Yantian in Dongguan, a manufacturing and trade mecca in south China's Guangdong province, has become the first village in the city to surpass 10 billion yuan (about $1.4 billion) in economic output. By 2023, total assets of Yantian and its lower-level units reached 10.26 billion yuan, according to a local government work report.

The village, located at the southeastern end of Dongguan and bordering Shenzhen, Guangdong, covers a total area of 24 square kilometers, with a permanent population of about 150,000. Industrial development, spurred by the introduction of key projects, has played an essential role in promoting Yantian's economy.

Fernando Munoz Bernal is a vlogger from the Colombia, and he visits Yantian recently to learn about the rural revitalization and industrial transformation.
