This study focuses on rural tourism as one way to combine the needs ofurban and rural residents, and to help urban and rural residents reaffirmand deepen their understanding of each other’s local attractions.Since 2016, the central and local governments have introduced a numberof support policies for rural tourism, and large amounts of capital haveflowed into rural areas; the February 2017 Central No.1 letter, as well asthe May 2017 notification from China’s Ministry of Finance, have promotedinitiatives for urban-rural exchange mediated by the “Rural CompositeBody”.This paper, therefore, takes up the case of the Meilinongyeyuan RuralComposite in Nanning, Guangxi, to examine the social and economicfunctions of rural tourism, which have not been fully clarified until now.Specifically, based on the results of a survey on the current status andissues of rural tourism in Nanning, we hope to clarify the social andeconomic roles of rural and urban tourism, forms of exchange, and spillovereffects on the region, as well as to assist in research on the development ofrural tourism currently being undertaken in many regions of China.
