(250712) -- SHANGRAO, July 12, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Tourists visit the Wangxian Valley Scenic Spot in Wangxian Township of Shangrao City, east China's Jiangxi Province, July 11, 2025. Once a granite mining quarry, Wangxian Valley has been transformed into a popular tourist destination following a government ban on disorderly mining, with its natural cliffs creatively repurposed into attractions such as cliffside hotels, cliff skywalks and waterfalls.
Thanks to its ethereal and mystical views, this valley has garnered wide attention. In the first quarter of 2025, the valley hosted 615,800 visitors, generating 120 million yuan (about 16.73 million U.S. dollars) in revenue.
This tourism boom has also benefited surrounding villagers. Many of them have opened shops and restaurants within the scenic area, while others have found relevent jobs. (Xinhua/Liu Jinhai)
