It's harvest time for over a million mu (164,700 acres)of apples (苹果 píngguǒ) in Jingning County of northwest China's Gansu Province, and the orchards are bursting with color and sweetness.
In recent years, Jingning has made the most of its unique loess plateau landscape and favorable climate to develop a large-scale, tech-driven apple industry (产业 chǎnyè).
What used to be simple orchards have now become a symbol of prosperity. These juicy apples truly are the locals' "fruit of happiness." [Photo: VCG] #脉动中国
