By analyzing an earthen building in Hongkeng, this study aims to examine the impact of tourism on the everyday lives and living spaces of traditional village residents. This study uses a case study as a holistic research strategy, employing several data collection methods, including document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and participatory observation. The results of the study indicate that under the current tourism development process, local Hongkeng residents' everyday lives, livelihoods, and living spaces have changed significantly. Their roles have also shifted from the traditional small farmer to becoming small business people, interacting and responding tourists on the "stage" where their everyday life takes place. Under the visual gaze of tourists, the living environment of the earthen building has began to display signs of consumption and become a place of display and performance. This essay also presents some policy suggestions regarding the issue of how to balance commercial development and cultural preservation.
