In 2018, Qianjiang District utilized the unique ecological environment and geographical advantages of Yuyongshan to implement rural land remediation. At the same time, with ‘crisp red plum’ bases, farming roads and sightseeing roads, it was built into an ecological agricultural sightseeing garden and rural tourism homestay place in the city-rural combination area.

Rural homestays are under construction.
It is reported that local villagers have also developed goldenflower and silverflower crops in accordance with local conditions to meet the sightseeing needs of tourists and also meet the needs of villagers’ production and life. This effectively achieves agricultural tourism integration, promoting the development of rural tourism and rural industrial revitalization.
