On June 18, the nearly 4,000-mu (266.67 hectares) Nangong River selenium-enriched tea garden in Kaiyang county, Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, appeared lush and verdant after the rain.

Taking advantage of the clear weather that followed the rain, many tea farmers busily weaved through the winding, layered tea fields to harvest summer tea, creating picturesque and breathtaking scenes.

Nangong River Selenium-Enriched Tea Industry Co currently owns a 3,800-mu tea plantation registered for export to the European Union. Since its establishment, the company has adhered to the principles of green, ecological, healthy, and organic development. With the integrated development approach of "promoting tourism through tea and boosting tea through tourism", the company has focused on five main areas: tea production, student educational tours, outdoor team-building training, homestay wellness, and tourism.
