The fields are wheat, rape and corn, the hillsides are full of peach trees, and there are cherries and blueberries in the greenhouse ... In the suburbs of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, a 10-minute drive from Liangzhu Ancient City Ruins Park, a newly reclaimed farm is hidden in the group Among the mountains.

This farm is a bit special. It is not farmers who are busy cultivating here, but groups of tourists from the city.
During the "May Day", Nanshan Kaixin Farm in Pingyao Town, Yuhang, Hangzhou welcomed hundreds of families. The parking lot has long been "cars full", and there are parent-child combinations carrying small baskets rushing up the hill.

On a piece of farmland, 11-year-old Hu Shuoning "contracted" two pieces of land. "Uncle Farmer, how do you plant this eggplant?" "I teach you to choose a loose spot first, and then add a little fertile soil to it. After it is leveled, it will be a seedbed, and then you can sow it. Move lightly. One point, you can't hurt the seed. "
Watching her daughter seriously ask the farm master to plant vegetables, father Hu Chenglei was busy with the sidelines. The little daughter on the side also carefully observed the "trends" in the field, and learned about the types of vegetables with the grandparents on the side.

"It's really difficult to grow vegetables, but working with her daughter is particularly rewarding." Hu Chenglei said with a smile. "The holiday is overcrowded in the scenic area, and the children can't idle at home. In fact," growing vegetables "is quite new, to her In general, participating in labor is a process of combining learning and playing, and we are also learning the process of accompanying her. "
Farm leader Qian Haishan introduced that the entire farm has more than 1,600 acres, and this time 200 acres of land were used as "Happy Farm". In the first phase, a total of 200 pieces of land were launched, each with a size of 50 square meters, which can be claimed by families, kindergartens, and collectives. After the rent is paid, the land can be used for one year.

"Working tools can be brought by yourself or rented on the farm. Anyway, you can do it yourself. If you can't, you can entrust the farm master to help. For children, it is more important to experience the fun of the field." Qian Haishan said.
Mo Jianhang, director of the Regional Development Office of Pingyao Town, said that in the past, the farms were mostly "sown-sell" models, and now the experiential farms can include rich links such as vegetable growing, fruit picking, tea picking, and rice cutting. "Combining agriculture with research tourism and labor education is a new attempt and change. While driving the popularity of rural tourism, it also increases income for farmers."
When ordinary leisure sightseeing can no longer meet the needs of tourists, the deep rural labor experience tour ushered in a spring. Let the pastoral "agriculture" become a new trend of tourism, not alone in Zhejiang.

Entering the "Hengshe Garden" of the succulent farm in Anjilujia Village, Zhejiang Province, hundreds of succulent varieties have different shapes, and they have come to a colorful "succulent world". "Our farm not only sells succulent meat, but also welcomes visitors to experience the fun of growing succulent meat." Song Yuexiang, the host, said that during the "May Day" tourists are "full" every day, and it is too busy to call on the whole family.
"We have 18 family farms here, and each farm has different farming activities, fruit and vegetable picking, white tea frying, succulent breeding ... People play the first and want to go to the second." Secretary of the Lujia Village Party Committee Zhu Renbin said, "For urban tourists, diversifying the rural experience is our biggest attraction. For villages, the primary industry and the tertiary industry are more closely integrated, and the integration of farming and tourism has found a new direction. "
Involving urban people in farm life is not a "hunt for wonder", or a trend of rural tourism that returns to its original nature with the development of the times. Good landscape development of ecotourism is the first opportunity, but the pastoral life is not only "poetic", but also has the fragrance of the land and the hardship of farming. Really close to the land, try to sow, or allow people to walk into the countryside, have more awe and cherish life. (Finish)
