Each season has its own flavor, and mulberries are a sweet taste that belongs to spring. In the past few days, the mulberries in Lychee Bend Village, Yuelai Town, Shizhong District have matured one after another, attracting many tourists to come to pick and experience the pastoral life.
Recently, the reporter walked into the lush orchard, facing the sun, the purple-red mulberry fruit exudes an attractive luster in the emerald green branches and leaves, and the sweet smell arouses the excitement of the taste buds. "I heard that there is a mulberry picking garden here in Lychee Bay, so I brought my lover and relatives and friends to pick them today. There are many varieties here, and the scenery is also very good. Mr. Huang, a tourist, said happily to reporters.
The villagers of Lizhiwan Village have been planting mulberries for quite a few years, and most of the planting varieties are black fruit mulberry and long mulberry, and one mu of mulberry can bring nearly 10,000 yuan of income. Today, more than 20 families have been formed in the village, and the mulberry area has reached about 70 acres. This year, in order to help the villagers do a good job in sales and strengthen unified management, the local village cadres formulated a unified identification sign for the villagers' mulberry orchards, publicized and promoted them in the form of agricultural information, set up mulberry picking guidance service points, and arranged special duty personnel and volunteers to provide services for tourists. "This year, our mulberry picking season starts from April 10th to May 5th, and in order to give tourists a better picking experience, we not only arrange sightseeing buses, but also encourage farmers to become tour guides and take everyone to experience the fun of picking in the fields. Huang Chong, deputy director of the Lychee Bend Village Villagers' Committee, said.
In recent years, Yuelai Town has taken the construction of Hemei countryside as the background, taken the tourism development of the Pingqiang Three Gorges as an opportunity, and vigorously developed rural tourism formats such as farmhouse, vegetable and fruit picking, ecological tourism, outdoor cycling, and special food according to local conditions. "In the next step, we will continue to deepen the integrated development model of agriculture, culture and tourism, take the development of characteristic lychee industry as the 'ballast stone', and gradually form a vivid situation with fruit picking as the core, 'one industry drives three industries', and 'tourism promotes agriculture', so as to provide Yuelai practice for the city's 'three rural' work and provide citizens and friends with a good place for weekend leisure." Peng Langyan, Secretary of the Party Committee of Yuelai Town, said.
