Attracted by the geological park, tourists have poured in and Meishe villagers have built guesthouses and restaurants. During the National Day holiday, there were more than 6,000 visitors to Meishe.
Inspired by the popular online game Happy Farm, a resort was built. It has holiday cottages, restaurants and bars and organic fruit and vegetables fields.
These improvements have in turn made villagers realize the importance of environmental protection.
"We pick up garbage and livestock droppings and cut trees according to quotas. The village is like a garden now," says Wang Jianping, who grows huanghuali trees in his courtyard.
"We keep the big water vats and though we don’t use them any more they do make a good story for the tourists."
