Tourism drive helps to ease poverty in Qinghai

A revamp of infrastructure at local flower tourism sites in Menyuan Hui Autonomous County in Northwest China's Qinghai province is helping lift the income of households in the poverty-stricken region.

Founded in 2014, Qinghai Huahai Tourism Development Co Ltd invested 31.1 million yuan ($4.7 million) on improving the overall infrastructure of the cole flower field at Menyuan, a national 4A-level scenic area in Qinghai.

By September 2016, the company had invested a total of 66.3 million yuan on completing the construction of two tourism spots, offering a one-stop experience for sightseeing, catering and entertainment.
