"Qingzhen has many good products besides homestays and entertainment projects," said Gao Yanqiong, chairman of Guizhou Guochuang Technology Group, "We hope Qingzhen can enrich its cultural and creative products by incorporating more international elements and closely integrating business and culture."

The city has 14 rural tourism villages, 17 key rural tourism towns, and 208 homestays and accommodations with 1,535 rooms and 2,030 beds distributed around Hongfeng Lake and the Yachi River area of Dongfeng Lake.
