Chating town is at the forefront of rural revitalization, capitalizing on unique characteristic agricultural resources, effectively using unused assets, converting vacant residential houses into catering spaces, and guiding residents to develop a thriving courtyard economy. Its distinctive advantages in developing this novel economy, combined with policies promoting opening up and innovation, have drawn many people to return to start businesses, including Tan.

After graduating from the police academy in 2015, Tan became a vlogger who sold agricultural products online. In 2020, she renovated an old residential house, marking the start of her flourishing courtyard business.

"Rural areas have seen a remarkable transformation in recent years, with substantial improvements in infrastructure and the rapid growth of characteristic industries. Here in Chating, a flower cultural festival is held every year during the rapeseed blooming season. The festival provides an opportunity for us to boost sales of local agricultural products and develop our homestay businesses," said Tan.
