Xinhua News Agency, Xi'an, December 27 (Reporter Zhang Bin) At the foot of the Qinling Mountains, in Chang'an District, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, the weather is freezing outside, but the greenhouses in the Qinling Flower World Modern Agricultural Park are blooming.
The flower production base of Chang'an District is quite large-scale in the northwest region, with a planting area of more than 5,100 acres, and is known as the "flower world" at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.

Since the beginning of this year, with the full coverage of navigation between Xi'an and the five Central Asian countries, and the number of China-Europe trains (Xi'an) has reached new highs, high-quality local products such as fungus produced in the Qinling Mountains, apples on the Loess Plateau, jujubes on the banks of the Yellow River, and tea in the Qinba Mountains are becoming more and more convenient to embark on the "Belt and Road" to provide "good taste" for the co-construction of the country.
Isolated by the Guanshan Mountains in western China, with numerous mountains and ravines, complex topography and changeable climate and environment, it is a key area to solve the problem of "unbalanced development" in recent years. Today, many of the local production capacity in the western region has stepped out of the deep mountains and ravines, benefiting from the increasingly dense rapid transportation network, effective rural revitalization and high-level opening up strategies.
