　　Red Rock Grapes

　　The cultivation of Red Rock Grapes began in the 1970s. Thanks to the unique soil and climatic conditions of Red Rock, the grapes produced here are sweet, juicy, thick-fleshed, thin-skinned, and possess a distinctive honey fragrance. With high commercial value and good economic returns, more and more farmers have taken up grape planting over the years, gradually forming a significant scale that has attracted strong attention from the local government. Starting from 2000, substantial funding has been invested to support the Red Rock Grape industry, leading to rapid development. The current planting area has exceeded 3,000 acres, involving 12 villager groups across four villages: Red Rock, Dazhai, Guanling, and Wangjiaping.

　　To further expand and strengthen the Red Rock Grape base, and guide the industry toward scaled, standardized, and scientific development, as well as to provide comprehensive services throughout the production process—pre-production, during production, and post-harvest—a Red Rock Grape Production and Management Association has been established, and the Red Rock Grape trademark has been registered.

　　In conjunction with new rural development and rural tourism promotion to boost local economic growth, this year the Xiaozhaiba Town Party Committee and government have increased financial input, strengthened infrastructure construction, and enhanced external publicity, undertaking a wide range of initiatives: First, participating in the Guiyang Rural Tourism Promotion Fair held on March 13th, distributing 2,000 promotional brochures; second, full-scale commencement of the Panhong tourist highway project; third, developing and managing a 1,000-meter section of the Red Rock riverbank; fourth, constructing an 110-meter-long sightseeing wooden pergola; fifth, currently building a 3,000-meter-long vine-covered walkway leading into the villages; sixth, leveling and greening over 1,000 square meters of the association’s plaza; seventh, erecting five large promotional characters reading “Red Rock Grape Valley” at the top of Red Rock Mountain; eighth, developing a new core area spanning 150 acres.

　　The production area of Red Rock Grapes covers three towns in Xifeng County, Guizhou Province: Xiaozhaiba Town, Xishan Township, and Luwo Township, encompassing their current administrative regions.
