Zhoushan has focused on transforming its fishing villages by restoring the environment, upgrading key scenic areas, and creating inviting coastal leisure zones.

A major part of this transformation is the reuse of idle village houses. Vacant buildings have been renovated into stylish homestays, forming the backbone of a growing rural tourism economy.

Currently, these once-quiet island communities have become vibrant destinations, attracting visitors seeking natural scenery and authentic coastal experiences.
