Abstract
In China today, the ease of movement through sociogeographic space has led to an estranged relationship between individuals and their ancestral homelands, and thus a sense of alienation for many urban Chinese. In part to amend this problem, millions of domestic urban tourists seek rural recreation every year. This thesis, using one eco-agritourism venue in Anhui as a case study, examines the changing conditions of 'native-place' as it becomes a commodity, and asks: what are the authentic qualities of the 'local' in a globalizing China?
