Assessing Guangdong’s “Hundred Counties, Thousand Towns, and Ten Thousand Villages” project, this paper evaluates beautiful village construction across four dimensions: environment, infrastructure, local industries, and grassroots governance. It identifies common shortcomings—low industrial sophistication, weak cultural resource conversion, poor facility maintenance, and inadequate governance mechanisms. Considering regional disparities in fiscal capacity and resource flows among the Pearl River Delta, eastern, western, and northern Guangdong, the study proposes targeted improvements in regional coordination, industrial chain extension, cultural exploration, long-term management systems, and governance refinement. These recommendations offer practical references for advancing rural revitalization in this coastal province.
