In 2018, the project of "Hangzhou Xiaoshan-Guizhou Congjiang Cooperation in Poverty Alleviation through Tourism" helped 433 people receive dividends and 311 people got out of poverty. The project generated a profit of 2.73 million yuan (380,000 U.S. dollars) for the year. By combining rural areas with tourism, China achieved positive effects on long-term poverty alleviation.
