Luo Minggang picks tea leaves at a tea garden in Dalian Village of Tuxi Township in Fenggang County of Zunyi City, southwest China's Guizhou Province, May 3, 2019. Luo Minggang, a farmer in Dalian Village, established a tea cooperative with some villagers in 2007 as Fengyang ramped up efforts to develop tea industry as a pillar industry. After a few years of exploration and hard work, Luo became an expert in tea leaves caring, picking and processing and won many awards in national tea contests. Now the tea cooperative has attracted more than 200 people to join and has been equipped with over 20 processing facilities, with its tea garden covering an area of about 400 mu (26.67 hectares).
