Agriculture boosts ecotourism, one part investment yields three parts harvest
Having just graduated from university last year, Xiao Liu came alone to work in Zhongshan. New to the place with few friends, she often stayed at home and did not know much about the city where she worked, not even what local specialties it had. This spring, Xiao Liu joined a one-day tour organized by her workplace, visiting the Zhan Garden in the South District and also going to the nearby Xujing Agricultural Science and Technology Park to pick fruit and have a barbecue. Only then did she discover that so many delicious fruits are produced in Zhongshan's orchards, and that this place not only has a beautiful urban environment but also has countryside with an even more distinctive charm. Her colleague Sister Mei told her that this orchard in the South District is not far from the city center, and that she also often invites friends and brings her children here to play, where they can eat delicious, pollution-free fruit and let the children get close to nature.
