In the vibrant city of Lijiang within the Chinese mainland’s Yunnan Province, innovation meets tradition at the Lijiang Modern Flower Industrial Park. This groundbreaking hub is a shining example of how rural communities are embracing smart, high-tech solutions to drive local development.
Utilizing an intelligent production system and pioneering soilless cultivation methods, the park’s greenhouses now boast an 85% integration rate of water and fertilizer irrigation. These modern techniques are transforming flower farming into both a profitable and joyful venture for over 300 local workers.
Thanks to its proximity to Lijiang Airport, fresh-cut roses and calla lilies are delivered to major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou within just 36 hours. Exports also reach overseas markets in Japan, Vietnam, and Russia, demonstrating a seamless fusion of quality production and speedy logistics.
During a recent visit, Chinese President Xi Jinping engaged with villagers and technicians, inquiring about the diverse flower varieties, market sales, and income growth generated by the park. Villagers shared that their average monthly earnings exceed 4,000 yuan—with peak seasons bringing in over 7,000 yuan—all while finding true joy in their work.
With a warm smile, President Xi remarked, "Your endeavor is thriving and aligns with the development path of modern agriculture. May your lives be as beautiful as flowers." This uplifting message reinforces the power of locally tailored, high-quality rural development that combines tradition with cutting-edge technology. 🌸🚀
