Traditional farming methods and culture in rural areas have been affected by the rapid industrialisation and urbanisation of cities and the modernisation of agriculture. People's pursuit of immediate agricultural production economy has led to the destruction of the rural ecological environment and natural resources. In recent years, rural tourism has become the mainstream of urban suburban tourism, opening up a stable and sustainable development space for tourism agriculture. The report of the Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) puts forward the idea of “creating a harmonious and beautiful countryside that magnifies the charm of the original ecological countryside”, and tourist agriculture will have a bright future under the strategy of rural revitalisation. This article, through the development history, theoretical studies and case studies of tourism agriculture, builds a theoretical framework for agricultural tourism, identifies six tourism agriculture construction types, and proposes ecological, economic, industrial, cultural and educational aspects of agricultural tourism based on the guidelines of ‘comprehensive sightseeing, diversified experience, and economic output’. It also proposes a strategy for the construction of beautiful villages based on the five dimensions of ecology, economy, industry, culture and education in agricultural tourism. It provides a theoretical basis and reference suggestions for the future development of sightseeing agriculture and beautiful countryside construction in Chengdu.
