[Diary of the Yangtze River] The Win-Win Road of ＂Environment Friendly＂ in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area
Editor’s Note: Since July 20th, china national radio has sent a number of journalists to set off from Yunnan along the Yangtze River, which lasted for nearly a month, presenting the changing new Yangtze River in all media and from various angles, and interviewing the large-scale theme "Great Rivers Running — — The report from the Yangtze River Economic Belt was launched simultaneously. Voice of China reporters dynamically recorded the people and things they experienced during the interview, and recorded the new changes along the Yangtze River in the form of "Diary of the Yangtze River". Today, the tenth article of the Diary of the Yangtze River is published: The "Environment-friendly" Win-Win Road in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area.
Chongqing, July 30 (Reporter Chen Peng Guan Xin) According to the Voice of China, "News Horizon" reported that the passenger ship boarded at Chongqing Port Terminal 8 and woke up, and the passenger ship docked at Wanzhou Port Passenger Terminal. Wanzhou District, located in the northeast of Chongqing, is located in the heart of the Three Gorges reservoir area and is the regional central city of Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration along the Yangtze River. During the flood season of the Yangtze River, the number of floating objects on the Wanzhou River increased, and mechanized professional drifting boats were drifting on the river.
After driving along the winding mountain road for more than an hour, the reporter and his party came to Wanzhou National Agricultural Park.
In the National Agricultural Park, cicadas are singing one after another. This is the first national agricultural park created in Chongqing, with a construction scope of 228 kilometers, covering 7 towns and 46 administrative villages in Wanzhou District. Chongqing should build a rural tourism complex and promote the transformation and development of agriculture and rural areas.
Lu Changkun, chairman of Wanzhou Tongxin Modern Agriculture Development Co., Ltd., is watering strawberry seedlings in a smart greenhouse. He said: "This is just like raising a child. In fact, it will repay you as you give."
Tongxin Vegetable Grand View Garden, carefully managed by Lu Changkun, covers an area of more than 1,000 mu. Here, vegetables that are common in the market at ordinary times "live" in the "high-rise" of pipelines with step-by-step and pot-frame cultivation, and like house numbers, they are cultivated by aerosol or water mist. According to him, aerosol cultivation is a cultivation mode. After water is atomized by high pressure, plants absorb nutrients in the air, and more than 80% of the fertilizer they fertilize will be absorbed. This cultivation mode reduces the amount of fertilizer and non-point source pollution at the same time.
In Wanzhou National Agricultural Park, modern agriculture like this is being explored and experimented boldly. Not far from Lu Changkun’s vegetable garden, a large-scale cash crop attracted reporters. It was called Rose Orange. This is a new variety introduced from Italy, and it is planted on a large scale as a leading industry in the local area.
Wang Xiaowei, deputy stationmaster of the Fruit Tree Station in Wanzhou District, said that in the future, they will develop the rose orange to 200,000 mu with an output of 300,000 tons. "This is also called a geographical indication product, which is too closely related to our climate."
The local people not only see the economic value, but also the ecological value from this cash crop. Wang Xiaowei told reporters that in citrus cultivation, they used organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer, which reduced non-point source pollution. Compared with field crops, the amount of pesticides and chemical fertilizers used also decreased, which was a contribution to ecology. From 2010 to now, 80,000 mu of rose orange has been developed along the Yangtze River, which has improved the forest coverage.
Ecological and industrial win-win, this "environment-friendly" planting method is changing the agricultural face of the Three Gorges reservoir area. In Panlong Community of Yunyang County, the local area has also found a green development path through citrus planting. On the south bank of the Yangtze River in Yunyang County, more than 2,000 acres of citrus orchards have built a green barrier.

Xiang Guiping, director of Yunyang Forestry Bureau, said that economic forests can also play the role of ecological protection, plant fruit trees, improve forest coverage and improve the ecological environment, and at the same time increase their income.
At the end of the interview in Yunyang County, it suddenly rained cats and dogs. After the rain, a rainbow floated in the air, which surprised the reporter and his party. At dusk, the reporters returned to the passenger ship to prepare for the next stop — — Wushan county.
