Chen Zhan, from Xi'an, Shaanxi, found his sense of belonging here. After moving to Xinhua Silver Artisan Village in 2022, he was impressed by the passion of Bai artisans and the concentrated industrial ecosystem: "It's close to both the airport and the high-speed rail station, with convenient logistics. Next, I'll collaborate with more master artisans to develop new techniques and create tea ware that appeals to young people, attracting tea enthusiasts from across the country to experience this intangible heritage skill in Heqing."

Zhang Ye, an entrepreneur from Xuzhou, Jiangsu, was deeply drawn by Heqing's inclusive and open cultural environment and vibrant entrepreneurial atmosphere: "I will continue to exchange ideas and cooperate more with local artisans, creating uniquely creative pieces and promoting Heqing silverware nationwide."
