Photos taken on July 29 show volunteers harvesting watermelons in Zhaihou Village, Jinping Town, Jiahe County.
Now, over 300 mu (20 hectares) of alpine watermelons in the village are ripe, waiting for the harvest. The local Party members and volunteers have been organized to help farmers pick watermelons for sales.
In recent years, the village has fully utilized the superior alpine environment and guided villagers to develop distinctive agricultural industries like tribute rice, watermelon, and tea, which has helped increase villagers’ income.
