Currently, the local agritainment could provide tourists with fresh fruits, the experience of feeding fowls and picking vegetables, and campfire parties, which has received over 2,960 visitors since the beginning of this year, generating almost 90,000 yuan in revenue. The tourist reception center of Dro village is under construction.
