The influence of agricultural planting in rural landscape design and tourism development — A case of Shandong Yinshi Village

Abstract

Within the framework of China's rural revitalization strategy, there is a notable positive trend in rural construction and development across various regions, accompanied by a burgeoning interest in rural tourism development. This paper focuses on Yinshi Village in Linqu County, Shandong Province, examining how the village capitalizes on its persimmon industry to shape, design, and advance tourism development within its rural landscapes. The results of this study illustrate that the persimmon industry plays a pivotal role in diversifying rural landscapes, improving the overall planning and design of rural areas, enhancing the attractiveness of rural tourism, and boosting the economic prosperity of the local population. This research contributes valuable development strategies for integrating agricultural planting into rural landscape design and tourism development. Moreover, it investigates the substantial influence of agricultural planting on both rural landscape design and tourism development, ultimately providing insights and experiences that are applicable not only in China but also in similar regions globally.
