Recently, the tea garden of Tonghua Village, Zhaozhuang Township, Lincheng County, Hebei Province, deep in the Taihang Mountains, ushered in the tea picking season. In 2012, local tea farmers transplanted Hangzhou Longjing tea trees to the local area, realizing "southern tea and northern planting", and the products sold well in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanxi and other places. The tea industry has added more than 200 jobs to the surrounding villages. In recent years, Lincheng County has continued to promote the "South Tea and North Planting", which not only increases jobs, but also drives tourism income and creates a new way for the local people to get rich.
