In today's era, rural tourism is flourishing and has become a popular choice for leisure and entertainment. 

The Maolou Ecotourism Area, located in Puyang, Central China's Henan Province, has attracted numerous tourists and become a shining pearl of local rural tourism, thanks to its diversified fusion of agriculture, culture, and tourism. 

This integration includes exquisite camping, pet amusement parks, and food markets. However, behind this prosperity lies the silent support and strong guarantee provided by the State Grid Puyang Power Supply Company.

State Grid Puyang Power Supply Company understands the critical role electricity plays in rural development and has actively increased its investment in Maolou Village's power infrastructure. 

Initially, the village had only five homestays, but as the local tourism industry began to grow, the demand for electricity surged. To meet this rising demand, the company responded quickly by adding transformers and power lines to Maolou Village. 

Now, with a stable and sufficient power supply, the number of homestays has grown to more than 30. Tourists can enjoy a comfortable stay, and local residents have gained new employment opportunities, significantly increasing their incomes. This change not only reflects improvements in power supply but also highlights the dynamic growth of the rural economy.

In addition to ensuring a reliable power supply, State Grid Puyang Power Supply Company has focused on integrating its infrastructure with Maolou village's natural landscape. 

The company adopted a unique design concept of "integrating poles with scenery and transforming platforms into scenery" for the construction of the power grid. Once a jarring presence, power poles have been cleverly redesigned to blend with the surrounding landscape. 

The transformers, with their carefully designed exteriors, now complement the local scenery, creating a picturesque sight. This innovative approach ensures the smooth operation of power facilities while adding a distinctive charm to Maolou Village. Tourists strolling through the village are no longer disturbed by power infrastructure, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the beautiful surroundings.
