On June 17, 500000 imitated wild Dendrobium officinale trees on Danxia Cliff in Huangbei Village, Langshan Town, Xinning County, Shaoyang City, Hunan Province ushered in a blooming period. The scattered yellow Dendrobium officinale flowers and the colorful Danxia landform in Langshan constitute a beautiful and vivid ecological picture. The "beautiful economy" integrating ecotourism and specialty industries is flourishing.
"This is the Langshan Cliff Imitation Wild Dendrobium Dendrobium Planting Base and the largest Imitation Wild Dendrobium Planting Base in Hunan Province at present. It is a key project of Hunan's 2022 consolidation and expansion of industrial poverty alleviation achievements. It can bring more than 40000 yuan of income to the collective economy of Huangbei Village every year, and can also drive the employment of more than 10 local villagers." Deng Xiaoxiang, Special Scientific and Technological Officer of Xinning County Forestry Bureau in Huangbei Village, Langshan Town, said.
The cultivation of Dendrobium officinale mimicking wild cliffs in Langshan Mountain can not only make full use of local natural resources, but also be conducive to the reverse migration protection of cliff ecology. In recent years, relying on the advantages of local mountain forests and water resources in Huangbei Village, the forestry department of the county has cultivated professional Dendrobium officinale planting cooperatives, led farmers to cultivate and plant wild Dendrobium officinale, making it a new growth point for farmers to increase income and a characteristic industry to enrich people, and helped rural revitalization.
On the cliff wall of Langshan Mountain in Huangbei Village, 500 meters above sea level, the imitated wild Dendrobium officinale planting base, clusters of pale yellow Dendrobium officinale flowers are attached to the surface of the cliff wall, and the roots are close to the cliff wall, as if listening to the heartbeat of nature. The breeze is blowing, and the flowers of Dendrobium officinale emit a faint fragrance. Under the protection of safety ropes, the pickers slowly descended against the cliff and carefully picked the blooming Dendrobium officinale flowers.
"Now is the season when Dendrobium officinale flowers are in full bloom. Every day, more than ten jin of imitated wild Dendrobium officinale flowers can be harvested. The imitated wild Dendrobium officinale flowers have the effects of soothing mood, lowering blood pressure and sugar, relieving alcohol and nourishing stomach, and enhancing immunity." Li Jianhui, secretary of the Party branch of Huangbei Village, Langshan Town, introduced.
It is understood that as one of the original places of Dendrobium candidum, Langshan has a unique natural environment and rich and diverse species resources. The imitated wild Dendrobium officinale is planted on the wild Dendrobium officinale, which is suitable for growing on the Danxia cliff with an altitude of more than 300 meters and a slope of about 80 degrees. The surrounding ecological environment is good, there are many forest vegetation, and the air humidity is high. After testing, the flavonoid content of Dendrobium officinale planted in imitation wild on Danxia Cliff can be more than three times that of Dendrobium officinale planted in common ways.
