In terms of rural tourism development, Huaxi focused on developing projects such as Qingyan Nongfu Garden.

The district also successfully held the first Huaxi strawberry picking season in 2020.

It built two grade-A villages for rural tourism and 15 boutique inns. Longjing village in Qingyan town and Raorao village in Gaopo township were selected as national key villages for rural tourism.

In 2020, tourists praised the series of themed activities related to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in Qingyan Ancient Town and the night tours of Tianhetan Scenic Spot.

In the future, as one of China's first batch of global tourism demonstration zones, the district will promote tourism innovation development projects and the tourism industrialization process. The goal is to accelerate Huaxi's transformation from a large tourism resource area to a strong tourism economy area.
