In recent years, Xinyi, a county-level city in Maoming, has established Guangdong's holistic tourism demonstration zone and created a series of high-quality tourism routes to promote rural vitalization.

The Ma'anzhu Sea rural vitalization project in Ma'an has been in progress for more than two months. The improvement of the rural living environment, bamboo forest square, large parking lot, and other infrastructure projects, as well as five-star standard resort hotels and high-end holiday homestays have been in full swing. This project will make use of the ecological resources of the more than 30,000 mu (2,000 hectares) bamboo area in Pingtang Ma'an village, building it into an alpine holiday destination in Guangdong province according to national 4A tourist scenic spot standards.

As the Baotou-Maoming Expressway and Luoding–Xinyi Expressway have opened through the east, west, and south of Xinyi, the city will build a "rural vitalization demonstration belt" near the expressways, combining it with the national and provincial positioning of the Xinyi ecological function zone and ecological development zone.

Villagers at the Sanhua plum tourism resort in Xizhai village said that the village has changed greatly in recent years, with the beauty of the area attracting many tourists and generating local jobs for villagers.

In the future, Xinyi will focus on constructing cultural and tourism projects to promote the development of rural tourism and build a modern vibrant city.
