Hailaer’s vegetable supply in winter heavily relies on other planting areas because the city is located in a frigid zone. These vegetables, with high price and poor variety, can not meet the demands of its residents.

Since 2013, the city has invested more than 200 million yuan ($32.57 million) and planned a three-phase construction project with an area of 6,000 mu (4 million square meters), 3,000 ordinary greenhouses and 300 heliogreenhouses.

Now, the city is home to 70 heligreenhouses and 500 ordinary greenhouses, which are preparing for a harvest. Some of the greenhouse vegetables have come into the market.
