June diary of the sweet smell of loquat in Yinghu Lake.

Early summer and June are the mature seasons of loquat. When you come to Ankang Yinghu Lake, the largest artificial freshwater lake in the five northwestern provinces, you can not only enjoy the beautiful lakes and mountains, but also enjoy the thin, juicy, sweet and delicious loquat in Qingquan Lippi, Yinghu Town, a new immigrant village by the lake. Let you go home happily on a whim.

Yinghu Lake is located at 16 km southwest of Ankang City in the south of Shaanxi Province, with a total area of 102.8 square kilometers, of which the water area is 77 square kilometers. It is an important water source protection area of the Middle Route Project of South-to-North Water Transfer in China.

With clear water and blue sky, excellent water quality, rich species, mild climate and numerous islands, the scenic spot is known as "Qiandao Lake in Shaanxi", which is a scenic spot with unique natural scenery of Qinba Hanshui and one of the top ten scenic spots in Shaanxi. At the beginning of 20 14, the ecological environment protection project of Yinghu Lake passed the evaluation of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Ministry of Finance, and was listed as one of the first batch of key ecological environment protection projects of 15 in China.

From Ankang city, take a bus or boat from Yinghu Wharf 1 hour to Qingquan Village. Walking with confidence, the fruit in the loquat garden is overwhelming. From a distance, layers of mountains are lush. When loquat is ripe, the orchard is busy, tourists are weaving, and fruit farmers are immersed in the joy of harvest.

Look at the golden and full loquat, which makes people drool. Visitors who come to pick fruits either leisurely carry fruit baskets, climb trees easily, or sit comfortably on the floor, tasting the delicious loquat and experiencing the happiness of picking the harvested fruits themselves.

Loquat, the "first fruit in early summer", not only makes people enjoy the sweetness and freshness of its pulp, but also nourishes the whole human body-loquat leaves, loquat flowers and even bark, which can be used as medicine and become a good medicine to relieve people's illness. Its selfless dedication makes people admire and admire.

Loquat is evergreen all the year round and has a beautiful tree shape, so it is named because its leaves are shaped like the traditional musical instrument pipa. Loquat blossoms in winter, as white as snow. In early summer, fruits are covered with branches and trees are golden. This sweet loquat fruit, from gestation to maturity, has experienced layers of tests in cold winter and hot summer.

Loquat, cherry and plum are also called "three friends in fruit". The ancient poem says, "The water in the duck pond is shallow and deep, and the plum blossoms are half sunny and half cloudy. Dongyuan is drunk and Xiyuan is drunk, and the loquat trees are all picked. " Delicious loquat can be called the top grade in fruit, and ancient literati drank with loquat, which is really elegant and chic. I think the sour and sweet taste of loquat will make them feel refreshed, and the inspiration of poetry is endless.

According to Wen Baojun, a "village official", Qingquan Village, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, firmly grasps the development opportunity of creating an eco-tourism village, relying on convenient traffic conditions and the resource advantages of the rapid development of tourism in the lake. 1993 tried to cultivate, and after many improvements, new grafted varieties were continuously introduced to create a high-quality selenium-enriched loquat brand. At that time, no one cared about every kilogram of 5 yuan, but now every kilogram of 20 yuan is still flooded with tourists, scrambling to enter the park to buy. Picking and tasting loquat has become an important tourism project in Yinghu Lake.

At present, there are mainly high-quality loquat varieties such as Changhong, Jiefangzhong and Dawuxing planted in Qingquan Village. Especially the Jiefang Bell, with bright color, moderate sweetness and sourness, juicy and tender, ecological and organic, and rich nutrition, is deeply loved by tourists. There is also a big five-star, with good fertility, big fruit and much meat, and the weight of a single fruit can be as high as 150 grams!

In recent years, Yinghu Town has continuously strengthened the cultivation and management of forest orchards, actively guided fruit farmers to graft and transform old and inferior loquat trees, promoted fruit thinning and bagging, soil testing and formula fertilization, and adopted advanced technology to improve the quality, so that the yield and income of loquat in this area increased year by year. * * * Cultivate more than 2,000 mu of high-quality loquat, with an annual output of10.5 million tons and an annual output of about 30 million yuan. Loquat has become the main force in the development of Qingquan agriculture and the main way to increase farmers' income. The per capita annual income of fruit farmers is 3,000 yuan. The farmer's wallet bulged around his waist and there were more smiles on his face.

The development of loquat industry gave birth to the development of sightseeing agriculture, and many "fisherman's music" which integrates catering, tourism, leisure and entertainment, agricultural science and technology demonstration and other functions became the biggest beneficiaries. Every year when loquat ripens, it attracts a large number of tourists to visit here. At the end of 20 13, qingquan village was rated as a provincial leisure tourism village in Shaanxi province.

When you come to Qingquan, visitors can not only pick loquat personally and taste its fresh fruit, but also take photos in the loquat forest and taste the wine brewed by loquat ... The development of sightseeing agriculture has made the development of loquat industry jump out of the small circle of selling loquat, found a brand-new way and broadened the channels for farmers to increase their income and get rich.

In order to further build a high-quality loquat brand and let more tourists from inside and outside the province taste the high-quality loquat here, under the leadership of the two committees of Qingquan Village and the cooperative, fruit farmers also registered trademarks. The Se-enriched loquat in Qingquan Village entered the market with great strides, creating a beautiful brand name card for the sustainable development of eco-tourism.

Fishermen enjoy side dishes by the lake and stroll in the mountains and rivers by the lake. The mountain village in the warm sunshine is picturesque. On the lake in the distance, cruise ships and speedboats cross from time to time, and white waves splash; Nearby, among the green trees and bamboos, small foreign buildings with perfect facilities, beautiful appearance and neat planning have sprung up. Every household has built spacious and clean cement roads, and every modern electrical appliance is readily available. In the afternoon, smoke billowed in the mountain village. What a livable mountain village with beautiful lakes and mountains!

Dear friends from afar, the health-preserving selenium-enriched natural pollution-free loquat in Yinghu water town is sweet and fragrant, and we look forward to your visit, sightseeing, picking and tasting!
