Nestled at the southern foot of Huangshan Mountain, Chengkan Village in Anhui Province boasts a history of over 1,800 years. The ancient Hui-style architecture blends with distant mountains and misty clouds here, creating a picturesque landscape.

The village actively promotes its tourism industry through a "cultural experience + local consumption" model, while deeply integrating the intangible cultural heritage of fish lanterns into the tourism industry. Visitors can not only experience fish lantern crafting but also join the lantern parade in traditional costumes.

In the first half of 2025, Chengkan Village saw 814,000 tourist trips, marking a year-on-year increase of 28.52 percent.
