QIANXI, July 26, 2021 (Xinhua) -- Huawu Village in Qianxi City of southwest China's Guizhou Province, although boasting unique ethnic Miao culture and splendid mountain views with vast water bodies, once had a poverty headcount ratio as high as 63.6 percent.
Taking advantage of the rich cultural and natural heritage, the local government initiated a scenic area project as a targeted measure to shake off poverty to boost tourism by constructing a "miles-long gallery".
The village that once had no roads, tap water and electricity supply and was isolated from the outside world is now bustling with tourists.
