International guests aren't just reading about Huzhou—they're living it! After the Best Tourism Villages 2025 awards, UN reps hit the road to Digang Village and Anji County in Zhejiang Province, the Chinese mainland, to uncover what makes these spots so special.
Here's the lowdown on their adventure:
- Digang Village's Agritech Vibes: From vibrant rice paddies to smart irrigation setups, visitors saw how local farmers blend tradition with tech. Imagine drones mapping fields while elders share tea stories under ancient banyan trees. 🌾💡
- Anji County's Bamboo Wonderland: Known as the 'Bamboo Kingdom,' Anji let guests wander through towering green forests and savor bamboo shoots in farm-to-table cafes. It's nature-meets-design, perfect for your next Insta-worthy shot—just like Bali's rice terraces or Thailand's jungle escapes! 🎋📸
Why it matters: These villages prove rural tourism can be innovative and sustainable. By highlighting eco-farming in Digang and bamboo architecture in Anji, they're crafting blueprints that regions across South and Southeast Asia can adapt—think community homestays in Kerala or bamboo lodges in Laos.
What's next? The UN plans to share these best practices worldwide, inspiring young travel enthusiasts and local entrepreneurs to rethink rural getaways. You might see Digang-inspired smart farms or Anji-style bamboo retreats popping up near you soon! 😉🌏
