Abstract: The integration of rural culture and tourism serves as a vital approach to promoting rural revitalization.Achieving high-quality development in this field holds significant practical value for advancing rural civilization and enhancing governance efficiency.Drawing on the development characteristics of villages in large urban fringe areas,as well as relevant policies and literature,this paper first elucidates the importance of culturetourism integration for rural revitalization in metropolitan fringe zones,particularly in terms of development opportunities and synergistic effects.Subsequently,using Jiangou Village in Miaofengshan Town,Mentougou District,Beijing as a case study of culture-tourism integration practices,we analyze three major constraints hindering such integration in fringe villages:ambiguous understanding of integration concepts,inadequate resource preservation and utilization mechanisms,and inefficient tourism product transformation.Finally,from the perspective of culture-tourism integration,we propose a rural revitalization development pathway for large urban fringe areas, centering on local culture and suburban tourism.This pathway encompasses innovations in cultural heritage interpretation,integrated development of cultural and tourism resources,and diversified management and operation models.Our findings aim to provide decision-making support for cultural-tourism development in metropolitan fringe villages and contribute to rural revitalization endeavors.
