Nowadays, relying on abundant resource of ancient tea trees, the road to tea cultivation has been opened, realizing the transformation of "coal mountains becoming tea mountains, miners becoming tea farmers, and tea gardens becoming scenic spots". Its tea products are exported to all over the world.

Sewage is discharged through "hidden pipes", while rainwater flows smoothly out through "open ditches", greatly improving the living environment of villagers.
