In recent years, Guanshanhu has positioned its tea industry as a distinctive leading industry, and a clear path towards rural vitalization.

This has led to continuous improvement in the tea industry and a thriving tea brand. Guanshanhu has developed a 5000-mu (825-hectare) ecological tea garden that features high-quality varieties such as Shenque White Tea. The district's tea industry output value reached nearly 70 million yuan ($9.68 million) in 2023.
