Yancang subdistrict in Dinghai district, Zhoushan, East China's Zhejiang province, has in recent years been exploring ways to tap into its natural resources to achieve common prosperity.

For example, authorities have renovated some ancient temples, villages, relics, and a postal stop to build an 11-kilometer cultural landscape, which constitutes an important part of the 100.5-kilometer Donghai Cultural Corridor.

The local government has also been making efforts to convert idle assets to common prosperity workshops, cafés, homestays, and restaurants to develop businesses such as rural tourism, wellness, and e-commerce.

Agricultural products such as corn, peanuts, peaches, tea leaves and waxberry wine are sold at the workshop, which will significantly improve residents' incomes, according to Huang Feifei, a staff member of a common prosperity workshop adjacent to the postal stop.

Huang added that the workshop has received more than 10,000 tourists since it opened in May and sold 12,500 kilograms of agricultural products, with the transaction volume reaching nearly 100,000 yuan ($13,765.81).

The workshop has also provided jobs to more than 20 residents, increasing their per capita income by 1,800 yuan per month.

Authorities have established a tourism development company aimed at advancing the in-depth integration of agriculture, culture and tourism, which will in turn aid the subdistrict's common prosperity drive.
