The paper takes 282 beautiful villages announced in Chizhou City as the research object, and uses research methods such as average nearest neighbor analysis, kernel density analysis, and buffer zone analysis to study the spatial distribution pattern and influencing factors of beautiful villages in Chizhou City. The research results indicate that: (1) from 2018 to 2020, the number of beautiful villages in Chizhou City has been increasing year by year, and the growth rate has gradually stabilized; (2) The overall spatial distribution pattern of beautiful rural areas in Chizhou City shows significant agglomeration characteristics, with some exhibiting random distribution characteristics, with overall large agglomeration and some small agglomeration; (3) The results of kernel density analysis indicate that the overall development of beautiful rural areas in Chizhou City is characterized by multi-core imbalance, and the distribution of hotspot density in each county and district is uneven. Based on the analysis results, the beautiful countryside in Chizhou City can be divided into three development zones: the multi-core unbalanced development zone in Guichi District, Qingyang County in the northeast, the multi-core balanced development zone in Dongzhi County in the west, and the single core balanced development zone in Shitai County in the south. (4) The influencing factors of the spatial distribution pattern of beautiful rural areas in Chizhou City mainly include natural geographical slope orientation, elevation, hydrological system, transportation location, government policies, etc. At the same time, suggestions are put forward for the construction of beautiful rural areas, providing a basis for the optimization of relevant policies and voluntary and reasonable allocation.
