Built in the second year of Baoying of Tang Dynasty (AD 763 years), Jingde is one of the birthplaces of Anhui culture with a history of 1250 years.

To popularize the concept of leisure, Jingde is actively driving the establishment of related organizations and institutions, such as the Leisure Industry Development Committee. In 2016, the Forum Summit of the International Health and Leisure Cities was held in Jingde, which gained extensive publicity of newspapers, radio and other media.

The leisure concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of people. Jingde government regularly invites local residents to act on stage, to make performances of lion dances, folk performances, tea ceremonies for inheriting tea culture and folk activities. Those activities can dig deeper meanings into the local cultural relics, cultural traditions, arts and crafts, turning the area into a lively expo park of folk culture in the southern Anhui.
