　　Chao Tian Tian Ma is one of the traditional specialty products of Chao Tian District, renowned for its abundant wild supply, high value, and excellent quality. Chao Tian District features mountainous terrain and vast land with rich forest resources. The domestication and cultivation of wild Tian Ma in Chao Tian has a long history—the earliest scientific research on transitioning wild Tian Ma to cultivated farming was conducted in the Zengjia Mountain area of Chao Tian, which once won a third prize for scientific and technological progress. Chao Tian’s uniquely favorable climate and geographical conditions offer an optimal environment for Tian Ma cultivation. Up to 85% of the district’s farming households have a tradition of growing Tian Ma, leading to extensive cultivation.
