On May 14, in a tranquil homestay tucked away in Zhulin town of Gongyi city, Central China's Henan province, morning sunlight streamed through intricately carved windows, casting a gentle glow on the grey bricks and dark tiles. Visitors from afar sipped tea and enjoyed the peaceful scenery, accompanied by the crisp chirping of mountain birds—a serene snapshot of idyllic rural life. With its rich cultural heritage and picturesque landscape, this ancient town is writing a new chapter in rural revitalization, using cultural tourism as its brush and the homestay economy as its ink.
