Spring brings growth back to plants and trees and the air is filled with aroma of freshly grown tea leaves. More than 1,200 mu (80 ha.) of tribute tea plantation, located at the Wushan Neighborhood, Wangcheng District, Changsha City, is experiencing the peak season of early spring tea picking. In recent years, the local government, based on the tea leaves, has established original ecological tea plantations, vigorously developed rural tourism, and actively promoted deep integration of "agriculture, culture, and tourism". This has increased its popularity and led more villagers to become rich. The photo above shows the vast tribute tea plantation. (Photo/Liu Bin, People's Daily)
