Zhang Xingli，a 60-year-old villager，sat on a stone in front of his house and struck a pose as painters quickly sketched him and his traditional house.At his age，Zhang never thought he could earn money working as a model in Sanhe，a poverty-stricken mountain village in Henan province.The village welcomes tourists who come to draw landscapes and recreate the beauty of its traditional houses.
    In fact，the village was once in poverty and the surrounding rolling hills and deep gorges made it difficult to access.Most of the land was not fertile and there was no mineral wealth under the ground.One-third of the 415 village households lived in poverty.
    In 2016，changes began when Feng Yake，a native，returned to the village from Zhengzhou，the provincial capital.As a college-trained artist，the 33-year-old had run an art school in Zhengzhou for years.During that period，F(xiàn)eng had taken his students to many places to draw landscapes，which made him realize the value of the rustic village. "Mountains，groves by the river，cottages-this type of scenery was exactly what schools and art studios needed for their students.I thought it would be wonderful if I could return home and open a sketch base.So I decided to come back." Feng said.
    Feng raised 1.5 million yuan and went back to his hometown.He turned his old house into a four-floor hotel for art students who wanted to paint and draw landscapes.Six months later，F(xiàn)eng and his family earned 200，000 yuan.His vision brought fellow villagers inspiration They were encouraged to build and run homestays.Old houses and a bean curd workshop were repaired.The walls were painted white to contrast with the gray roof tiles.The village signed contracts with more than 70 art studios to receive artists and students.
    Sanhe Village shook off poverty in 2018.Now，25 agritainment（農(nóng)家樂）resorts have been built in the village，receiving more than 30，000 tourists and generating an annual income of over 4 million yuan.The influx of tourists has brought more job opportunities to Sanhe villagers，and many young people have returned to start businesses.
