Homestay rekindles memories of Alpine childhood
China DailyHEFEI — As the countryside wakes up on an early winter morning, Armin Schober sits in the courtyard of his homestay, sipping hot coffee while gazing at the mist-shrouded mountains in the distance. Schober and his Chinese wife, Huang Qiong, run a homestay in Tachuan, a village at the foothills of Huangshan Mountain, a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site in East China's Anhui province. I hope she can grow up in a free and natural environment and live her life to the fullest, just like I did when I was a child," said Schober, whose hometown is a small mountain village in Innsbruck. "The booming homestay industry has not only attracted people, capital and information to flow into villages but has also inspired entrepreneurs to establish businesses in rural areas," He said.
