The province of Anhui and the mountains of Tianzhushan for many years enjoyed the special attention of tourists from Russia and other former Soviet republics. Fans of martial arts, keen on kung fu, liked to came there. Therefore, it was decided to build a "Russian village" on the basis of the the Tianzhushan martial arts institute, opened by the famous master of martial arts and a great friend of Russia, Liu Shaobin.

In the spring of 2018, an agreement was reached between the Russian Ministry for the Development of the Far East and the government of Anhui Province on joint participation in the project. The opening of regular flights between Russia and Anhui province helped the case.

The construction of the Russian Village facilities is carried out at an accelerated pace. Much has already been built, a street consisting of buildings in the Russian architectural style, and a street of Russian cuisine, as well as a concert hall for Russian holidays will also appear there.
