The Ebiling ancient post road has attracted flocks of young travelers to experience its rural charm. Camping sites and hiking routes have been developed around the post road in Dasha village, Zhoushan of Zhejiang province, and the local environment has been improved to boost rural tourism.

The road is adjacent to a reservoir, which has been affectionately named a "heavenly emerald gem", making the area an ideal getaway.

According to the plan, local authorities will also make use of empty farmhouses, gradually improve waterfront platforms, and build barbecue facilities to spice up traveler experience in the village.
