Li Kaishou, the deputy director of Hubei Provincial Tourism Administration made a speech at the promotion meeting on Feb 15 in Wuhan.

A promotion meeting for the fifth Jingmen Rape Flowers Travel Festival and other tourism products was held on Feb 15 in Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province. This festival boasts 10 travel programs that feature landscapes, health spas, eco-agriculture, folk culture and other local characteristics.

Jingmen, called China’s “agricultural valley” in Hubei province, is famous for its vastness and magnificent fields of rape flowers. According to Zheng Zhonghua, vice mayor of Jingmen city, many tourists are attracted by the distinctive travel programs. This includes the Rape Flowers Travel Festival, Zhongxiang Longevity Culture Festival and the Yuanyang Stream Drifting Festival in Jingmen, which are only a two hour drive from Wuhan.

Last year, the building of “China’s agricultural valley” became a provincial development strategy. Jingmen took this opportunity to invest a generous amount in new scenic spots such as the Huzhao Moutain and the forested corridor of Dakou.
