The Yixian county has been pushing forward its development by upgrading tourism. Due to the opportunity brought by the 2016 Hebei Tourism Industry Development Conference, the county is transforming the famous scenic spot, Yishui Lake, into a large holiday complex – combining culture, leisure, vacation, health care and sports. It also has the Taihang Water Town, which is free of admission, and presents over 150 kinds of local food and traditional folk arts to visitors.
