　　  Zengjia Mountain is located in a high-altitude, cold mountainous region with an average elevation of over 1,000 meters. It administers six townships and one town, featuring flat terrain, fertile soil, and a humid climate, which contribute to the production of high-quality, green, and pollution-free vegetables. The development of the vegetable industry dates back to 2001. After ten years of dedicated effort, a successful path for developing the vegetable industry in high-altitude mountainous regions has been forged. According to statistics from the agricultural department, in 2011, the vegetable planting area on Zengjia Mountain reached 150,000 mu (approximately 10,000 hectares), with a total output of 450,000 tons. The per capita income from vegetable farming amounted to 5,500 yuan, accounting for 70% of the local farmers' per capita net income. Zengjia Mountain has become the largest green vegetable base in the Sichuan-Shaanxi-Gansu-Chongqing region and the largest "vegetable basket" in northern Sichuan. Kang Lan (Chinese Cabbage) from Zengjia Mountain has emerged as one of the main vegetable products in the area.
