Zhuge-family heritage
The village’s cultural identity draws on the idea of farming and learning passed through the family. A 2015 provincial heritage account describes an exhibition established in 2005 in Sanrong Hall (三荣堂), one of its traditional halls, about Zhuge Liang and later generations. Written displays, pictures, objects and sculpted figures tell stories of public service and integrity, adding a biographical dimension to the village’s family heritage.
Tea gardens and seasonal countryside
Lanhu Tourism Resort (兰湖旅游度假区) offers tea-culture learning and cycling among tea gardens. The rural tourism circuit also includes the Underground River (地下长河). Spring flowers, including rapeseed and peach blossom, and fruit-picking activities provide further ways to experience the surrounding agricultural landscape.
