During a visit to the trial site of building new socialist countryside in Baitu Town, the reporters had a close look at Tangzhuan Village, known for its characteristic agriculture.

More than 500 households in the village make a living by growing well-bred grapes, strawberries, cherries, and so on. Zhang Xiaohu Vineyard is among the most successful and reputed.
