Space seeds “moving in”: The Bay Area’s first urban modern agricultural park debuted
FlowerKomiksCinema is located in Huacheng Huibei District, Huacheng Plaza, with a construction area of about 15,000 square meters. In the digital agriculture demonstration zone using 5G series of digital technology to display the digital agriculture demonstration zone – plant factories, a “sense of technology” is coming. Through the smart IoT model, the use of cutting-edge agricultural technologies of soil-free, water and fertilizer integration is equipped with intelligent environmental control systems, nutrient solution circulation systems, monitoring systems, temperature and humidity control systems, etc., which can ensure light illuminance, temperature and humidity, pH value, water flow, EC value, etc., and avoid the impact of natural environmental pollution and diseases and pests on vegetables.
It is worth mentioning that Huacheng Farm is currently the first urban modern agricultural park in the Greater Bay Area. The project is positioned as “based in Guangzhou and surrounds the Bay Area”, integrating technical product display, specialty agricultural product sales, popular science classrooms, indoor experience planting and other elements, exploring a new model of integrated development of culture, business and tourism.
At the scene, the reporter found that the space seeds in Huacheng Farm are particularly eye-catching. This is a combination of South China Agricultural University, Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Provincial Agricultural Sciences.A modern agricultural scientific research achievement education area jointly built by the Academy of Sciences. On November 24, 2020, 40 grams of space rice seeds landed on the moon on Chang’e-5. After a 23-day and 760,000-kilometer “moon trip”, they returned to the National Plant Space Breeding Engineering Center for planting. After more than a year of cultivation, scientific researchers have successfully transplanted “space rice” from the greenhouse to outdoor experimental fields. At Huacheng Farm, visitors can truly feel the “magical power” of technology empowering the modern seed industry.
Tall-story surrounding rice fields: the incarnation of wastelandCinemaUrban Agricultural Park
Walking into Tianhe Boutique Agricultural Park, the green rice fields maze first came into view.

After more than half a year of construction, an urban agricultural park with section-level demonstration, ecological tourism, and popular science education has gradually taken shape.
Mr. Zheng is full of expectations for this, and he hopes to take the Komiks child to witness the process of rice maturity with his own eyes. In the past, he had to drive for an hour or two before he could take his children into the fields. “Now you don’t have to run that far now, you can see rice when you go out.” The farmland surrounded by tall buildings also surprised Mr. Zheng.
The park is located on the Qianjin Sixth and Qishe Flower Garden opposite the south gate of Qianjin Primary School.
