On June 19th, walking into Mayang Xia Feiyun Orchard, an old house with green bricks and black tiles came into view. After redecoration, the old house still maintains its original appearance, but it is decorated with some old objects such as black and white TVs and tape recorders, which are repaired as old as old, showing a sense of history, and integrating with the surrounding quiet and quaint environment, and have also become another popular place where everyone often comes to play and check in.
Relying on the advantageous natural resources of Buyunping Village, Longjiabao Township, Mayang Xiafeiyun Orchard is based on two old houses where the original educated youth lived in the countryside, builds a fruit industry base, integrates Mayang characteristic culture, and develops rural tourism, and has now been built into a national 3A-level tourist scenic spot and a five-star leisure farm in Hunan Province, receiving about 200,000 tourists every year.
According to Zou Xianwen, director of operation and planning of Mayang Xia Feiyun Orchard, this house was built in the 70s of the 20th century and used to live in it when the young people went to the countryside. On this basis, they have done a lot of transformation, added some old objects, placed old-fashioned TVs, tape recorders, etc., plus some cultural and creative content, which can give tourists a nostalgic experience.
In another old house where young people lived on the mountain of the park, it is in full swing, which will be transformed into a homestay, focusing on a nostalgic experience, for health and leisure living, and is expected to be completed and put into use at the end of June. Today, several old houses that have been renovated have been revitalized into restaurants, performance venues and guesthouses with different functions, and have incorporated elements of Mayang's longevity culture, where visitors can enjoy special cultural performances such as Mayang's lantern show while eating.
Integrity and innovation is an important guarantee for the solid foundation of enterprise development. Xiafeiyun Orchard not only keeps the traditional background of the old house, allowing tourists to taste the fun of nostalgia, but also uses the advantages of the geographical environment to innovate and transform around the old house, and builds rows of quack stove houses, playgrounds, performing arts stages, etc., integrating modern fashion elements, allowing tourists to truly experience the fireworks of the world, enjoy the good time of gathering with family and friends, and have a good time.
