CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- On July 21, Yin Xueying, a grower, is harvesting lotus flowers with villagers at the lotus cultivation base in Shuangtang Village, Jingguan Town, Beibei District.

In the past few days, dozens of species of lotus flowers have been blooming at the base. Local plant brokers and growers jointly make fresh-cut flowers and sell them to Yunnan, Guangdong, Shanxi and Gansu through the internet, so as to improve the added value of lotus and increase the income of villagers.
