In the deep autumn, a good harvest of ginger brings joy to Zhucheng city of Weifang city in Shandong province. The fresh scent of ginger carried by the fragrant soil is stimulating.

Farmers are busy harvesting mature ginger, turning, leafing, bucketing, transporting, and storing them in wells. The golden and plump ginger and the joy of the farmers' harvest paint an everywhere ebullient scene of a bountiful harvest.

In recent years, Zhucheng city has proactively leveraged its resource advantages to accelerate the restructuring of cultivation patterns. With a strategic emphasis on market demand, the city has pursued the development of large-scale crop cultivation, specialty industry cultivation, eco-tourism, and sightseeing agriculture tailored to local conditions. These strategic initiatives have proven instrumental in enhancing agricultural efficiency and increasing the income of local farmers. (Edited by Huang Junyao)
