Abstract: It is true that tourists go to rural areas to kill time, or for sightseeing and purchases, but their ultimate aim is not to participate in rural activities or to purchase products. Instead, they seek the happiness and joyous experience in rural tourism or purchases, the mental and physical pleasure. It is of practical significance for the research and development of rural tourism to identify the origin of the contemporary rural tourist activities.
