Nyingchi benefits from Guangdong's aid efforts

Guangdong's aid initiatives have played a pivotal role in establishing national industrial clusters, such as the yak industry and modern agricultural parks for Tibetan pigs, edible fungi, and tea production.

Notably, the tea industry in the city's Metog county stands out as a success story, with the introduction of tea varieties from Guangdong leading to significant growth in tea cultivation and increased incomes for local farmers.

Zhong Dong, a tea farmer in Metog county, expressed his delight, stating, "With the guidance of aid-Xizang experts, my family's tea garden has flourished, enabling us to earn over 40,000 yuan annually from tea picking, a substantial portion of our total income. I am confident in the future of tea cultivation."

Furthermore, Guangdong's aid efforts have extended to the tourism sector, a key pillar of Nyingchi's economy. The establishment and enhancement of scenic spots in various regions, coupled with the promotion of tourism cooperation alliances, have significantly boosted the city's tourism revenue, reaching a record high of 11.6 billion yuan in 2023.

Overall, Guangdong's commitment to directing over 80 percent of aid funds and projects to grassroots initiatives underscores its dedication to rural revitalization and improving the lives of farmers and herdsmen. In education, Guangdong has supported the construction of schools and dispatched more than 2,400 teaching personnel, further strengthening the educational landscape in Nyingchi.

As Guangdong's aid to Xizang continues to make a tangible impact on the region's development, it stands as a testament to the enduring partnership and collaborative efforts between provinces, fostering growth, empowerment, and prosperity in the picturesque landscapes of Xizang.
