Rural tourism has become an extremely popular option for tourists in Taicang in recent years. Efforts to integrate the development of rural areas with tourism have proved to be a success. Taicang's rural tourism has formed a unique style featuring sightseeing, catering, entertainment, leisure and business.

Some small villages with rich resources and innovative elements have become "star" rural destinations for Taicang. For instance, Donglin village in northwest Taicang boasts an ecological environment, advanced agricultural technology and high-quality agricultural products, luring an increasing number of visitors from local and neighboring cities.

In addition to fishing, picking and tasting, the village also promotes farming culture and offers real farming experiences. It is now constructing an artificial pasture expected to finish this year. Visitors will be able to experience a nomadic lifestyle, living in yurts and grazing livestock in the pasture.

The Phoenix holiday village is another hot rural attraction in Taicang. Far from the bustling city, the village features European-style villas and provides tourists the romance and elegance of beautiful lakes and green trees. Tourists can fully enjoy their time at the holiday village, riding a bicycle along the riverside, taking photos of the picturesque landscape, and savoring cuisine made of vegetables and poultry cultivated in the village.
