1. Description of Our Community
Shangyi County, a myth place with a reputation of the North Gate of Beijing, the capital of China, located at the Southside of the Mongolian Plateau, has the population of 200 thousand living on more than 2600- square- meter beautiful high land. The people, who nurtured by a long civilization of Chinese culture, has earned its style as simplicity, generousness, diligence, courtesy and hospitality.
The weather here is very typical as dry, windy and grassy inland with the average rainfall of about 413 mm, temperature of 28 F. Generally speaking, it’s a really cool place to have a holiday while it is very hot and humid and uncomfortable in the south of China every summer.
So, tour industry in this rural place is being planned and developed as well as the other necessary entertainments and services such as roads, communication, hotels and power.
Historically, this area was inhabited by the shepherds until the middle of Qing Dynasty, when the mass of immigrants moved in. Since then agriculture had been introduced in and developed. Its Youmai, a kind of wheat, is exported to far south of China as healthy food with low fat, low sugar but full of other nutrition.
