"Working near home is much better," said the mother of a four-year-old child. "I can take care of my child every day. The hotel provides accommodation, too."
Now 404 families live in Longwangba. More than 200 people in the village work in the tourism sector. About 20 families own rural guest houses, each earning over 20,000 yuan every year.
In 2017, more than 130,000 travelers visited the village, and the annual per capita revenue rose to 9,200 yuan (about 1,333 U.S. dollars).
"People used to try their best to escape from here. Now with the improved infrastructure, they are coming back," said Jiao Bingnan, a homestay hotel owner, pointing to an array of newly decorated hotels with independent bathrooms.
Jiao has succeeded in daredevil entrepreneurship, and he is not hesitant to support young people who have dreams.
"Those who could come up with viable tourism programs or business proposals will get my support in office space, training and investment," he said.
Now the village offers a great variety of recreational services such as coffee bars, pubs, 5D experience facilities and escape rooms.
"The rural rejuvenation is about keeping the young people in the villages and giving them a reason to stay and make a living here," he said.
Jiao is married and has an eight-year-old daughter. When he does not need to go on business tours, he spends most of his time in the village.
