“…It directly affects national economies and people's livelihoods, resulting in declining rural areas and agriculture, along with urban environmental problems [3,4]. For this reason, developed countries abroad such as Germany, Japan, South Korea and the United States have carried out a long-term and localized exploration of rural rejuvenation [5][6][7]. China is one of the most populous countries globally and has experienced rapid urbanization, with around 690,000 administrative villages and the rural population accounting for about 36.1% of the country's total population [8][9][10].…”

Rural tourism development has been an essential driving force behind China’s promotion of integrated urban–rural development, sustainable rural development and rural revitalization in the new era. This study included 1470 villages on the national list of beautiful leisure villages in China (BLVCs) from 2010 to 2021. We explored the distribution characteristics and influencing factors based on mathematical statistics and spatial analysis in ArcGIS to provide a theoretical reference for promoting the development of leisure village agriculture and rural tourism. The results show that the distribution of BLVC presents a clustered state, showing a distribution pattern of a dual core, seven centers and multiple scattered points. BLVCs are mainly distributed in areas with flat terrain and sufficient water resources, which are conducive to agricultural production and life. Having convenient transportation and rich tourism resources aids the promotion of rural tourism development. The resulting gap in regional development is balanced to some extent by government support. The research results provide a reference value for future rural spatial optimization and sustainable development. This paper summarizes the law of rural development and clarifies the factors influencing the development of rural tourism, and it provides the Chinese experience as a model for a rural renaissance empowered by rural tourism.
