The per capita disposable income for the province's ethnic-minority rural residents was 26,500 yuan ($4,110) in 2020, one of the highest among Chinese provinces.
By showcasing the charm of the She ethnic culture, the Jingning She autonomous county in Lishui and many She people settlements across the province now boast thriving tourism and agriculture industries.
Nearly 300 online stores have been established by ethnic minorities' rural settlements, raking in around 800 million yuan in annual turnover.
