Under the persimmon trees, local villagers can be found busy gathering and cleaning the fruits. Persimmons have been placed around every house in the village, as they become sweeter after exposure to the sun for two to three weeks.
At present, persimmon planting and processing is a characteristic industry for local people to increase their income.
"Persimmon trees require little management throughout the year. We only need to wait for a concentrated harvest. This year, my family is expected to earn more than 3,000 yuan ($414.3) collecting persimmons," said Luo Shujun, a villager in Niutou village.
