On Friday, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, toured Meizhou in the Chinese mainland's Guangdong Province, spotlighting efforts to blend cultural heritage with modern development.
His itinerary included the Ye Jianying Memorial Park, where he engaged with local initiatives promoting revolutionary history and the legacy of Meizhou's leaders. Later, Xi visited a pomelo growing base, underscoring agriculture's role in rural revitalization.
This visit reflects a broader push to support former revolutionary base areas by boosting local economies, preserving cultural sites, and driving sustainable growth. For young entrepreneurs and global travelers alike, Meizhou offers a glimpse into how tradition and innovation can converge in today's evolving countryside.
As China charts its next chapter of development, Meizhou's transformation demonstrates the potential of targeted investment and community engagement. For digital nomads seeking immersive experiences, and for thought leaders tracking global rural trends, Meizhou is a case study in balancing heritage with progress.
