China News Service, Songyuan, June 29 (Gao Long'an) In the afternoon, by the Chagan Lake, Shang Ying had just sent away a wave of fish-eating tourists, so she hurriedly prepared the ingredients for the evening.

The two hours in the afternoon was originally a rare break in her day, but her instinct told her that in the future, such breaks would become less and less.

　　Recently, the number of tourists to Chagan Lake has increased significantly.

Shangying's fish farm has been open for nearly 20 years and is quite famous in the local area, but "Xia Busy" has only happened in the last five or six years.

"In the past, people thought it was so far, and almost no one came in the summer. Now when it comes to winter and summer vacations, the highways are all cars from Benchagan Lake."

　　There are more tourists, and the off-season is no longer weak.

The original store of 100 square meters is no longer enough. Shangying is busy expanding the store while doing business.

"The lobby has expanded to more than 200 square meters, the reception capacity has doubled, and the income has at least doubled." In a few days, Shang Ying plans to hire a few more chefs and waiters.

　　In Chagan Lake, there are many shops like Shangying.

With the in-depth development of the Chagan Lake tourism industry, more and more foreign tourists come here. The north-south Daguang Expressway and the east-west horizontal Hunwu Expressway have played a role in attracting tourists.

Shang Ying chatted about the recent business, and her brows were overjoyed.
