Abstract Background Although social network is a known determinant of the elderly’s well-being, it is not clear, in urban-rural and age-comparison, what its structural characteristics are and how it works for well-being. The research aims to discuss the features of the elderly’s social network and the social network efficacies on the well-being of older adults in China’s urban and rural areas as well as revealing the urban-rural disparities among the elderly of different age groups. Methods In this study, descriptive statistical analysis and structural equation Modeling (SEM) were used to make a group comparison between the urban and rural elderly of different age groups. All data are quoted from 2014 China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS). The survey adopted the multi-stage probability sampling method, targeting Chinese senior citizens aged 60 and above, the ultimate samples totaled 11,511. Results The social network of the elderly in China feature a “reverse structure” in age sequences: with ageing, family network of the elderly expand while their friend network shrink; also, the expansion scale of the rural elderly’s family network is significantly larger than that of the city’s while the shrinkage scale of their friend network is smaller compared with its urban counterpart. The effect of family network on the rural elderly’s well-being shows a remarkable increase with age. However, there is no noticeable change in urban elderly groups of different ages. Conclusion The social network characteristics of the Chinese elderly are different between different age stages. Namely, the family network and the friend network have the “reverse structure “ in age sequences. Meanwhile, the family network and the friend network have different efficacies on the well-being of the elderly in China, and the differences between urban and rural areas are even more obvious. For rural elderly, family network has very important effects on their well-being. Moreover, With the increase of age, family network’s efficacies increase gradually. For urban elderly, comparatively, family network is just as important as friend network.

Characteristic towns are the continuation and development of the construction of "small towns", and have become an important node of the development of "urban-rural integration". Characteristic tourism town is one of the important models of rural tourism development. It plays an important role in promoting the solution of "Three rural issues", increasing farmers' opportunities for entrepreneurship and employment, improving farmers' income, building a beautiful countryside and finally realizing rural revitalization. The restrictive factors and main problems of the development of characteristic tourism towns in Northern Anhui are: single business model and shallow cultural excavation level. The development foundation is relatively weak, and the industrial products are not closely related. The essence of cultural characteristics is not fully reflected, which needs to be deeply excavated. Through the analysis, the following development ideas and countermeasures of characteristic tourism towns in Northern Anhui are formed: first, give full play to the resources with the most comparative advantages and take the road of characteristic development. Second, make leisure tourism closely related to the characteristic industries and products of small towns. Third, deeply excavate and fully absorb traditional culture, and create a new idea of developing characteristic tourism towns in Northern Anhui with the combination of culture and tourism. Fourth, actively explore the new mode of "Internet plus tourism".

Rural tourism, if strategically developed and managed, can make a substantial positive contribution towards the prosperity of the rural community. The management of the community group as primary stakeholders within a rural tourism development context is essential to enhance the rural collective economy of a region, augmenting the rural appearance, strengthening the rural civilisation construction, reducing the urban-rural gap, and building a cohesive and harmonious community. The primary objective is to examine the community group’s level of involvement in rural tourism development programmes; as well as to establish their level of participation in rural tourism development activities. A survey was undertaken to obtain the quantitative data needed from the community group. The findings show that the involvement of the community group in the decision-making process will assist in the effective implementation of projects without delays and contribute towards the sustainable development of rural tourism. The management of sustainable rural tourism development therefore necessitates that the needs of the community group are considered in the decision-making process and their participation therein. Participation facilitates rational cooperation, strengthens partnerships, builds trust and credibility, empowers the community group, and therefore makes management more effective.
