"Blue sky and green water, picturesque scenery, full of trees and fruits, full of flowers, 100 acres of water, fish and shrimp full of ponds, terns playing in the water, a fairyland on earth", this is the feeling of Zhang Dongming, a tourist from Guangdong, after visiting Tienong Horticultural Garden in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province. He said that if he walked in the country, he would get rid of fatigue. Even if he just picks a red persimmon in a large field, he will be as happy as a child. This is from the countryside.
In 2005, the major travel agencies in Heilongjiang Province received more tourists than in previous years. The person in charge of a travel agency told the reporter that in 2005, the "green agricultural sightseeing tour" integrating food, housing and transportation was particularly popular. Almost every day, such groups leave, with more than 50 participants. Because of the unique charm of agricultural tourism, many local tourism enthusiasts also participate in it, especially some parents kindly let their children who have lived in the city go to the countryside to visit, broaden their horizons and educate, so tourism has become a compulsory course in summer vacation.
