Yingshan, Sichuan: Oil Sunflowers Blossoming into a Scenic Area in the Countryside

On July 4th, I saw in Dengjiaba, Dongsheng Town, Chaoyang Grain and Oil Modern Agricultural Park, Yingshan County, Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, and Jiantong Village, Luoshi Town. Beside the green rice fields, golden oil sunflowers looked like brilliant smiling faces, swaying against the green branches and leaves, forming a golden ocean. The beautiful rural scenery attracted groups of tourists to come and visit.

The magnificent flower sea feels like an oil painting of pastoral scenery, "said Ms. Wen and her friends, who came from the city specifically to wander in the flower fields that are out of sight, enjoying taking photos and videos. According to local villagers, there is a continuous stream of tourists who come here for sightseeing every morning and evening. The eggs, duck eggs, loofah and other agricultural products placed by the villagers on the roadside have become popular sales.

In recent years, Yingshan has been planting sunflower seeds in the core area of the Grain and Oil Modern Agricultural Park for many years. The golden sunflower not only becomes a beautiful scenery in the countryside, but also plays a role in biological control for rice growth. (Yang Hanguo, Wen Jian)
