The Xisaishan Tourism Resort in Huzhou has recently secured a coveted spot on the roster of 22 national-level tourism resorts released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Situated in Miaoxi town, Wuxing district, the resort has evolved into a multifaceted tourism gem, seamlessly merging cultural enrichment, ecological rejuvenation, parent-child educational excursions, and tranquil rural getaways over the years.
