In recent years, Guangde City in Anhui Province has accelerated the integration of transportation and tourism development by using roads as a medium, creating the "Bamboo Hometown Gallery" scenic route that spans across the entire region. By combining this with the construction of beautiful rural areas and industrial layout along the route, a rural revitalization demonstration belt has been formed. This belt integrates regional connectivity, green ecology, cultural tourism, and industrial development, achieving the wonderful vision of "building a road, stringing together scenic spots, boosting local industries, and enriching the people in the region."

In the beautiful springtime of March, as the weather becomes increasingly pleasant, more and more people are venturing out for springtime excursions. On March 8th, outside Maotian Village in Baidian Town, Guangde City, the flowers were blooming and the bamboo was lush, attracting groups of tourists.

At noon, along the wide and flat asphalt road, cars drove into the Maotian Mountain Farmstead at the foot of the mountain. The farmstead owners, Mr. Du Qing and his wife, began to get busy.

"Today we have about a hundred visitors, and on weekends it's even more, up to two or three hundred," Du Qing said with a smile. His farmstead is a "popular spot" within the area, with a restaurant in the front and a guesthouse in the back, capable of serving ten to twenty tables of guests at the same time. In the past two years, with the improvement of transportation conditions in the mountainous area, the business of the farmstead has been booming day by day.

With smooth roads and bustling popularity, industries are also thriving. Today, the "Bamboo Hometown Gallery" scenic route is not only a beautiful pathway but has also become a corridor of value where homestay and other cultural and tourism industries cluster. More and more investors from Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are investing and settling in, accelerating the pace of local rural development.
