河源连平：朵朵桃花开出富民产业

Tens of thousands of acres of peach blossoms bloom splendidly with the undulation of the mountain, stretching for hundreds of miles. Tourists flock in droves to Shangping, making the town a fabulous scenic spot.

Over the years, thanks to the blooming peach blossoms, the local homestay, catering, and agricultural businesses have witnessed fresh rises. Many villagers said that when the peach blossoms bloom, visitors find it hard to secure a hotel room to sleep in or a table to have meals at here in the town.

In recent years, relying on the peach industry, Shangping Town of Lianping County has launched tourism activities such as photography, camping, and hiking but to name a few. By offering tourists the most rewarding and excellent experiences, the town continues attracting more people to its peach forests, promoting the local economy.
