The annual disposable income of the collective economy is 1.142 million yuan, and the annual per capita disposable income of farmers is 20,000 yuan. The proportion of leisure agriculture in the per capita disposable income is 15%.
 
The village is rich in tourism resources. There are natural landscapes such as Huangcaoliang, Elephant Trunk Hill, Tianxian Lazikou, and Dishui Gorge. There are historical and cultural landscapes such as the ancient Great Wall, Qilou Tower, Tianjin Pass Guard Office, and the ruins of ancient Great Wall brick kilns. There are also red – culture resources such as the Red Education Exhibition, the Patriotic Education Exhibition Hall, and the Martyr Liu Yukun’s Tomb. There are also intangible cultural heritage resources of ancient culture such as Yange Opera, Baiyu Mountain Bangzi Opera, and Yange Opera Drum.
 
The infrastructure has been improved. The whole village is mainly composed of antique – style tile – roofed houses and is an important 100 – kilometer section of the International Mountain Hiking Conference. It develops a cultural industry mainly based on Yange Opera culture. In 2005, Yange Opera was listed as a municipal – level intangible cultural heritage for protection. In the same year, Baiyu Village applied for a Yange Opera community, which has become the biggest highlight of rural tourism in Baiyu Village. Projects such as the Beautiful Rural Tourism Village Project and the Leisure Agriculture Park Project are under construction.

According to statistics, the village received 156,000 tourists in 2019, and its comprehensive tourism income reached 28 million yuan. Combined with the rural tourism economic model, sports tourism can be further developed, and special sports activities can be held to attract more tourists to participate.

Our suggests:

Create a more private multi-person accommodation service. The remote location of Baiyu village makes it difficult to attract a large number of tourists. It is better to take advantage of its beautiful environment and sparse local population to develop a more prominent style and stronger privacy theme home stay service. Attract small groups of 4-10 people. In the home accommodation service to join the play to kill a kind of push rational game, or small ball sports facilities with low requirements for the scope of the field.


Increase the construction of outdoor sports facilities. Relying on the beautiful natural environment of Baiyu Village, carrying out outdoor expansion sports, such as hiking, mountaineering, orienteering, etc., can not only meet the needs of tourists to experience nature, but also promote the development of local sports.


Combining with local folk history and culture, carrying out rural characteristic sports activities, such as farming culture experience and folk sports competition, can not only enrich tourists ‘tourism experience, but also promote local traditional culture.
