As the birthplace for “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets”, Yucun pursues sustainable development featuring ecological beauty, industrial prosperity and richness over the ten years, being a valuable sample for construction of China’s ecological civilization.
Landscape of Yucun
Yucun combines eco-agriculture with tourism, transforms abandoned mines and cement plants into tourist areas, superposes bamboo, white tea and tourism to create characteristic agricultural products, and turns farms into characteristic farmhouses and homestays. As the first village selected as the “Best Tourism Village” by the United Nations World Tourism Organization, it received 700,000 tourists in 2022.
Yucun founded China’s first “zero-carbon village”. The trendy building “Yucun Impression” transformed from a chemical plant was completed. Being a veritable zero-carbon building, it relies on renewable energy photovoltaic power generation system for carbon offset.

Ecological priority and green development are reshaping people’s production and life. In July 2022, “Yucun Global Partner Program” was launched, inviting global talents to jointly build Yucun and broaden green development.
