Its industrial focus on dairy products, brewing, imitation rosewood furniture, building materials, and other sectors has become increasingly distinct. Agriculture features a more rational layout centered on citrus, grapes, and special breeding. In 2003, the total output value of industry and agriculture reached 1.242 billion yuan, with tax contributions to the state totaling 19,060,000 yuan. The developed area of the small town has expanded to 2.52 square kilometers.

The beautiful natural landscape has created unique tourism resources here. The provincial scenic spot — the Great Buddha Temple, built during the Liang Dynasty’s Datong era (504 AD), is located in the north of the town and attracts 200,000 domestic and international visitors annually.

　　Caizhai has a long history and profound cultural heritage, with a large number of well-preserved ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
