Tips

culture
农家乐 boomed in China from the 2000s as a weekend escape for urban families: villagers convert their courtyards into restaurants and B&Bs offering home-style meals, fishing, fruit-picking, and mahjong. It's the Chinese counterpart to Italian agriturismo.
memory
Literal break-down 'farmer-family-fun' captures the marketing perfectly — eat at the 农家 (farmer's home) and enjoy (joy / leisure).
