What happens when delegates from nine Pacific Island countries step into China’s countryside? A masterclass in rural innovation! 🌱 This week, representatives toured model rural revitalization zones in Dong’e County, Shandong Province, to unpack China’s strategies for boosting livelihoods and slashing poverty.
From shared farms doubling as cozy homestays 🏡 to e-commerce chains turning humble mugwort into profit, the delegates saw firsthand how tech and tradition collide. One standout? A thriving mugwort cultivation project that’s gone viral online, proving rural economies can thrive in the digital age. 💻🌿
“These models show how communities can harness local resources sustainably,” shared one delegate, inspired by the blend of eco-friendly practices and smart business tactics. The visit highlights growing global interest in China’s rural transformation playbook—and its potential to inspire similar efforts worldwide. 🌏🤝
