In Fushan township in Qingtian county, Lishui, Zhejiang province, there is a unique symbiotic rice-fish aquaculture system and fields of chrysanthemums.

This is the result of agricultural structural adjustment in Fushan in 2020. The town is developing a characteristic agricultural sector based on its conditions, and striving to create a provincial-level strong town with "rice and chrysanthemum" characteristic agriculture.

Fushan, which sits at an altitude of more than 600 meters and is 25 kilometers from Qingtian county center, is a provincial historic and cultural town and one of the best rural leisure tourism destinations in China.

According to Jin Wenbo, principal of the Xuande chrysanthemum base in Fushan, every autumn, the golden chrysanthemums integrate with Fushan's landscape, historic sites and culture, turning it into a popular tourist spot.

Fushan, relying on these two leading agricultural industries and based on its natural tourism resources, is realizing rural revitalization, said Ji Jiankai, deputy chief of Fushan.
