Industrial revitalization is an engine for rural development. Baojing County has developed the advantageous characteristic industry centered on “Baojing Golden Tea”, in a bid to develop itself into a national strong industrial town and a characteristic town of Baojing Golden Tea.

Thanks to the strong support of the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau of Baojing County, Lyudongshan Town has developed “Baojing Golden Tea” and “Lyudong Mountain Scenic Area”.
