Harvest of success

Located in Fengyang county of East China's Anhui province, Xiaogang village draws tourists for its idyllic scenery, agriculture, rural reform and folk customs.

In 1978, villagers in Xiaogang were the first to contract a plot of State-owned land, drawing open the curtain of reform in rural China. Their initiative has since spread and developed into a system approved by the central government and implemented throughout the country.

Now, tourists can visit the thatched cabin where they signed the agreement, which was inscribed as a national-level cultural heritage site.

There is also an exhibition hall about China's rural reform and achievements.
