A village where success is on the menu

A rural community serves up authentic attractions as visitors flock to experience country life, Yang Feiyue reports.

As spring comes, villagers from Zhuangzimao, a rural idyll tucked away in the depth of the mountains of Northwest China's Gansu province, have been raring to get prepared for upcoming visitors.

The tofu workshops across the village have been steaming with heat, while the fried pancake stalls fill the air with a tantalizing aroma.

Meanwhile, some farmlands have been under renovation for urban students to engage in hands-on learning, while the greenhouse melons are being planted and the farmhouses are opening for business.
