Luzhuang Village
Luzhuang Village is located in the beautiful Huairou District on the outskirts of Beijing, at the foot of Hongluo Mountain. It is home to the famous Hongluo Temple scenic spot in northern Beijing and Yanqi Lake International Conference Capital. It is only separated by a wall from the Mutianyu Great Wall and has abundant tourism resources. Under the guidance and support of the higher-level Party committee government and functional departments, and the efforts of the two village committees and the vast number of villagers, Luzhuang Village has developed from a small mountain village without a name to a Beijing municipal-level five-star folk village.
In recent years, with the strong support of Huairou District’s cultural tourism development and rural tourism industry development policies, Luzhuang Village has created a homestay industry with its own cultural characteristics and developed the original gourd cultural industry, allowing tourists to experience planting, making, and cultural gourd, etc., so that tourists can experience the farmhouse lifestyle. At the same time, while promoting the integration of cultural tourism, Hongluo Academy and Silk Road Academy were successively introduced for people to study and explore rural history, culture and future development directions based on the development of Hongluo culture. They have actively carried out industrial upgrading and transformation, transformed the original folk households into golden and silver homestays, successively built 9 homestays, a country hotel and 20 four- and five-star folklore households, developed vegetarian culture, and created a vegetarian-based specialty catering industry to meet the various needs of tourists. The culture of the 24 solar terms was also developed to remind people the best food to eat in each solar terms. This is what the elderly would miss and what young people would regard as new experience, and they will learn about traditional Chinese culture while enjoying the food.
