famous scenery

Nantianmen village is located in the southernmost part of Linquan county. It is the South Gate of Linquan County, so it is named "Nantianmen". Different from its majestic name, the rural environment of Nantianmen village is gentle and fresh.

In recent years, Nantianmen village has focused on the construction of rural human settlements. With the help of the Municipal Highway Bureau and the correct leadership of the Party committee of Tao Laoxiang, a distinctive and livable rural environment has been gradually established.

Elm, a tree species not unfamiliar to Linquan people, gradually disappeared in the long river of rural development. However, the masses of Nantianmen village seized this "nostalgia" and planted elm varieties in the village. There are luxuriant elms, edible native elms, and fresh and natural golden elms. The interaction of several elms forms a green scale of "keeping nostalgia and memory".

On the relocation site, rows of tall deciduous fir trees form a majestic momentum, showing the people's determination to protect the soil and water. Taolao township is low-lying, especially in the relocation sites, the soil is not easy to seep. Therefore, the selection of planting water-resistant larch, formed a unique green landscape effect.

After many investigations and investigations, the Party committee of Tao Laoxiang carried out depression management with the County Agricultural Committee, which brought new life to the land.

Now, a depression treatment project with an investment of more than 10 million has been successfully completed, and a comprehensive aquaculture area integrating fish, crab, shrimp and other aquaculture has appeared in front of us, which is very exciting.

Zhang Fei, the investor of the project and the director of Qiangwang agricultural science and technology, said that this place has unique advantages and superior natural conditions. After many comparative studies, this place was selected. The government has also given a lot of help, both in water and electricity and in the later environment. When talking about this, Zhang Fei is always full of confidence.
