In Changsha, such a green economy complex integrating ecological landscape, agricultural production, health preservation and rural tourism can be seen everywhere. 

In Huayuan Xincun Village, Chunhua Town, Changsha County, 600 mu (40 hectares) of paddy fields are planted with lotus, attracting hundreds of tourists every day for fruit picking, sightseeing, boating and fishing. The "lotus economy" has increased farmers’ income. 


Zhanshui Village, Qiaokou Town, Wangcheng District, with 1,200 mu (80 hectares) of high-quality lotus, has completed the transformation from the poorest village to the most beautiful and prosperous village, and the annual income of the village’s collective economy has exceeded 500,000 yuan. 

In Hexing Village, Liushahe Town, Ningxiang City, the ecological planting and breeding industry has been developed into an industry chain and driven the development of other industries.

In Cangfang Village, Zhonghe Town, Liuyang City, Fujiawan, where Lotus Expo Park is located, has become a revolutionary research and practice educational center. Villagers donated their houses to build a Cangfang Lotus Culture Center to unfold lotus culture and integrity culture.

In Xiaohe Village, Liuyang City, there are miles of lotus and revolutionary sites. And lotus is a subject in Chinese painting, oil painting and creative painting works.

In Qiaoko Town, Wangcheng District, a characteristic countryside complex called Heli Qiaojiang renovated residential houses into high-end homestays, which has provided jobs for villagers and boosted local tourism at the same time.
