00:00 Green bricks, black tires and mato wallets.
00:17 This is Wuyuan County in China's Jiangxi Province, which is known to many as China's
00:22 most beautiful countryside.
00:24 Tuochuan, a small mountain town in Wuyuan, attracts over 50,000 people each year for
00:31 sketching.
00:32 To sketch, you first need to find a place with a beautiful landscape.
00:36 We've come to the right place.
00:38 This is said to be one of the earliest sketching bases in Tuochuan.
00:48 In 2001, Yu Dizhu's sketching base founded by Yu and his father was formally inaugurated.
00:55 Nowadays, nearly 200 art academies have established offices in Tuochuan, designating it as a permanent
01:04 sketching base.
01:05 In 2011, my father and I went to Tuochuan to transport our sketching books. One day, we met a group of 20 students from Wuyuan, Hubei Province. We introduced them to Tuochuan. They said the place was beautiful and suitable for sketching. They then started to promote the place. We gradually built the base.
01:33 Sketching bases like this have attracted tourists and created business opportunities for young
01:39 entrepreneurs.
01:40 Hello, I'd like a cup of coffee.
01:43 The earliest time I came here was in 2010. I came here for fun. After that, I found a relatively
01:54 primitive village that had never been developed. It's not boring to live in a B&B here. There are often students from the sketching base. Students like to play here.
02:12 The sketching base has developed the sketching industry. The sketching industry has attracted a large number of young people to start their own businesses. It has brought a great increase in the income of the people. The sketching industry has become a supportive industry for the sketching base.
02:24 Luscious waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. The picturesque scenery has spurred the development of a local industry. Tuochuan, with its distinctive Hui-style ancient architecture and pastoral landscapes, has experienced heightened vitality through the development of the sketching industry.
02:46 This has helped transform the remote town into a famed hub of sketching in China, painting a promising picture of rural revitalization.
