Longping Rice Park

The Longping Rice Park is located in Mingyue Village, Lukou Town, Changsha County. It served as a key base for late Academician Yuan Longping's research on hybrid rice during his lifetime and is an important platform where Academician Guan Chunyun annually hosts demonstrations of new canola varieties. The workstation of Academician Hu Peisong from the China National Rice Research Institute is also based here. The park has become a research and observation base for renowned domestic and international agricultural scientists to develop core technologies, key technologies, and common technologies, and commercialize technological innovation achievements.
