Chongqing Ecological Agriculture Grand View Garden

　　The Chongqing Ecological Agriculture Demonstration Zone is a provincial-level demonstration area. Since June 2000, Nanchuan has been developing the "Chongqing Ecological Agriculture Grand View Garden" and the "Modern Agriculture Exhibition Area" in its northern section. On February 21, 2009, the Chongqing Municipal Government officially designated this area as the "Ecological Agriculture Demonstration Zone." It boasts four prestigious titles: two national designations — National Modern Agriculture Demonstration Zone and National Leisure Agriculture & Rural Tourism Demonstration Zone — and two provincial ones — Chongqing Ecological Agriculture Demonstration Zone and Chongqing Urban-Rural Integration Concentrated Demonstration Zone.

　　The Ecological Grand View Garden is the largest and most beautiful rural expanse on the outskirts of Chongqing’s metropolis. Spanning 280 square kilometers, it features strong resource and environmental carrying capacity; three expressways run through the area, just a 20-minute drive from downtown Chongqing; it has a forest coverage rate of 51%, an average elevation of 740 meters, and nearly 20,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic meter.

　　The Ecological Grand View Garden serves as a testing ground for the transformation of Chongqing’s agriculture, rural areas, and farmers (the “three rural issues”) and for integrated urban-rural development. Over 50 policy projects at various levels of Chongqing Municipality support the park’s construction and growth. Authorities at all levels in Nanchuan jointly establish demonstration projects, working together to build the zone into a modern agricultural demonstration park integrating organic, ecological, green, sightseeing, leisure, and entertainment functions, a headquarters base for leading agricultural industrialization enterprises, and an urban-rural integration demonstration area.

　　The Ecological Grand View Garden is fertile ground where you reap what you sow — an investment hotspot. It offers land: 140,000 mu of arable land, 130,000 mu of sloping land, and 100,000 mu of forested land; it has planning and infrastructure, with over 40 plans already completed and the functional layout largely established; it benefits from technology, having established close cooperative ties with more than 10 research institutions; and it embraces an ethos of being business-friendly, investor-welcoming, and globally minded, increasingly becoming an open highland.
