Yangshan Watercress

Yangshan Watercress

　　Gurgling mountain spring water and endless stretches of lush green watercress. This is what reporters saw at the watercress planting base in Dalang Village, Dalang Town, Yangshan County. On September 27, reporters visited the grassroots level and came to the watercress planting base in Dalang Village. According to officials from the Yangshan County Agriculture Bureau, Yangshan is a typical limestone mountainous area with an exceptionally superior natural environment, featuring significant vertical temperature differences due to its elevation ranging from 50 meters to over 1,900 meters. This creates a climate characterized by “no intense summer heat and different weather within ten miles,” making it suitable for watercress cultivation. The over 300-acre watercress planting base before you was invested in and built by local growers using a “company + cooperative + farmer” development model.
