Zhouwo Village: How its pillar industry transformed from agriculture to music instrument

Unique music cafes, musical instrument shops and small music courts can be seen almost everywhere in Zhouwo Village, Wuqiang County, Hengshui City, north China's Hebei Province. Along the streets, villagers play musical instruments happily, forming a rich musical atmosphere. Zhouwo Village was originally an ordinary agricultural village. In recent years, Wuqiang County has transformed the agicultural village into a characteristic music village relying on its musical instrument industry, while integrating the functions of "eating, living, traveling, shopping and entertainment". Today, Zhouwo Village is lit by music and culture. Villagers here have embarked on a new journey to rural revitalization.
