Huzhou, Zhejiang province, is where the idea that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets first took root.
In March this year, China's first local regulation specifically designed to encourage young people to develop rural areas was enacted in Huzhou.
By integrating youth-driven rural development into local legal and planning frameworks, the regulation aims to address key challenges and inject fresh energy into rural revitalization.
Since the start of 2025, Huzhou has launched over 2,000 youth-led innovation projects across its rural areas.
