Multiple well-known guitarists were recently invited to Sheye Jilai homestay.
They delivered duets and solo performances for tourists at the homestay that sits in Wenling city, Zhejiang province on a picturesque peninsula. The initiative was part of local authorities' efforts to introduce original music and classical guitar to homestays in Wenling to promote rural tourism and drive high-quality integration of culture and tourism.

Leveraging abundant stone-house homestay resources and related cultural heritage, Wenling has signed a cooperation agreement with several guitarists to achieve a "harmonic resonance" between art and homestays.
The temperament of guitars aligns well with Wenling's homestay ambience featuring ocean views and island scenery, according to the city's culture, radio, television, tourism and sports bureau.
Through the creation of original music exclusively for Wenling tourism and homestays by guitarists, along with the establishment of musicians' studios, it will further enrich the artistic atmosphere of Wenling tourism, said an official from the bureau.
