Lost Chinese Village Consumed By Nature

Houtowan, though still comparatively off the grid, has adopted some new methods to govern and earn from the boom, after 2 years of planning. Last year, a new viewing platform was launched, providing an overview of the village from afar, at the price of $3 per ticket.
The hiking fee around the village is $8. Local officials also put up signs outside vacant buildings to warn tourist about the potential threat of deteriorating constructions.
Meanwhile, new bed-and-breakfast accommodations have sprung up like mushrooms around the island, generating over $100,000 in 2017.
