Unveiling Tugua Chong’s Hidden Gems: A Journey in the Footsteps of Xu Xiake
Cloud News Observation: Tugua Chong Village, a Rural Tourism Demonstration Site
Tugua Chong Village: A Rural Tourism Demonstration Site in Yunnan Province
Tugua Chong Village, located in Yangguantian Community, Tongquan Street, Malong District, Qujing City, has become a popular tourist destination in Yunnan Province.
Recently, Provincial Party Secretary Wang Ning visited Tugua Chong Village and praised the village’s development model. He hoped that the province would make good use of the rich rural resources, implant advanced concepts and models, take into account the interests of the people, collectives, and enterprises, and continuously promote and replicate more tourist villages.
How Tugua Chong Village Became a Rural Tourism Demonstration Site
The village was once a “hollow village” with a lack of young and capable people. However, with a change of thinking, the village has transformed into a rural living demonstration site in Qujing City and even Yunnan Province.
Today, Cloud News dissects the grassroots sparrow of Toguachong Village from three levels, hoping to bring some inspiration and thinking.
1. Find the Right Position
Before talking about Tuguachong, let’s talk about Malong District. In March 2018, Malong was abolished as a county and established as a district, which was incorporated into the urban area of Qujing City.
Tuguachong Village is located in the Boke Cuiping area, far away from the city and embracing the countryside, just like a paradise beside the ”Quma Avenue”.
2. Seize the Opportunity
Raise your vision from Tugua Chong Village, across the Bo Ke Cui Ping that “stands halfway in the sky”, and look at the entire province and even the whole country.
The country has implemented the rural revitalization strategy, which is an inevitable choice for building a beautiful China and achieving common prosperity for all people.
3. Keep the People’s Hearts
The village renovation was not excessive. Through ”light intervention, micro renovation, and fine improvement”, the local government transformed 77 old and idle houses into rural homestays, cafes, restaurants, etc.
The interests of the three parties are taken into account. Tugua Chong Village adopts a rural development model that is government-led, collectively coordinated, enterprise-operated, and villager-participated.

A Poetic Rural Life
The meals made with original ecological ingredients and authentic craftsmanship have the taste of home. The daily life of villagers giving a bundle of green onions today and a handful of vegetables tomorrow is full of human touch…

Xu Xiake’s Revisit to Malan
If Xu Xiake were to revisit Malan today and come across Tugua Chong Village, he would surely be willing to stop and be a “traveler”.
