"It turns out that coffee trees look like this." "Can coffee cherries be eaten raw?" Recently, Baoliang Ancient Village welcomed a group of guests - more than 30 teachers and students of Hainan Weicheng Future School came here to carry out the study tour of "Experiencing Farming and Remembering Homesickness". Standing in front of the coffee tree, the children listened with great interest to the village staff carambola about the origin and development of the "Fukuyama Coffee" culture, and the whole process from a coffee bean to a cup of coffee. After the explanation, the starfruit showed the grinding techniques and brewing methods of hand-brewed coffee, and everyone learned to make their own cup of hand-brewed coffee with great interest.
The next day, the students of Hainan Weicheng Future School came to the wood workshop and transformed into "little carpenters" in an environment full of log colors and various woodworking tools. Under the guidance of professional carpenter masters, they carefully make interesting works such as small wooden stools, bamboo dragonflies, small wooden swords, and wooden pistols.

"Through the understanding and transformation of wood, students can realize the transformation of raw materials to creative design finished products, and can personally feel the process of 'change of things', which not only cultivates hands-on ability, but also gaines a sense of achievement, which is particularly meaningful." Chen Chunmei, a teacher at Hainan Weicheng Future School, said that the Baoliang Ancient Village Study Tour Project is rich and diverse, and the students also experienced a series of courses on nature education and labor education such as making rice wine, making chili sauce, and making paper kites, and the harvest was full.
The reporter learned that Baoliang Ancient Village is an ancient village with a history of 300 years, and there are many centuries-old banyan trees and blood-sealed throat trees in the village, which are in harmony with dozens of centuries-old stone houses and thousands of acres of fertile fields around them. In 2018, aiming at the revitalization of the countryside, four young people in the village returned to their hometowns to start a business, willing to become watchmen in the rice fields, spending money and energy to launch the "Baoliang Coffee Ancient Village" project, retaining an original farmland fun.
In recent years, with the deep penetration of the concept of experiential education and the integration and development of the agricultural tourism industry, the "study tour" activity has gradually become a new hot spot in tourism. Taking this opportunity, Baoliang Ancient Village, relying on its resource advantages and cultural heritage, actively explores the development path of study tours, so that the former "hollow village" has gradually become a "net red village" in Hainan, and now receives nearly 500 tourists per week.
"Baoliang Ancient Village retains the beautiful nostalgia and also retains the valuable tourism resources." The relevant person in charge of Xida Farm Company said that since the state vigorously advocated study tours, the development of the island's study tour market is in full swing, and the farm company will also grasp this "outlet", actively promote cooperation with Baoliang Ancient Village, and strive to make the century-old village achieve new changes and create more competitive "study tour" products.
