In June 2021, in order to promote the development of rural tourism, with the support of the Jizhou Culture and Tourism Bureau and Xiaying town, Guojiagou village signed an agreement with Tianjin Taotao Investment Co., Ltd. to invest 150 million yuan (about $22 million) to upgrade and manage the village in accordance with national AAAA tourist attraction standards. During the "May Day" holiday in 2022, the upgraded Guojiagou scenic area witnessed a peak in tourists visiting the area. The number of visitors was 30% higher than that of peak seasons before the pandemic. Within two months of opening, the number of visitors reached 120,000, 6.6 times the number before the upgrade.

Guojiagou scenic area has a parent-child themed climbing park, water park, jungle roller coaster, flower sea, swan lake, and other spaces suitable for leisure and sightseeing. There are more than 40 bed-and-breakfast homestays and characteristic farmyards in the scenic area, which can accommodate up to 1,000 people.

In 2023, the scenic area will rely on the mountain and water resources of Guojiagou village and the characteristics of local folk customs to create a series of recreation projects, so as to further enrich the entertaining experience of visitors.
