The prosperity of industries drives rural revitalization, and some places have also explored a path of rural revitalization through the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, using characteristic industries as a medium. In Kunyu Mountain in Wendeng District, Weihai, Shandong, it is the season for picking big cherries. Many tourists come here to "check in" along the recently opened Qianli Shanhai self driving road in Weihai, and the villagers' ecological picking tour is also bustling.
Xu Haidong, a villager from wutong An Village, Jieshi Town, Wendeng District, Weihai City, Shandong Province, said that the number of people picking cherries this year is twice that of last year. At its peak, over 100 people come to pick cherries in a day, and the profits are increasing year by year, increasing by 20%.
Using Big Cherry as a medium, Wendeng became popular for "one-day tours" and "road trips", and they began to think about the path of creating "deep tours". This year, Wendeng District has launched diversified tourism routes such as red study tours and camping tours. The idle farmhouses in the village have transformed into unique boutique homestays, and a new leisure and lifestyle travel model is slowly taking shape here.
