Recently, the 4th Tibet Meizho Rape Flower Festival kicked off in Meizhokunggar County of Lhasa City, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. During the festival, there were three themed activities related to showing appreciation for the CPC, enjoying beautiful scenery and integrating industries, which greatly advanced the integration of all-for-one tourism, vitalization of intangible cultural heritage, promotion of industries, rural revitalization and inheritance of red culture.

Last year, the plantation of rape reached a total of 29,600 mu (19.73 km²), creating an increase of income of 12.95 million yuan RMB for over 4,000 local households. This year, it is expected to produce 220 tons of rapeseed oil, among which the high-end ones account for 60%. The whole year's sales will break 10 million yuan RMB.

Thanks to the CPC's supporting policies, the county has worked to develop rapeseed oil industry, facilitating the coordinated development of agriculture and tourism. With the increasing income of local residents, a beautiful scroll painting of rural revitalization is created.
