Wind and tourism put city of Shanwei on road to riches

Meanwhile, Shanwei is also vigorously developing its electronics, information, car parts and infrastructure industries while redoubling efforts to protect historical sites, explore its Red tourism potential and develop mariculture, and ecological and tourism-related agricultural industries.

Chenzhou village, which has a 300-year-history of raising oysters, was listed as one of Guangdong's modern agricultural parks last year.

The oyster industry brought the tiny village 560 million yuan last year, up 21.74 percent from 2020, and played an important role in eliminating poverty there.

Just 0.45 square kilometers in size, Chenzhou, which is known as the "village of oysters", is home to 1,760 residents in 396 households.
