The island, composed of 11 islets with a total area of 28.3 square kilometers, is called Yushan. It boasts a variety of landscapes, including mountains, lakes, meadows, seas, beaches and islands.

As native islanders, Ouyang's family sensed the potential of their hometown becoming a tourist destination 10 years ago.

"In 2014, we noticed that visitors often came to the island for hiking and camping. Some tourists couldn't find accommodation and were even willing to sleep on the floor in my house."

The following year, her family decided to renovate and expand their two-story home, turning it into the first guesthouse in the neighborhood.

"At first, many villagers didn't understand why we were putting in so much effort to build a house, when we could just buy one off the island with the money."

Gradually, as more islanders saw how Ouyang's family profited from the business, they too began transforming their homes into guesthouses.

With the increasing number of businesses on the island, Ouyang began to think about exploring new avenues.
