In Puyuan Village, there is a brook running through it. The brook was named Carp Brook as there are nearly ten thousand carps in it. For more than 800 years, villagers in this ancient village have lived in harmony with carps in the brook. In recent years, local authorities have fully tapped the cultural heritage of Carp Brook and carried out a protection and repair project of the ancient village in a bid to promote rural revitalization. In 2023, Carp Brook scenic area received 1.12 million tourist trips, a year-on-year increase of 9.6 percent, with tourism revenue reaching 627 million yuan (about 86 million U.S. dollars).
