Baofeng village in Jingning She autonomous county is one of the main production areas for Huiming tea, a local tea variety in Jingning, where tea is one of the main sources of income for villagers.

"Our village is quite different from what it was in the past," said Zhang Shuyue, secretary of Baofeng village Party branch. "Now, there are many projects under construction or being proposed in our village, with total investment of nearly 1.8 billion yuan ($256.5 million)."

Yin Weiwei, a tea merchant from Zhejiang's Huzhou bought a tea plantation in Baofeng village many years ago. "I've been to many places, but I love Baofeng the most," he said. "Even the air here is fragrant."

Yin's tea plantation has drawn back many local migrant farmers. During the busy farming season, some skilled workers can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

According to Zhang, the tea plantation is also a scenic spot. At present, a tourism project in the village is under preparation, and the tea plantation will serve as a supporting attraction. It is estimated that the plantation will add another 150,000 yuan a year to the village's collective economy.

Besides the tourism project, a business complex integrating sightseeing, entertainment, business affairs, cultural experiences and a high-end resort are also being prepared.
