The flower-viewing locations include Longgang village, Liaocai village, Longtang village, Xiaishi village, and Hegang village in Jianggao town, as well as Nancun village in Longgui Street.

These rape flowers not only boast vibrant colors and high ornamental value but also have high-yield seeds, disease resistance, strong adaptability, and multiple economic benefits, including oil production, culinary use, livestock feed, honey production, and soil improvement, making them suitable for reclaiming saline-alkali land.

The 500 mu of vibrant rapeseed flowers in Longgang village, Zhongluotan town, create a stunning spectacle, drawing numerous visitors to admire their beauty. These premium rapeseed varieties were specially developed by the team of Academician Fu Tingdong from the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Baiyun district has promoted the cultivation of high-yield canola on a large scale through rice-oil rotation, utilizing fallow winter fields to expand the planting of oilseed crops.

Longgang village plans to develop projects such as experiential learning and agricultural culture exhibitions, which will allow visitors to deeply immerse themselves in the rural countryside scenery while enjoying the flower viewing experience.
