Moroccan traveler Achraf Chouri recently joined local guide Chen Yulin on a journey through Maoyang township in Ningbo's Xiangshan county, uncovering the essence of rural vitalization and cultural richness.

The journey began at Pushe, a homestay where the Song Dynasty (960-1279)-inspired wooden architecture reflects a seamless blend of history and modern comfort. At Xiangshanli Orchard, they picked ripe dragon fruits and enjoyed delightful moments with animals at the petting zoo.

Modern agriculture took center stage with drones monitoring crop growth, showcasing cutting-edge techniques. At tidal flats, they dug for clams and caught crabs, reconnecting with nature's wonders. The freshly harvested seafood became a feast of coastal flavors, simple yet unforgettable.

At a repurposed grain warehouse, bamboo carving master Wang Qun demonstrated his artistry, celebrating the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary creativity. Surrounded by stunning landscapes and rich culture, Maoyang offers a true escape into harmony and inspiration.
