The base, which was rebuilt from an abandoned fireworks workshop, can produce two batches of  Lingzhi mushrooms a year. In recent years, the town has actively promoted industrial transformation and upgrading while eliminating backward production capacity of the fireworks industry. It has guided nearly 10 fireworks enterprises or work areas in using waste plants and other resources to develop such business as planting, breeding, storage, and processing of agricultural products, building materials, and auxiliary fireworks materials.
