Zhuanglang Terrace Scenic Spot

Zhuanglang County, located in the west of Liupan Mountain, is one of the 18 Arid Counties in Gansu Province.

"Zhuanglang County annals" written by Wanli of Ming Dynasty: "among the mountains, living in a narrow area, the fields are not clear, the mountains are not forested, the rain is less and dry, the rain is more and cold, once the early frost occurs, the autumn trees wither, and the fruits, vegetables, mulberry and hemp are not produced." it was once a famous "Wuzhi county". In 1964, under the guidance of "learning from Dazhai village in agriculture", Zhuanglang people started the construction of terraces in Zhuanglang County.

After more than 50 years of unremitting efforts, the farmland, forest, roads and canals in Zhuanglang County are now matched. A new scene of "Seabuckthorn on the top of the hill, terraced fields around the hillside, locust on the bottom of the ditch, dam and reservoir on the ditch, and road network" has emerged in the one million mu terraced fields. Wheat, flax, whole film corn, and whole film potato have been planted in the terraced fields, and field water cellars have been built, and high-quality fruits and vegetables have grown.

Zhuanglang terraces are large-scale and majestic, with layers of terraces winding from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles.

Zhuanglang terrace is the perfect embodiment of farming culture and Zhuanglang spirit. One million mu terraced fields in Zhuanglang is a miracle for the industrious Zhuanglang people to understand nature, transform nature and turn the bad natural ecology into the good agricultural ecology with agricultural cultivation as the core, which is scientific and practical.

"In the long-term construction of terraced fields, the spirit of terraced fields, that is, Zhuanglang spirit, is not only a perfect combination of terraced fields landscape and Zhuanglang spirit culture, but also an unparalleled history of hard work and entrepreneurship that has changed the world and shocked the world. It can be said that Zhuanglang's terracing project is a far-reaching theory of agricultural civilization, a vast history of building terraced Great Wall, a magnificent pastoral painting, an ingenious earth sculpture, and an educational base for future generations. It has irreplaceable research, protection and excavation value. "
