(250710) -- FUZHOU, July 10, 2025 (Xinhua) -- An artisan demonstrates woodblock printing technique in Zhuqiao Village, Jinxi County of Fuzhou, east China's Jiangxi Province, July 9, 2025. Jinxi County, with centuries-long history, still preserves over 100 ancient villages dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911), which has won the county fame as an "ancient village museum without bounding walls." Zhuqiao is a prominent representative among the villages, featuring 109 existing ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
To maximize the preservation of its ancient charm, local authorities have continuously improved the infrastructure in Zhuqiao, systematically renovated historical buildings, and focused on developing industries such as cultural creativity, traditional Chinese medicine health services, and distinctive homestays.
In 2024, Zhuqiao Village welcomed around 514,300 visitors, and generated over 3 million yuan (about 418,018 U.S. dollars) in additional income for local villagers, establishing itself as a model of ancient village revitalization that integrates cultural experiences, intangible heritage studies, and rural tourism.
