In order to build a "green ecological food town" as the goal, we will build a 305 hectare pollution-free vegetable production base and three pollution-free agricultural products brands at the provincial level, and continue to support the expansion of lufengtianyuan vegetable planting cooperatives in the demonstration planting of dinosaur mountain town. In the characteristic agricultural demonstration areas of Caiyun and dinosaur mountain, the vegetable planting area of dinosaur mountain town is 13315 mu, and the demonstration planting area of sweet dragon bamboo in Jiudu and Famen areas is 317 mu. Three special projects were introduced, including planting Dalbergia tatarinowii in 20 mu of sparse soil forest, grape planting in Chuxiong Zhonggeng company, and breeding 10000 laying ducks. Specialties: Jiudu SWEET DRAGON bamboo, xiaojiangkou pollution-free sand watermelon, xiaojiangkou sugarcane, Plateau Characteristic fresh greenhouse vegetables, pollution-free sand potato, sand peanut, etc.

natural resources

Dinosaur Valley of the world. Dinosaur Valley in AAAA scenic spot is 35 kilometers south of the county, with an altitude of 1665 meters. In 1937, dinosaur fossils were found in this area, hence the name. In 1938, Yang Zhongjian unearthed in Shawan the first complete dinosaur fossil in Yunnan history, Lufeng Xus. In the following 50 years, 73 species of animals and plants, belonging to 9 classes, 26 families, have been unearthed in more than 70 places in Dawa and the earth. Among them, Lufeng sauroposaurus fauna is one of the most abundant and complete fossil vertebrates in the world, which has high scientific research and tourism value.

Dinosaur fossils and Dinosaur Valley in the world

Anadinosaur mountain, a world-class Dinosaur Cemetery, is the largest Dinosaur Cemetery in the late Middle Jurassic in the world. The dinosaurs found here lived 135-180 million years ago. They were herbivorous and carnivorous. The early, middle and late Jurassic dinosaurs were in the same place. More than 100 dinosaur fossils were buried in the rocks within 1 square kilometer. They are unparalleled in the world for their high density and various types of dinosaur fossils, which can be called "dinosaur fossil treasure house". the World Dinosaur Valley, covering an area of 1000 square meters, is located in the dinosaur mountain town of Lufeng County, Yunnan Province, the "China Lufeng dinosaur city". It reproduces a lost Jurassic era. It is 80 kilometers away from Kunming in the East, 80 kilometers away from Chuxiong in the West and 25 kilometers away from Lufeng County.

Zhongshan crater and paleontological fossils

Chuanjie meteorite crater, a geological wonder, is located in the middle of Yunnan, which is "the geographical center of Yunnan". It is about 6 kilometers northwest of Panlong ancient town. It is only one ridge away from anadinosaur mountain, a world-class Dinosaur Cemetery, the World Dinosaur Valley Scenic Spot and Kunchu expressway. At that time, the Kunchu expressway was built because the huge meteorite crater could not be bypassed There is a certain bend in this section, and the construction of the highway also found a Dinosaur Cemetery that shocked the world. In addition, a large number of paleontological fossils have been found in the talc in the crater and the Zhongshan reservoir area. When we were studying in Chuanjie primary school, the school organized our students to plant goat willows in Dahongshan (made of magmatic rocks, commonly known as yangganshi) around the crater. We also found a lot of shell like things with some textures on them. We can roughly see the creatures with heads and feet. On the satellite map, it seems that there are traces of celestial body impact, forming a large pit 3 km wide from east to west and 10 km long from north to south. This area is the area where dinosaur fossils are most concentrated, and the rock and soil around Changtian, Liyuan, Chuanjie and Dacun in today's Dinosaur mountain town are all of magmatic composition. As you pass the exit of dahongtian tunnel on Kunming Chuzhou expressway, you can see a piece of red magmatic rock. it seems that the mystery of the extinction of dinosaurs may be solved in Lufeng, because there are craters, dinosaur cemeteries, fossils of paleontology, and large areas of red sandstone (we call it sheep liver stone, because it is as red as sheep liver). overlooking the "Tiankeng" wonder in lufengchuan Street area from the air. According to scientific calculation, the "Tiankeng" formed hundreds of millions of years ago has a diameter of 4000 meters. The surrounding craters are 1700 to 1800 meters above sea level, with the highest peak of 1865 meters. The total area of the crater is about 13 square kilometers. Chuanjie area of Lufeng County has rich geological and cultural heritage such as "Tiankeng" and dinosaur sites. With the development planning and project implementation of Dianzhong industrial new area, it is listed as the core protection area and planning development area, and will build a world-class geological and cultural boutique project.

Xingxiu Jiangchuan Street River green forest bamboo sea

Xiaojiangkou: the end of Xingxiu River and the beginning of Lvzhi river. It is the lowest altitude in the county (1309 meters). The water here is clear and the bottom can be seen. It is full of lush, green and green bamboos. The scenery is beautiful. There is no severe cold in winter and no intense heat in summer. It is a good place for tourism and leisure. There are also cliffs, which are the best places for cliff climbers. with the development of modern agricultural production, the implementation of the vegetable industry project and the mountain water conservancy development and reform demonstration area project in Yunnan Province, the renovation and transformation of Chuanjie river course and medium and low yield farmland, the implementation of bamboo planting, river dredging and reinforcement projects, the agriculture and bamboo forest green sea in the low hot valley nearest to Kunming came into being.
