Honeysuckle become source of wealth for farmers of Yuncheng

On May 17th, an early summer day sees the arrival of the “Grain Full”, one of the 24th solar terms of the lunar calendar. Tens of thousands of acres of honeysuckle in towns such as Sanquan and Zezhang in Xinjiang County, Yuncheng City usher in the harvest.
The bustling harvest season brings forth a surge in earnings. Flower farmers are seizing the opportunity to harvest the fragrant honeysuckle in the blooming sea of flowers, creating a beautiful modern farming painting.

In recent years, the local government has implemented a special strategy to promote rural revitalization and prosperity. As part of this initiative, people have actively engaged in cultivating various flowers, including honeysuckle, roses, chrysanthemums, peonies, saffron, and nectarine. These flowers not only serve as decorative elements but also possess medicinal properties, while the cultivation of fruits further contributes to the overall development of agriculture. From spring to winter, fields and greenhouses are brimming with blossoms. These “flowers of happiness” bring income and prosperity to farmers, and become the main attractions of agricultural and cultural tourism festivals. The flower plantation program is greatly cherished and received by local people.
