In　order　to　propagandize　the　fruits　of　the　plan　in　the　rural　communities　vividly　and　provide　visual　tools　for　the　management　of　the　layout　information　in　the　rural　communities,　this　paper　puts　forward　a　new　method　to　realize　the　interactive　Virtual　Wandering　System　in　the　Rural　Community　based　on　VRML　(Virtual　Reality　Modeling　Language).　In　this　method,　the　establishment　of　the　virtual　scenes　of　the　rural　community　includes　two　processes:　One　is　the　process　of　modeling　the　layout　of　the　rural　community,　the　other　is　the　process　of　representing　the　texture　data　and　leveled　DEM　(Digital　Elevation　Model)　data　based　on　VRML.　The　interactive　operations　of　the　virtual　scenes,　such　as　positioning　in　the　scenes　and　spatial　distance　analysis,　were　also　implemented　based　on　the　two　processes.　The　first　process　is　to　set　up　the　entities　(for　instance　buildings,　trees)　in　the　community　as　the　anchors　with　coordinates　and　attributes　in　the　scenes.　The　other　is　to　operate　the　anchors　by　Java　and　VRML.　The　method　was　applied　to　the　virtual　wandering　system　of　Bashimudi　village　in　Fangshan　District　of　Beijing.　The　practical　effect　demonstrates　that　the　system　can　glibly　run　at　the　network　with　the　bandwidth　of　100　kB　and　can　respond　to　all　kinds　of　requests　from　users　in　time.　The　system　is　suitable　for　the　villages　around　the　metropolis.
