Chongkan Rapeseed

Chongkan Rapeseed

　　Tongnan’s rapeseed flowers are renowned nationwide. The current rapeseed planting area in Tongnan County has reached 300,000 mu, of which over 30,000 mu are planted in the core area of Chongkan, featuring more than 50 varieties of rapeseed. At the same time, relevant departments have also planted rapeseed along the entire stretch from the Tongnan Interchange on the Chongqing-Suining Expressway to Shuangjiang Intersection and then to Chongkan—this area has now formed a cohesive landscape of blooming rapeseed flowers. Chongkan rapeseed is a high-quality, pollution-free commercial product. More importantly, the rapeseed oil pressed from this variety is exceptionally fragrant—its aroma can be detected over a kilometer away from the oil mill—and is referred to by local farmers as “fragrant rapeseed oil” or “local rapeseed oil.”
