The village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and has a perfectly arable land for growing agricultural crops. Naturally, the village\u2019s cash crops have been rice and tea for a long time. However, the village has been suffering from poverty resulting from low income levels of villagers, who are mostly farmers. To tackle this issue, there was a long discourse on how to improve the villagers\u2019 living standards. A number of multi-stakeholders like village farmers, local government agencies, Vanke, and Seeed came together to brainstorm ideas. As a result, we agreed that rural revitalization and village tourism were the keys to relieve poverty. Therefore, Vanke decided to renovate the village\u2019s old Hakka architecture to boost tourism, while deploying IoT gears to create a competitive edge.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-51166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/xiankeng-village.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/xiankeng-village.png 640w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/xiankeng-village-300x107.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Figure 2.
