On 8 july, shinjing news service (intermediate journalist zhao li xin) officially resumed construction work on the west side of the road on the road to the west of wang jiamura, huang jiang town, lanzhou, gansu province. Journalists learned from the local sources that 60 acres of arable land, directly linked to the lanzhou lily, oilseeds, chinese medicine, etc., are the main farm road that villagers cultivate and transport. As a result of years of unrepair, the roads have been severely damaged, and this renovation will alleviate the problems of the villagers in the mountains and facilitate the development of transport and tourism in the village。

Li zhong, director of the wang jiamura village council, described the road, although not long, as the main main road for village traffic and the main road for villagers to farm on the mountain. “in 2016, the brick road began to harden, followed by successive heavy rains, and many sections of the road were washed down, causing difficulties for villagers in transporting crops and daily traffic.”
“now this road pit is low and particularly narrow. It's not easy to go up and down the mountain and it's sad.” a villager told a journalist。
The agricultural science and technology promotion centre of lanzhou city, the agrologist liang yuwen, told reporters that huang yi, the town where wang jia village is located, was the birthplace of lanzhou lily, “in the years of qing dynasty, a person named yang introduced lily seeds and planted them in huang yi, forming the present lanzhou lily”. He described lanzhou lily as one of the only two sugarable lilies in the country, and lanzhou lily's acquisition time costs were extremely high, taking nine years from the mother to the table。
The village of yang yun (alias) aged 52, who was a village substitute teacher and head of the village council, planted over 7 acres of lily this year. He told reporters that lanzhou lily produced between 1,500 and 2,000 pounds of acre, and that if the road was hard to walk, it would increase the pressure on people to transport. “the purchase price of lanzhou lily on the ground was 5 or 6 pounds, but the price in circulation in the market was 30 or 40 pounds. If village transport improves, it will facilitate transport, trafficking outside lanzhou and thus increase the incomes of growers.”

Yang yun told reporters that the lanzhou lilies in wang jia village are of extremely high quality, growing at altitudes above 2,000 metres and above 2,800 metres above sea level. “the country's sugar content is much higher than the normal lily and tastes sweet because of the high temperature and the long duration of its life. Even more valuable is the fact that lanzhou lily has a particularly small amount of coarse fibre."
Villagers have indicated to journalists that in recent years the area of the lanzhou lily in wang jia village has been reduced, with more than 1,300 acres of land being planted in the village, leaving only 500 acres of lanzhou lily in wang jia village。
“i hope that the traffic at wang jia village will be better and that the road from the village to the city will be wider. Not only will the lanzhou lily be sold better, but it will also make it easier for the city to travel to our village. Our village has an ecological landscape and fresh air, beautiful." yang yun said。
