Significant Achievements in Rural Construction of Lipu City: Formation of Over 450 ‘One Village, One Product’ Ecological Villages

In recent years, Lipu City has upgraded and improved through the construction of “Beautiful Rural Areas, Happy Rural Areas.” The city’s countryside is picturesque with abundant mountains and water, and its industry is developing well.

Lipu City leverages its stunning mountains and water to create “Lipu Green Mountains,” Yusi Lipu in Mala Town, “Orange Blossoms in Lipu” in Xiuqin Town, and “Dream of Tea Fragrance” rural comprehensive system in Chaotown. Relying on the national AAAA-level scenic spot of Lizhou Bay, it has created 8 contiguous rural revitalization demonstration belts and pastoral complex projects.

To give value to the beautiful scenery entering villages, Lipu City invested 126.2 million yuan in the distinctive construction of 20 rural demonstration points across the city, creating a number of “micro gardens,” “micro vegetable gardens,” and “micro fruit gardens.” The city’s flower and fruit seedling planting reached more than 50,000 acres, with a total output value of 7 billion yuan. Lipu yam, Lipu lotus root, and Lipu sugar orange have annual yields exceeding 500,000 tons, with a total output value of 40 billion yuan.
