On October 18, Jimu News was informed by the Luotian County Culture and Tourism Bureau in Huanggang, Hubei Province, that a launch ceremony will be held on October 26 to usher in the persimmon season in Luotian. The grand opening will take place at the Shili Muge Agritourism Zone located in Zanzishi Village, Sanlifan Town, Luotian County, an area famed as “China’s No. 1 Persimmon Village.” Zanzishi hailing persimmons boast a long-standing reputation, with a cultivation history dating back over 900 years.
