In September 2025, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Guizhou Province opened its doors to traffic. This monumental project, hailed as "the world's highest bridge both vertically and horizontally," brought the once-peaceful Huajiang Village its first-ever summer vacation season.

The village's revitalization has resulted in a striking change in its appearance, with concrete roads, immaculate surroundings, and a growing popularity that has improved the livelihood and happiness of its residents. The flourishing summer tourism industry has successfully converted cultural tourism into a sustained development momentum, injecting a strong impetus into comprehensive rural revitalization.
