[Explanation] In the early spring, the vast cultivated land in the southern Xinjiang region is about to recover, but many greenhouses are already full of spring.
On March 3, the reporter walked into the vegetable growing greenhouse in Yingjisha County, Kashgar, Xinjiang. The red tomatoes were already hanging on the branches. The farmers were busy picking, transporting, sorting, weighing and packing.
Abdul Rahman is a villager in the sixth village of Sharonfu Township, Yingjisha County. He introduced that these two days are the tomato harvest, and buyers from different places come to buy them every day.

I have been working here for six months, and my monthly income is 2,000 yuan.
Life is much better than before, and I also learned a lot of vegetable growing techniques.
[Explanation] In recent years, the southern Xinjiang region has accelerated the construction of the vegetable industry system by relying on rich solar thermal resources.
At present, the planting area of facility vegetables in southern Xinjiang has increased from 40% of the total in the past to nearly 80%, making it the most important facility vegetable production base in Xinjiang.

This year, I have planted a total of five greenhouses, one for tomato seedlings, two for pepper seedlings, and one for rose seedlings. It is planned that farmers will be able to transplant them into the fields around March 8th.
[Explanation] In southern Xinjiang, the popularization and promotion of agricultural practical technology training, new agricultural development technologies, characteristic melon and fruit planting, and rural tourism development have filled the gaps in new countryside, new farmers, and new knowledge.
The prosperity of the facility vegetable industry has brought more jobs for farmers in southern Xinjiang, making their "money bags" more and more sturdy, and giving rural revitalization more sufficient "confidence".
The Gobi desert, which was barren in the past, has now become a "gold and silver mountain" for the development of local industries.
