Every year when the grapes are unearthed and put on the shelves, Xinjiang Yanqi County Wine Grape Industrial Park welcomes migrant workers from all over the world.
Amanguli Aini is a labor broker of a human resource management company. This year is the first time she leads migrant workers to Yanqi County Wine Grape Industrial Park.

Amanguli Aini said: "I bring thirty or forty people to work in the vineyard every day. Our migrant workers earn more than 100 yuan a day. After the work in the vineyard, we will also do other work such as planting seedlings. , to ensure that our migrant workers earn 3,000-4,000 yuan per month."
The Yanqi Basin wine-producing area is one of the four major wine-producing areas in Xinjiang.
At present, the wine grape planting area in Yanqi Basin is 120,000 mu, and the fruiting area is nearly 100,000 mu.
