Young agripreneurs from the Jiangyan Economic Development Zone recently gathered at the Xiaoyang sub-district's rural vitalization demonstration base to take part in a vibrant youth innovation event.

The day began with a DIY kite-making session, where participants used eco-friendly materials like recycled fabric and straw to craft colorful, custom designs. Their creations soon soared above the fields, creating a lively scene of fluttering kites.
Back on the ground, the group geared up for a green hiking challenge. Carrying trash pickers and sorting bags, the young participants walked the Xiaoyang countryside trail, collecting litter and promoting environmental awareness along the way.
The adventure continued with a ride on a mini sightseeing train, taking the group to a lawn archery area where they wrapped up the day with a friendly round of lawn billiards—a fun twist on a classic game, enjoyed in the open air.
With energy, innovation, and action, these young changemakers are helping shape a greener, livelier, and more sustainable future for the zone.
