The local government closely observes the service sector, a strong support to the tourism industry. Feng said there are over 20 homestays in Fenghua. Moreover, restaurants boasting original local cuisine are found at almost every corner of the district. 

To better serve tourism, the government has innovated work methods, brand building and startup incubation. 

Feng said they are working hard to preserve Fenghua's unique taste while promoting it internationally. She noted some difficulties in developing all-for-one tourism, such as the management system, integration of various industries and market exploration which will be the key points of the government's future work.
