The Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly announced the fourth batch of national key villages of rural tourism and the second batch of national key towns (townships) of rural tourism. Yongmo Village in Zhongshan's Sanxiang Town was selected to become the second national key village of rural tourism in Zhongshan.
