On Nov 28th, workers were sorting the newly picked blonde emperor chrysanthemum in Hongkou Village, Tingsiqiao Town, Xian’an District.

To develop characteristic industries and adjust industrial structures, this town has set up the Wulong Mountain Herb Growing Cooperative, transferring more than 50 mu of land to grow blonde emperor chrysanthemums in Hongkou village, while they also positively promote the local poor households to develop together. It is estimated that around 50 000 jin of fresh flowers can be picked this year, driving 5 poor households to increase their annual income of 10 000 yuan per household.
