In a mountain village near Chengdu, southwest China's Sichuan Province, young professionals have brought fresh energy and development by applying their skills and innovative ideas to new industries. Dai Chao, a former investment firm employee in Beijing, left his high-paying job to move to the area. He transformed six unused village cottages into charming bed-and-breakfasts by hiring local villagers for housekeeping and cooking. The services have attracted many tourists seeking a countryside getaway. The old village committee house is now a chic space featuring a guesthouse, café, and an event venue for birthdays, concerts, and more.
