At Xiaba village's agri-tourism base in Guizhou Shuanglong Airport Economic Zone, Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, colorful rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, attracting many visitors.

Clusters of yellow, pink, light purple, and orange rapeseed sway in the breeze, releasing a delightful fragrance. Honeybees flit from flower to flower, collecting nectar and pollen. Over 100 beehives are scattered around the fields and nearby mountains, creating a buzzing, bustling scene.

The agri-tourism project in Xiaba village is a rural initiative designed to utilize the village's proximity to the airport and revitalize unused land. Spanning 750 mu (50 hectares), the project is set for full completion within five years.

Ahead of this year's Spring Festival, 200 mu of rapeseed flowers were planted on reclaimed farmland to stimulate the local tourism economy. Now, as the flowers reach their peak bloom, the area offers the perfect opportunity for sightseeing.
