Once a well-known poverty-stricken village in the area around Beijing, Nanyu village in North China's Hebei province has transformed into a thriving and vibrant leisure destination over the course of five years.
This was largely thanks to "Bona Villa", a project which aims to reduce poverty through the development of rural tourism.
For Cai Jinglan, a villager whose family fell into poverty because of illnesses and now works at a guesthouse, the project arrived just in time.
