There are four main attractions in this county: The Muse Lake, The Standard Model Deer Farm, Shi Xia Hairui Ancestral Home and the Wolong Mountain.

In 1983, a company from Guangxi moved to Tunchang and started raising geoemydid turtles on a farm.[1] They have since moved to a place near Sanya, which is closer to the ocean.
