Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge completes first summer tourism season

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in Guizhou Province, China, completed its first summer tourism season in September 2025, marking a significant milestone for the once-quiet Bouyei ethnic village of Huajiang. Since the bridge's opening, the village has experienced a surge in activity, with all 15 homestays and 13 restaurants booked daily throughout the summer.

The bridge's construction has spurred a revitalization of the local economy, transforming idle farm houses into high-end accommodations, upgrading traditional cuisine, and developing migrant workers' returned businesses. This surge in cool-climate tourism has not only improved the livelihoods of local residents but also injected strong momentum into the broader rural revitalization efforts.
