Located at the intersection of Yixian, Xiuning and Qimen counties, Yuting town in Huangshan offers a prime location with convenient transportation. Just a one-hour drive from the world-renowned Huangshan Mountain and close to the Xidi and Hongcun villages, both UNESCO World Heritage sites, Yuting town boasts a natural beauty blending idyllic countryside with vibrant creative spaces.

The town has been focusing on improving its aesthetic and cultural appeal by creating attractive "nodes" throughout. A pocket park in Wangcun village, featuring multi-functional recreational spaces, exemplifies how rural spaces can be transformed for the benefit of the local community. A retro street corner near the 1981 Yuting train station echoes the past through 80s-style architecture and murals.
Agriculture in the town also benefits from the town's focus on rural industry development. Wangcun's fragrant rice, now produced through a fully integrated model involving land leasing, cooperative farming, and mechanization, has gained widespread market popularity.

The rise of rural tourism further enhances the town's appeal. Villages like Tuanjie and Minghu provide serene travel experiences, with local bed-and-breakfasts offering visitors a taste of authentic farm life and homegrown meals.
Yuting town is increasingly recognized as a vibrant destination for relaxation, cultural exploration, and culinary enjoyment, offering both locals and tourists a peaceful retreat from the urban bustle.
