Introduction to attractions of Bayi Farm:

195 1 In August, the acting commander of Xinjiang Military Region, accompanied by Gan Zuchang, Minister of Logistics, and Zheng, Deputy Minister of Logistics and Finance, visited Wutongwozi twice and found that the land here was extremely fertile. As long as there is enough water for irrigation, all kinds of crops can be harvested, especially hundreds of thousands of acres of virgin land. Once ploughed, it is as fat as black soil mixed with clear oil. Facing the oil-flooded land, General Wang Zhen and his party repeatedly analyzed the geographical location and decided to build a large-scale mechanized farm here.

There are two reasons: first, the land of Wutongwozi is flat and fertile; Second, Wutongwozi is close to Dihua, and there is a path leading to Altai Mountain. Bandits often appear and disturb the social order near Dihua. Running a big farm here is to make the best use of people and land. 1960, Minister of Agriculture and Reclamation Wang Zhen visited the delegation. The original intention of running a farm here is to explore the experience of large-scale production for the troops, train cadres, set an example for the local people and drive them to develop production.

According to the instructions, Zheng led the logistics brigade of the military region to Wutongwozi to carry forward the spirit of Nanniwan, self-reliance and hard struggle, and built a reservoir to resist the cold and snow on the Gobi Desert. 1952, the commanders and fighters ate sorghum cakes and drank alkaline water from ditches, used local materials, worked hard and skillfully, and relied on people to pick up the shoulders to open up wasteland, creating a large-scale and highly mechanized military reclamation farm-Bayi Farm, which was called the first plow of military reclamation.
