Up to now, more than 80 percent of the locals in Enhe are involved in the homestay business, with over 100 hotels in operation. "My family's income witnessed a significant increase in recent years, earning 400,000 to 500,000 yuan annually. Small hotel managers can also earn about 100,000 yuan on average," said Qu Bo.

Although the COVID-19 outbreak has dealt a blow to Enhe's tourism industry, Qu Bo sought to sell local produce, such as Russian black breads and blueberry jam via e-commerce platforms. As the epidemic comes under controlled and national economy rebounds, he still has a positive outlook for business in the following year.
