It is the apple picking season now, apple trees are lush and luxuriant, with red apples hanging on the branches. Farmers are busy picking, sorting and transporting apples in Nie Village of Nyingchi City, southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region. The whole village is filled with harvest atmosphere and the sweet smell of fruit.

This year, the apple trees grow well and usher in a bumper harvest. Qilv, the Party branch secretary of Nie Village, says that each family of the village plants an average of 30 more apple trees, and their average annual income reaches 7,000 to 8,000 yuan RMB.

Over 800 boxes of apples have been sold in these two days by taking the model of centralized picking and selling. Not worrying about sales channels, they sell apples through livestreaming e-commerce.

"There are 40 more apple trees in my field and over 250 kg of apples have been sold in this year, being favoured for good taste. " Says Dekyi, a local Nie villager.

Located along the Yarlung Zangbo River, with plentiful rainfall and large difference in temperature between day and night, Nie Village is suitable for the growth of fruit. In recent years, local farmers have made full use of the field around their houses to plant fruit trees, so as to foster courtyard economy, drive more people to increase income, and promote rural revitalization.

Next, Nie and other villages in Nyingchi will rely on the unique natural conditions to actively promote the healthy development of the fruit industry, revitalize the rural economy, and broaden the road to prosperity for the masses.
