Song Qixuan, owner of A Er Di, said it is very important to respect rules of nature and use natural cultivation methods to plant fruits and vegetables, as it is not only important for this generation but also future generations.

"I plan to start a 'small hands in big hands activity' and provide more opportunities for children to learn natural scientific knowledge and experience agricultural life in our leisure agriculture base."

To satisfy tourists' diverse needs, some farmers transformed their houses into family inns for visitors to stay. Local villager Zhang Shaohua used to sell baby products in Guizhou, but was attracted to going back home because of the emerging opportunities brought by Se-enriched agriculture and the tourism industry.
