Abstract: Culture is never static. In modern society, Chinese rural areas are constantly intertwined and dislocated in the processes of traditional culture and modern civilization, involving the equitable and mutually beneficial relationship between people and natural resources and the reconstruction of regional cultural genres in specific periods. The rural humanities and natural resources are important carriers of cultural services. Therefore, research on experiential learning education is important for realizing local cultural revitalization. The efforts of revitalization and renewal of cultural services in rural ecosystems can not only inherit traditional culture, but also promote ecological protection, enhance villagers’ scientific literacy, and realize a harmony between humans and nature. This paper takes Daheping Village in the Hunan Province as an example, combining the ideas of natural education and landscape thinking to explore new ways to activate and enhance the value of rural cultural services from the perspectives of cultural connotations, spatial patterns, basic facilities, and route design. This study provides a new practical guidance paradigm for rural cultural revitalization and future human settlement improvement.
