Baogai Three Treasures

Baogai Three Treasures

　　Baogai Town in Hengnan County is located in a mountainous and hilly area with a subtropical monsoon humid climate. It enjoys distinct seasons, mild temperatures, abundant rainfall, fertile land, short cold winters, and long frost-free periods, making it highly suitable for cultivating medicinal herbs such as Siraitia grosvenorii (luo han guo). In early 2007, it was honored as a “Provincial Eco-Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site,” in 2009 it was awarded the title of “Hunan Province’s Town with Beautiful Environment,” and in 2011 it was recognized as a “Famous Tourist Town of Hunan Province.”

　　In recent years, the Party Committee and government of Baogai Town have adhered to the guidance of the Scientific Outlook on Development, vigorously promoting three major initiatives: “Turning Tobacco into Gold,” “Bridging Ginkgo,” and “Boosting Tourism.” To align with tourism development, they have strived to support local businesses in building their own tourism brands, resulting in the creation of Hengnan’s signature tourism product — the “Baogai Three Treasures.”

　　The “Baogai Three Treasures” consist of three agricultural products: ginkgo, organic tea, and Siraitia grosvenorii (luo han guo), all of which are medicinal and health-promoting foods. Ginkgo seeds have health benefits such as delaying aging, beautifying the skin, preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and providing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Ginkgo leaves help lower cholesterol levels in human blood, prevent arteriosclerosis, reduce blood pressure, and lower lipid peroxidation levels. Ginkgo leaf preparations, when used in combination with hypoglycemic drugs, show good therapeutic effects for diabetes and can be used as an adjunct treatment for the disease. Organic tea is produced and processed under a strict quality management system, production control system, and traceability system. No chemically synthesized pesticides, fertilizers, or growth regulators are used during production. Instead, it follows the laws of nature and ecological principles, employing a series of sustainable agricultural techniques to maintain the continuous and stable development of the agro-ecosystem. Siraitia grosvenorii has a sweet taste and cool nature, affecting the lung and large intestine meridians. It helps clear lung heat, moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, reduce swelling and stop bleeding, and promote fluid production to quench thirst. It is commonly used for symptoms such as dry cough due to lung heat, sore throat and loss of voice, and intestinal dryness with constipation. It also shows excellent therapeutic effects for acute tracheitis, acute tonsillitis, pharyngitis, and acute gastritis. “Jin Sheng Ya Hou Bao” (a popular throat lozenge) is a best-selling medicine made using Siraitia grosvenorii as a key ingredient.

　　This brand won the Gold Award at the First Hunan Provincial Tourism Commodity Expo in 2010 and the Bronze Award at the Second Hunan Provincial Tourism Commodity Expo in 2011.
