Wudang district in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, will make strong efforts to develop high-efficiency mountainous agriculture and further improve its agricultural industry foundation.

Measures aimed at expanding the planting industry scale, improving industrial chains, advancing the integrated development of agriculture and tourism and pushing forward agricultural brand construction will be taken in the coming year.

Wudang will promote the construction of large-scale, standardized and facility-based planting bases for vegetables and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of 120,000 mu of orchards and 12,000 mu of tea gardens.

By 2025, the stable vegetable planting area in the district should be more than 95,000 mu and the output should be more than 125,000 metric tons.

During the same period, Wudang should produce 2 million sticks of edible mushrooms weighing more than 2,000 tons.

In addition to production, Wudang will attach great importance to boosting primary and deep processing and accelerating the construction of cold chain systems.

Additionally, Wudang will promote the in-depth integration of industries such as agricultural tourism and culture, develop new industries such as countryside homestays, sports and health care, and rural vacations, build mid-to-high-end boutique homestays, develop and create boutique routes for leisure agriculture and rural tourism, and build a national summer resort.

By 2025, Wudang will seek to build two to three national key rural tourism villages and three to four provincial key rural tourism villages.
