Building on tourism, Tengtou has developed higher value-added industries. Through its investment platform, the village has taken controlling or minority stakes in a range of emerging sectors, further strengthening its economic base. One example is its 185-million-yuan investment in Zhejiang Meiyuan New Materials Co. in 2019. The company’s engineering materials quickly gained market traction, with annual output value reaching about 1.5 billion yuan and profits exceeding 100 million yuan.
Today, the village has developed six pillar industries centered on eco-friendly growth. In 2025, Tengtou recorded a gross output value of 13.54 billion yuan and profits and taxes totaling 1.02 billion yuan. Its collective enterprises have created nearly 6,100 jobs, pushing average annual income among villagers to about 89,000 yuan.
