In recent years, the local government has explored ways to combine relic preservation with cultural tourism. In 2023, the Lingjiatan National Archaeological Site Park was officially inaugurated. In 2025, the Lingjiatan Site Museum opened to the public, and has welcomed nearly 200,000 visitors to date.

Lingjiatan-themed cultural and creative products as well as immersive experiences have been developed to help promote the relics site among the public. (Xinhua/Zhang Duan)
