In the shadow of Mount Fanjing, a citrus miracle is unfolding! 🌄 Hundreds of hectares of golden tangerines now blanket southwest China’s Guizhou Province – a vibrant transformation of once-barren rocky hills. Local farmers hustle daily, plucking the sun-kissed fruits like nature’s hidden treasure. 🧺
Rewind to the ’90s: This area battled severe rocky desertification, threatening livelihoods. Fast-forward to today, thanks to eco-smart initiatives like reforestation and soil revival, over 200 hectares now burst with tangerines, pomelos, and mandarins. 💡 The result? A landscape rebooted from ‘stone wasteland’ to ‘fruit paradise,’ giving farmers a sweet (and sustainable!) paycheck.
Local resident Xiao Li shares: ‘We’re literally turning rocks into gold!’ The harvest fuels markets across regions, proving environmental healing and economic growth can go hand-in-hand. Who knew fighting desertification could taste this good? 🍊✨
