Environmental improvements also paved the way for better living conditions. Over the past decade, rows of modern homes have replaced older housing in central Tengtou, turning the long-held goal of providing every household with a new home into reality. In March 2023, the village launched a "future community" project, adding 118 apartment units, 181 village homes, and numerous parks, along with a community service center that brings daily amenities closer to residents. Housing a farmers' market, a supermarket, and spaces for cultural and recreational activities, the center has helped reshape not only the village's appearance, but also the pace and quality of everyday life.
