Gejia village, located in Dajiahe town, Ninghai county, is known for its vast expanse of sweet-scented osmanthus, covering an area of 800 mu (53.33 hectares) in total. 

Local villagers were encouraged to transform village through art. Almost all the village's decorations were made by residents themselves, including flower pots, benches, lamps, and pavilions. The village has since emerged as a popular rural tourism destination.
