Here, tourists can immerse themselves in national culture, ecological culture, health care culture, farming culture, and experience the cooking smoke of ancient villages, pastoral songs, singing and dancing, Dong oil tea, Miao sour soup and other beautiful foods.
There are traditional village clusters with Miao and Dong customs, villages with ethnic minority characteristics, original ethnic culture museums, hot rural sports carnivals, and rich and colorful intangible cultural heritage on this road. The relevant person in charge of the Publicity Department of Qiandongnan Prefectural Party Committee said that "China Rural Tourism Highway 1" is the home for tourists' tired minds, and the most beautiful nostalgic road in China to experience "the paradise of peach on earth and happiness".
The opening of "China Rural Tourism Highway 1" has also made the life of local people more convenient. "Before the opening of Highway 1, it took us about 8 hours to get to Kaili County, but now it only takes us more than two hours." Wu Zaixing, a villager in Qiaolai Village, Sanjiang Township, Rongjiang County, told his true feelings.

The road has good greening, beautiful scenery and many villages on both sides. You can experience many different village customs, which is very suitable for cycling enthusiasts to clock in.".
