Longwangba Village has built a Rural Revitalization Science Museum, a Rural Farming Science and Technology Exhibition Hall and a rural science corridor. The Rural Revitalization Science Museum covers an area of 200 square meters, which is dominated by 19 townships and 296 administrative villages in Xiji County. It is the first rural science and technology museum in China that combines targeted poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.

The Rural Farming Science and Technology Exhibition Hall covers an area of 600 square meters, which combines traditional farming civilization with modern technology, and integrates technological elements such as drone spraying pesticides, remote agricultural epidemic monitoring, online agricultural expert clinics, and and agricultural internet of things.

The rural popular science corridor adopts a combination of popular science and rural cultural and rural science tourism signs to place agricultural solar terms and plant names in conspicuous places. Visitors can learn about agricultural science knowledge while walking through.

“We also need to create a convenient rural medical service, a rural technology talent creation hall and a potato science and technology museum,” Zhang said. “It is expected that the village will receive more than 1 million visitors by 2025 after the completion of the Longwangba Science Town.”
