It has 800 mu (about 53.33 hectares) of tea gardens. 100-mu (about 6.67 hectares) tea gardens planted by the village collective in 2023 are expected to be harvested for the first time in spring 2025. 

 

At present, a “water-fertilizer integrated drip irrigation system” has been built in all tea gardens, which has become a major highlight of the facility agriculture and the use of technology to resist drought and ensure harvest in the local area.
