Seeing the potential of the homestay economy, the local government increased financial support and established a specialized service group to assist potential investors, while continuously improving infrastructure and public services to attract more newcomers. In 2019 alone, 20 guesthouses opened in the village.

Currently, an increasing number of distinct guest houses can be found in the village, combining pastoral charm, ethnic features, and modern fashion elements.

The local industry not only brings wealth to the village but also provides a leisurely lifestyle for locals and visitors. And that's why the village is more commonly known as "Huanghuang village", which can be interpreted as "enjoy a slow-paced life in the life".
