Planting base
Core Location Advantages: Gifted Land, Ecologically Rich Area
The company's core base is located in Shanglin County, Nanning City, Guangxi. It boasts the dual honors of "China's Longevity County" and "National Ecological Civilization Construction Demonstration County." Located in a subtropical monsoon climate zone, it possesses a unique "microclimate ecosystem." Relying on the Daming Mountain natural water source protection area, the base's irrigation water is sourced from deep mineralized mountain spring water. The soil is rich in trace elements such as selenium and zinc, with a pH of 5.5-6.8, exhibiting weak acidity. This provides a four-in-one natural suitable environment of "temperature, humidity, soil, and water quality" for the growth of Dendrobium officinale and dragon fruit, among other local medicinal herbs.
Three-Dimensional Industrial Layout: Thousands of Acres of Parkland, Diverse Business Integration
The base has a total planned area of 1000 mu (approximately 66.7 hectares), constructing a dual-drive model of "traditional Chinese medicine planting + health and elderly care":
Local Medicinal Herb Planting Area: Divided into two core functional sections, including a 300-mu open-air planting area focusing on cultivating medicinal and edible varieties such as red-fleshed dragon fruit. It uses wild-simulating organic planting techniques, without the use of chemical pesticides throughout the process; a 500㎡ intelligent greenhouse planting area for rare varieties such as Dendrobium officinale, equipped with temperature control, drip irrigation, and supplementary lighting systems, achieving scientific control throughout the entire cycle of "greenhouse seedling cultivation - biomimetic domestication - open-air transplantation."
Health and Elderly Care Supporting Area: A 200-mu health and wellness demonstration area is planned, constructing a traditional Chinese medicine treatment center, a health-conscious dining restaurant, and ecological residential apartments. Relying on the traditional Chinese medicine planting base, it creates a full-chain service of "adoptive planting - processing experience - health management," forming a characteristic industrial closed-loop of "planting for health, health in a scene."
Ecological Planting Innovation: From Single to Multiple System Evolution
Since launching a diversified planting strategy in 2023, the base has broken away from the traditional single-variety planting model, constructing a three-layer three-dimensional planting system of "trees - shrubs - herbs":
• Upper Layer Trees: Interplanting shade-tolerant species such as cassia and star anise, forming a natural shade barrier to reduce the damage from strong sunlight in summer;
• Middle Layer Shrubs: Core planting of Dendrobium officinale, utilizing tree trunk epiphytic cultivation techniques to simulate the original rock wall growth environment;
• Lower Layer Herbs: Intercropping light-loving varieties such as dragon fruit and honeysuckle, whose climbing characteristics effectively utilize vertical space, reducing soil erosion caused by exposed ground. This planting model of "complementary varieties and ecological symbiosis" has increased biodiversity in the park by 40%, reduced the incidence of pests and diseases by 35%, and increased the comprehensive output value per mu by 60% compared to the traditional planting model, truly achieving sustainable development of "using medicine to nourish the land, and using the land to cultivate medicine."
The base has established a full-chain quality control system. Through "environmental advantages as a foundation, diversified planting as the cornerstone, and ecological technology empowerment," the Shanglin base has not only become a benchmark demonstration project for the Guangxi traditional Chinese medicine industry, but has also explored a new path for rural revitalization of "ecological beauty, industrial prosperity, and people's wealth," providing a replicable "Shanglin model" for the development of the health industry.
