Don't be fooled by how beautiful this place is now. Previously, it was a deserted riverbank with stones everywhere. The local area turned the wasteland into farmland through centralized land preparation, and the villagers spontaneously picked up the stones from the riverbank. The repaired farmland was planted with lotus flowers, becoming a beautiful scenery along the way.
Shicheng is located at the border of Jiangxi and Fujian provinces. On weekends and holidays, in addition to locals, many tourists from Fujian also come here to enjoy flowers, take photos, and take photos. In order to retain tourists, villagers have also set up farmhouses in the surrounding area and created different styles of homestays. In recent years, through the construction of ecological civilization in rural areas, the local area has created four season rural landscape belts such as spring rapeseed viewing and summer lotus viewing, continuously improving the rural living environment, dredging the river channels, and greening the idle land on the roadside.

In addition to the ornamental lotus flowers, this lotus pond is also planted with contiguous lotus seeds. Some viewers may ask, what is the difference between Zilian and watching lotus flowers? Lotus is a herbaceous plant of the Lotus family, with colors mainly red, pink, and white. Generally speaking, it can be divided into three categories of varieties: lotus root, flower lotus, and seed lotus. Lotus root is a variety that mainly grows lotus roots; Hualien is used for ornamental purposes; Zilian, as the name suggests, is a variety that can harvest lotus seeds. The white lotus planted in Shicheng County has good flowering ability and produces large and plump lotus seeds.
What I am holding in my hand is a white lotus, which is covered in treasures. After the flowers bloom, the lotus seed will continue to expand and eventually mature to produce lotus seeds, which is the most valuable part of white lotus. Lotus whiskers and leaves can be used to make tea, while lotus hearts and stems have certain medicinal value. As a traditional industry in Shicheng County, Bailian has a planting history of more than 1300 years. In order to truly make this industry a prosperous industry for the people, the local government continuously innovates new paths for industrial development and develops many derivatives.
