After that, Baihualing attracted attention at home and abroad. Biologists and photography fans flocked there. Local eco-tourism developed rapidly, and Baihualing has become known as "China's 5A bird-watching scenic spot". The economic income of Baihualing Village in 2020 was 34.8 million yuan, 15 times that of 1995.

Over the past 30 years, Baihualing villagers have blazed a successful trail to prosperity through ecological progress while maintaining harmony between man and nature.
