is rewriting the rural playbook. Once a quiet farming community, it’s now buzzing with co-working spaces, eco-startups, and art studios—all thanks to its Global Partners Program launched in 2022. 🌍✨
Over 1,100 young professionals from 15+ countries have flocked here, launching 42 projects ranging from AI-driven agriculture to bamboo-themed fashion lines. 'It’s like a real-life 'Stardew Valley'—but with better Wi-Fi,' laughs Li Wei, a 28-year-old digital nomad from Shanghai who now runs a viral eco-tourism blog from her village cottage. 🎮📶
