On November 16th, sunlight pierced through the morning mist over the fields at Zhashan Mountain Sports Park in Wanshan Town, Lujiang County. The "Citizen Gardens" (XIAOCAIYUAN) were bustling with activity as residents carried baskets and wore gloves, carefully harvesting fresh vegetables. Children played along the ridges, occasionally bending down to examine dewdrops on leaves.
Once dominated by traditional agriculture, this land has now transformed into an "urban retreat" for Hefei and neighboring residents on weekends, thanks to the rise of "shared gardens." The initiative allows city dwellers to experience farming pleasures while fostering family bonding through agricultural activities.
