At this time of year, Anjiang village in Wenquan town, Xifeng county, Guiyang, comes alive with anticipation as the blueberries reach their peak ripeness. Resembling nature's finest jewels, these berries shimmer with an enticing luster and fill the air with their fragrant aroma, capturing the essence of summer.

Anjiang is home to about 200 mu (13.33 hectares) of blueberry plantations and has been cultivating the fruit for over 10 years. Scientific planting management and suitable climate provide excellent conditions for blueberry growth, and it is estimated that this year's total production will exceed 50,000 kilograms.

As the blueberries ripen, Anjiang has welcomed many visitors to the blueberry gardens, who have come to pick the delicious fruit. The blueberry-picking period will last until August and greatly increase local farmers' incomes. Blueberry cultivation and rural tourism have helped to diversify the local economy.
