Miaoshan village in Yizheng, a county-level city in Yangzhou, East China's Jiangsu province, was included on a list recognizing its beauty and recreational appeal, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced on Aug 25.
Two hundred and fifty-six villages in the country made the list.
The village captivates visitors with its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage. One of its most remarkable features is the exquisite Runde Feier Agricultural Park, which is renowned for its organic grapes and pears.

Colorful murals and guqin-making techniques have also resulted in the village's designation as a provincial five-star rural tourism attraction, and the latter has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage.
The achievement was largely due to efforts by authorities to advance the in-depth integration of tourism and agriculture over the past few years. The village has developed signature agricultural products such as chestnuts, coronal chrysanthemum, and tea leaves.
