Shuzheng Ginseng

　　The artificial cultivation of ginseng in Fusong County dates back to the first year of the Longqing era during the Ming Dynasty, boasting a history of 440 years. In 1995, it was designated by the state as the “Hometown of Chinese Ginseng,” ranking first among the “Hundred Specialties” named at that time. It is home to Asia’s largest ginseng trading market—the Wanliang Changbai Mountain Ginseng Market, which covers an area of 54,000 square meters. The market attracts and supports the trade of ginseng produced across a wide region, from Huanren and Xinbin in Liaoning in the west, to Hunchun in Yanbian in the east, and to the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains in Heilongjiang in the north. Its sales network spans over 30 countries and regions including the United States, Canada, Singapore, Japan, and Hong Kong.
