"When you get close to Rocks Can Sing, you can hear artists playing music with the rocks while sipping coffee in rock houses," Lin said. "The project quickly became a success, attracting visitors from the mainland and Taiwan. Some Taiwan artists even come to the village to seek artistic inspiration."

During the May Day holiday, average daily visitor numbers in Beigang exceeded 10,000. Rallied by the couple's success, authorities decided to designate Beigang as "a village with a cultural and creative industry" to attract more businesses.

"The market in Taiwan is almost saturated, while the mainland provides more opportunities," said Lin's wife, Syu Lin-yi. "I like it in Pingtan, so I have brought my relatives here, too."

In Beigang, more than 30 young people have also settled and started similar businesses. "We hope to breathe new life into the village through art and homestays," Lin said.
