Hai'an works to combine agriculture, tourism
Tourists pick pitaya at a greenhouse in Yazhou town, Hai'an, Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province, on July 24. In recent years, a Yazhou modern agricultural park has been working to improve the fruit industry and the integration of agriculture and tourism. It has created a new model known as "industry + tourism + poverty alleviation". The town has adopted advanced planting and management techniques to make it possible for tourists to pick and taste tropical fruit such as pitaya, which is expected to help merge local agriculture and tourism and increase farmers' incomes.
