5G-A weaves a new picture of wisdom, and technology empowers Huangshan s agriculture, culture and tourism to transform. News on November 25 (Yan Yi) On November 15, the Anhui International Culture and Tourism Festival arrived as scheduled, and Huangshan, a famous mountain with thousands of years of history, once again welcomed guests from all over the world. Strolling on the top of the mist-shrouded Huangshan Mountain, the ancient alleys of Hongcun like ink paintings, and the quiet and remote villages of Lingshan, tourists are not only intoxicated by the beauty of nature and humanity, but also quietly feel a profound change led by 5G-A technology. Today, with the deep integration of digital economy and real economy, the agricultural, cultural and tourism industry is becoming an important fulcrum for rural revitalization and cultural inheritance. It is understood that China Telecom Anhui Company has joined hands with Huawei to comprehensively upgrade the network infrastructure of key scenic spots such as Huangshan Scenic Area, Hongcun, and Lingshan Village. A stable and high-speed 5G-A network has covered every core link of viewing, sightseeing, guiding, and traveling in the scenic spots, effectively empowering agricultural and cultural tourism scenarios such as low-altitude economy, tourism live broadcast, rural governance, B&B management, and intangible cultural heritage protection. It has significantly improved visitor experience and scenic area operation efficiency, becoming a typical example of technology assisting the development of agricultural and cultural tourism. Huangshan: Above the cloud, everything is connected Huangshan Scenic Area is one of the first scenic spots in the country to start digital construction. From being selected as a 5G + Smart Tourism application pilot in 2021 to the current comprehensive upgrade of the 5G-A network, the network has always been regarded as the cornerstone of transformation. Currently, China Telecom has deployed 5G-A base stations all over major scenic spots. Through carrier aggregation and spectrum enhancement technology, the network speed is 3-5 times higher than that of ordinary 5G, and the peak downlink speed reaches 3Gbps. This means that in the crowded Huangshan Scenic Area, tourists can smoothly share the beautiful scenery, and the anchor's live broadcast screen will no longer be laggy. The most eye-catching thing is the low-altitude economy enabled by 5G-A. In the past, it was the norm for mountain porters to carry materials on their backs. However, as the aging of mountain porters has become increasingly prominent, the transportation capacity problem has become a problem that restricts the operation of scenic spots and ecological protection. In May 2023, the scenic spot launched a pilot program for normalized drone transportation, opening up a 3.2-kilometer fixed route between Ciguang Pavilion and Tianhai. Relying on the high reliability and low latency characteristics of the 5G-A network, drones can complete a round-trip transportation in just 17 minutes, stably transporting various types of materials such as food, daily necessities, and household waste, effectively breaking the bottleneck of insufficient traditional transportation capacity. From May 2023 to October 2025, drones flew a total of 106,669 sorties, transporting 2,268.77 tons of domestic waste, various food materials, engineering materials, linens and other materials, with a maximum daily transportation volume of 6 tons. At the same time, the drone route is independent of the tourist trails, which not only ensures safety, but also avoids damage to the ecology, effectively forming a human-machine complementarity. At present, the low-altitude application of drones has been expanded to multiple scenarios such as order guidance, emergency rescue, and ecological patrol, and has become an advanced practice in the intelligent operation of mountainous scenic spots. For live tour guides who are rooted here, the 5G-A network is an effective partner in work. It is understood that more than a hundred people are engaged in tourism live broadcasts in Huangshan Scenic Area every day. Due to the large number of tourists and complex mountain conditions on Huangshan Mountain, it is difficult for ordinary networks to solve the network demand of high-density crowds and the signal attenuation problem of the mountain. However, the 5G-A network can solve the above problems well. Therefore, Huangshan tour guides have chosen 5G-A packages for tour guide live broadcast . The stable connection allows them to convey the magnificence of Huangshan Mountain to the audience in front of the screen in real time. In addition, fire prevention is the top priority for ecological barriers in mountainous scenic spots. Huangshan Scenic Area relies on the power of science and technology and relies on the 5G-A network to build an intelligent fire prevention network that integrates air, space and ground. Through the AI early warning system, it can realize automatic monitoring, positioning and early warning of forest fires all day long and in all time and space. As of 2025, there have been no forest fires in the Huangshan Scenic Area for 46 consecutive years, becoming a model case of the integration of ecological protection and technology, effectively protecting the authenticity and integrity of Huangshan Mountain. Hongcun: Ancient charm reborn, safe and worry-free Stepping into Hongcun, the green tiles and white walls are reflected in the South Lake, and time seems to have stood still. In this ancient village with a long history and culture, there is an invisible intelligent brain hidden. The town-level smart management platform integrates more than 300 monitoring points, and security, sanitation, fire protection, and passenger flow diversion are all under control. When there is congestion somewhere, managers can make remote arrangements to ensure an orderly tour. As an ancient village with mainly brick and wood structures, fire prevention is the line of defense for life. The smart firefighting platform introduced in 2016 is now even more sensitive with the support of 5G-A, IoT and other technologies. According to relevant staff of the Hongcun Smart Fire Monitoring Platform, the smoke detectors, electrical lines, and fire water sources of key buildings in the village are all interconnected, allowing 24-hour monitoring and linkage alarms. Once an abnormality occurs, the alarm will be transmitted to the management center as soon as possible, adding a smart lock to the safety of ancient buildings. Lingshan: Returning geese return home, industrial revitalization On the other side, Lingshan Village, located in Huizhou, has thousands of acres of ancient terraces and bamboo seas from the Ming Dynasty. The scenery is equally pleasant, but Lingshan Village has also been slightly depressed because young people went out to work. In 2024, with the improvement of infrastructure and the trial operation of Dalingshan Tourist Resort, there will be a wave of returning geese returning home . Root carving artists will return to their hometowns to start businesses, and intangible cultural heritage wines will regain their vitality. This year, the collective operating income of Lingshan Village exceeded one million yuan, and the per capita asset income of villagers increased by 20,000 yuan. Digital technology not only brings convenience to life, but also real economic benefits and development hopes. People are willing to stay because they see the future of their hometown Fang Jinhui, the operator of the Lingshan Village Jiu Niang Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Center, said that it uses 5G-A network technology to promote rural specialties and culture through live broadcasts, as well as build private traffic and e-commerce channels, which has effectively increased the sales of rural products. Conclusion From the top of Huangshan Mountain to the ancient villages of Huizhou, the 5G-A network is like an invisible thread, closely connecting nature, culture, countryside and modern technology. It does not change the nature of the landscape, but it makes the protection more scientific; it does not subvert the style of the ancient village, but it makes life more secure; it does not have earth-shattering slogans, but it makes the pace of development more solid. This is the truest and most moving way of integrating technology into rural areas
