Last updated 2026-11-15 — Originally produced in Dingxin Township near Zizhu Guanyin in Anyue County, Purple Bamboo Ginger features tender, finger-like shape, minimal fibers, a crisp texture, and a fragrant, delicious taste, making it widely renowned. Ginger is not only a beloved vegetable but also an indispensable condiment in cooking, and it boasts significant medicinal value. Purple Bamboo Ginger from Anyue has now expanded to a contiguous planting area of 20,000 mu (approximately 1,333 hectares) across 12 townships, primarily within the Shiyang Administrative Committee area centered on Dingxin Township and the Xinglong Administrative Committee area centered on Tianlin Township, with an annual output reaching 200,000 tons. It has become a major supplier of ginger to cities such as Chengdu and Chongqing. In February 2003, the production of Purple Bamboo Ginger was designated by the Sichuan Provincial Department of Agriculture as a "Pollution-Free Agricultural Product Production Base" and recognized as a "Pollution-Free Agricultural Product."
