Dogwood in full bloom

Photo taken on March 20 shows the charming scenery in the hinterland of Funiu Mountain located in Dongpingvillage, Taipingtown, Xixiacounty, Nanyang city of Central China's Henan province during the early spring, with dogwood blooming and mountains and valley sturning entirely golden. In recent years, farmers in Xixia County have been actively developing ecological agriculture, relying on local ecological resources. They have planted 220,000 mu (1 mu equals about 666 square meters) of dogwood, yielding an annual output of 4,000 tons. That initiative has emerged as a new avenue for boosting income and fostering prosperity among local farmers. (Text: Henan Daily Photo: Wang Zheng)
