Shuijinwo Bayberry

　　The Shuijinwo Bayberry Base in Chengguan Town, a specialty of Yizhang, is located in Shuijinwo Village, Chengguan Town, about 11 kilometers from the county seat. The village enjoys unique climatic conditions and abundant mountain resources. The bayberries produced here are large in size, dark purple to black in appearance, and have a sweet yet slightly tangy taste, offering a distinctive flavor that makes them highly popular. This base was developed and constructed under the leadership of local residents, with guidance from the government and the village committee. Currently, the bayberry planting area spans 5,514 mu, with long-term plans to expand cultivation to 10,000 mu, aiming to establish a 10,000-mu bayberry production base in the county. In 2007, the base yielded over 1,200 tons of bayberries, generating a production value of more than 20 million yuan, with per capita income from bayberries reaching over 10,000 yuan. Bayberries have brought substantial economic benefits to local residents and have also significantly boosted their enthusiasm for bayberry cultivation.
