Right now is the season for planting spring lotus roots, and the Minqiao Town Ten-Thousand-Mu Hehuadang Scenic Area is vigorously developing lotus root cultivation. At present, the lotus root planting area has exceeded 100,000 mu, and every summer when the lotus flowers bloom, they attract many tourists from all over the country to come sightseeing and admire the lotus. Each year, 150,000 tons of lotus roots can be produced, and this high-efficiency lotus root agriculture has driven local farmers to increase their incomes and become better off.
