It is the time when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, and the city and countryside of Guilin, Guangxi are filled with the refreshing fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.
In Xiangshan Scenic Spot and the planting base of Guilin's Flower Characteristic Forestry (Core) Demonstration Zone located in Wutong Town, Lingui District, Guilin City, the rounded osmanthus trees are trimmed all over the hills, looking like green "yurts" from a distance.
Several farmers holding long bamboo poles in their hands are busy "beating" sweet-scented osmanthus to make sweet-scented osmanthus products.
As a traditional osmanthus planting area, Guilin has gradually formed an osmanthus industry chain such as planting, harvesting, drying, and deep processing.
It is understood that "Guilin, Guilin, sweet-scented osmanthus becomes a forest".
Guilin is named for the large number of osmanthus, and osmanthus has become the "city flower" of Guilin. The cultivation of osmanthus has a history of more than 2,500 years in Guilin. Multiple varieties.
There are 12 million osmanthus trees planted in the city, 200,000 in the urban area alone.
This also makes Guilin city like a huge "Osmanthus Park".
