The mountain village of Xiadang in Shouning county, Ningde, East China's Fujian province was once a poor area and old revolutionary base, but it has now become a thriving ecotourism village thanks to a poverty reduction campaign that started 35 years ago.

A press conference will be livestreamed at 4:30 pm this afternoon, with local residents sharing stories of how they are prospering together. Remember to watch live on our page!
