An ancient Chinese farming system has been designated a Globally Important
Agricultural Heritage System (GIAHS) by FAO, making Qingtian County and
Longxian village famous for something other than emigration. The entire
village is benefitting from the conservation of its agricultural heritage
and has become a popular destination for tourists coming from the cities of
Wenzhou and Shanghai. FAO's Director-General, José Graziano da Silva,
visited the site in June 2016.
