Taking advantage of the improved rural road network, Wudang is upgrading its rural development mode – combining transportation with logistics, tourism and industry.

As a result, countryside sightseeing destinations – including Yangchang Huahua Town, Pianpo Yuanwei Town and Xinbao Fumei village – are enjoying rising popularity with short-distance trip tourists.

Moreover, the Huoshipo Food Industrial Park, the Smart Yunjin Industrial Incubation Base and the Baiyi Tianhui Tea Garden have achieved rapid development in the wake of better transport access.
