Over the past three years, Guangdong's“Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Project”has profoundly transformed its rural landscape, turning local specialties—from Conghua's herbal medicine to Jiangmen's bitter melon—into engines of sustainable growth. Villages are not only becoming greener, but also smarter, wealthier, and more rooted in their cultural heritage. 

Behind this renewal lies a strategy that balances economic innovation with cultural preservation, creating a replicable model of rural revitalization that benefits both people and place. 

In this eighth chapter of our series, we explore the stunning transformation of 34 villages across Guangdong—where tradition meets tomorrow, and every community writes its own chapter of revival.
