Cultural and tourism departments in Yunnan Province recently launched six tourism routes covering seven major coffee production bases, including Baoshan, Pu'er and Dali, to further promote the high-quality development of tourism related to coffee resources, Thailand's Bangkok Post reported.

With regard to the promotion of coffee-related tourism, Jiang Daoping, a tour guide with the Kunming Tour Guide Association, the capital of Yunnan Province, said, "during the coffee harvest season, visitors can learn about the whole process from picking coffee fruits to washing, extracting and drying coffee beans. They can even grind a cup of coffee with their own hands during the journey. "

In addition to the official tourism itinerary launched by the Yunnan tourism department, some Yunnan coffee farm owners have also firmly grasped the enthusiasm of young people who like to participate, and launched various activities to let people know more about coffee cultivation and production, so as to get closer to coffee.

The coffee harvest season in Yunnan begins around September in low-altitude areas and from late November to January in high-altitude areas. Before the harvest, the coffee farm needs to carry out various management tasks such as weeding and fertilizing the planting area every day (the coffee planting area is generally large, basically weeding an entire area, and new weeds will grow in the area that is removed first). And start planting new coffee seedlings at a specific time.

In order to give coffee-loving and freedom-loving friends an opportunity to have a richer life experience / spiritual value, since July this year, some estates have launched the "recruitment of Yunnan Coffee volunteers" one after another, giving everyone a chance to briefly put aside their life in 996 and get close to nature and learn about coffee cultivation.

Some manor managers said in a post that one way to launch such a campaign is to make more friends who want to know more about coffee, the whole process of a cup of coffee from planting to extraction. One is to help the manor alleviate the shortage of manpower in the production season in the short term.

Although volunteers are not paid, they will have appropriate living subsidies and will provide you with activities to get close to nature, stay in the accommodation area of the sea of clouds, and have all kinds of artist life activities at night, so as to provide you with a short but fulfilling pastoral life experience.

In addition to volunteer activities, the manor has launched a real-name adoption campaign for coffee trees. As long as you donate a certain fee to a designated charity, you can adopt a coffee tree and hang the name of the donor on the coffee tree. In some estates, after the coffee trees have been adopted, it is said that the coffee beans produced by picking the coffee fruits received during the harvest season belong to the adopters.

After the launch of these activities, a lot of people signed up to participate, and everyone hopes that Yunnan coffee can have a better development and go international. Some netizens also quit their jobs in the city to devote themselves to volunteer activities.

Whether it is tourism, volunteers or adoption, the launch of such activities is actually quite meaningful. Nowadays, the culture of fine coffee is becoming more and more popular. when people have a high pursuit of coffee taste and quality, they often ignore the coffee farmers who are constantly working hard for coffee growers. This is also a good opportunity for everyone to understand coffee cultivation in China.

From the consumer's point of view, there may be many people who retain certain views on Yunnan coffee. Launching such a participatory event can make full use of the social platform to tell consumers a new story and enable consumers to have a new understanding of Yunnan coffee through participation.

As to whether this kind of activity is worthy of everyone's resignation and participation, it can only be said that everyone has his own ambition and everyone has his own pursuit. Maybe it will really make more people devote themselves to coffee cultivation because of such activities. If a thing wants to have more development, it needs the participation of all kinds of talents, and there will be more opportunities.
