Water Terrace Verdant Hills

　　Shuitai Town is located in the eastern part of Xinxing County, covering an area of approximately 70 square kilometers and situated about 30 kilometers from the county seat. It is an agriculturally zoned development area of Xinxing County and home to a contiguous fruit base spanning tens of thousands of acres. The hills in Shuitai are low and gently sloped, with loose soil that is highly conducive to fruit cultivation. Traditionally, the area has grown crops such as watermelon, banana, and citrus. In recent years, the town government has attracted investment to develop the land in contiguous plots. To date, over 1.1 million lychee and longan trees have been planted. In early spring, the fragrance of blossoms fills the town; in early summer, watermelons are everywhere; in midsummer, red lychees blaze like fire; in early autumn, longan fruits hang abundantly on the branches; and by October, citrus orchards glow golden under the sun. The town government has built an Agricultural Viewing Pavilion atop the hills. From the pavilion, visitors can take in the sweeping view of undulating green hills interspersed with reservoirs holding crystal-clear waters, resembling endless rolling waves, with vast expanses of lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. The establishment of the Wenshi Group’s grandparent stock pig farm and the rear production base for flower cultivation and breeding in the Pearl River Delta region have helped shape Shuitai Town into an agro-tourism destination integrating research, production, and tourism. It has become a renowned demonstration zone for high-yield, high-quality, and high-efficiency agriculture in Guangdong Province. The site has been visited by leaders including a member of the Politburo Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee, as well as numerous experts, scholars, and members of the general public who come to sightsee.
