Luojiadi village has leveraged its ecological resources to attract various art projects, including art training and exhibitions, as well as cultural and creative products like ceramics and bamboo carvings. Collaborations with renowned art institutions have brought regular art exhibitions and cultural events to the village.

These initiatives have significantly increased the village's visibility, with over 20,000 visits from across the country this year, generating over 1 million yuan ($140,365.70) in revenue and stimulating local catering services.

Zhang Guiqing, the village's Party secretary, aims to utilize the art museum as a platform for art exhibitions and exchanges, fostering artistic development.
