Liumin Ecological Farm

Liumin Ecological Farm

Liumin Ecological Farm is a national AAA-level tourist attraction and a patriotic education base.

Liumin Ecological Farm is located in Daxing County in the southeastern suburbs of Beijing, covering a total land area of 2,120 mu, including 1,650 mu of arable land. The village lies on the alluvial plain of the Yongding River, within an area covered by Quaternary deposits. It borders Fenghe River to the south and Fenggang River to the north. The terrain is relatively low, with abundant underground water sources. The groundwater level remains around 1.5 meters year-round, but can drop to 5 meters during severe droughts, though it recovers quickly, making surface water extraction relatively convenient.

Daxing’s Liumin, named one of the United Nations’ Global 500 Roll of Honour for Environmental Achievement, is accelerating the development of “Green & Sweet Tourism” to generate “Golden Tax Revenue.”

On June 5, 1987, Liumin was designated by the United Nations Environment Programme as one of the Global 500 Roll of Honour for Environmental Achievement. After decades of ecological agriculture development, Liumin’s distinctive “Green & Sweet Tourism” has become a new growth point in economic development, effectively boosting local tax revenues. To date, the Daxing District Local Taxation Bureau has collected over 500 million yuan in local taxes, completing last year’s annual target and setting a historical record for the same period.

Liumin Ecological Farm was among the first rural areas in the suburbs of Beijing to achieve the status of a “ton-grain village” and a “billion-yuan village.” Today, the farm has developed an agro-ecosystem centered around biogas, integrating agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, and fisheries. This has driven the accelerated growth of “Green & Sweet Tourism” centered on biogas utilization. Through law-based administration, online tax filing, tax law awareness campaigns, and networking events for tax officers, the Daxing District Local Taxation Bureau has leveraged taxation as a lever to regulate and boost economic development, providing strong momentum for the growth of “Green & Sweet Tourism” in Daxing. By cultivating and supporting this regionally distinctive tourism brand, the bureau has enhanced its intangible value, effectively driving the rapid development of Daxing’s tourism and related industries, and generating “Golden Tax Revenue” for the district.

Although not large in size, Liumin Ecological Farm has developed comprehensive infrastructure through years of village and town construction. Transportation and telecommunications are well-developed, offering a favorable investment environment.

Through long-term ecological agriculture development, Liumin has not only promoted economic growth but also significantly improved its ecological environment. Chinese and foreign visitors come to tour and study here in an endless stream, with an estimated 40,000 visitors each year. The main reason is that Liumin has taken a development path distinct from that of ordinary rural areas. Its ecological focus has become a major feature, exerting wide influence and gaining national recognition, attracting attention from leaders at all levels. Senior officials such as Li Peng, Wei Jianxing, Li Qiyuan, and others have visited Liumin for inspection.
