Across China: Int'l digital nomads embrace countryside life in China

CHENGDU, May 9 (Xinhua) -- As a gentle mountain breeze mixes with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and oven baked bread, it is not hard to see why many digital nomads have chosen to live and work in Renli Village, Ziyang City, southwest China's Sichuan Province.

"The village, just a half-hour drive from downtown, offers a bucolic retreat for us," said Ke Yu, one of the founders of the digital nomad community in Renli. "Here, we escape the pollution, traffic, and crowds of the urban sprawl."
