In recent years, Luxi Village has been continuously optimizing the management of the tea gardens and exploring the integration of tea cultivation with tourism. Around the tea gardens, supporting facilities such as walking trails and tea rooms have been constructed while other cultural and tourism products are still being enriched. By now, Luxi Village has built itself into a scenic area where tourists can stroll through the tea gardens to take photos or relax together in the village cafes to enjoy coffee and tea. Not far from the tea gardens stands many modern-style guesthouses, attracting tourists to explore and experience.
In 2025, Luxi Village received around 45,000 tourists, generating 1.45 million yuan (about 210,000 U.S. dollars) in tourism revenue. (Xinhua/Zhou Mu)
