“Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. We shall help the locals broaden their horizons and enhance the region’s capacity for accommodating tourists. We shall work to optimize the industrial structure and enlarge the tourism pie which has an output value of billions of yuan. This means we will implement targeted poverty reduction and alleviation measures to improve people’s livelihood.” said a cadre of the Jiangbei District who was transferred to work in Ceheng County.
Ceheng is one of the 14 counties of extreme poverty in Guizhou Province. According to the cadres of Ceheng County, since 1996, Ningbo as a coastal city, has helped promote the development of the inland Qianxinan District, and Jiangbei and Ceheng has therefore been good friends for about twenty years. Since 2014, with our concerted efforts, the local poverty proportion has dropped from 40% to 15.86%.

With the coming of the summer, the melons and fruits have been ready for harvest at the agricultural technology demonstration zone located near the Dongqian Lake.
When coming to the sweet melon greenhouse of the demonstration zone set up by Ningbo Academy of Agricultural Sciences, one can see the white sweet melons hanging from the branches rather than lying on the ground as they should be. According to a senior agronomist from the academy, there are now 98 varieties of the sweet melon at the greenhouse.
To hang up the melons will increase the planting density and improve the appearance of them by exposing them more evenly to the sunshine. However, it also demands a more careful management. With the drip fertilization and irrigation technology and meticulous care, the new varieties of melon taste sweeter than the ordinary ones.
