Yunnan is mountainous with high mountains and winding roads. During the Chinese New Year season, after circling along Shizishan Road for over two hours of bumpy driving, we finally arrived at Mangjing Village, Jingmai Mountain, Huimin Town, Lancang Lahu Autonomous County, Pu'er City. For thousands of years, tea has been produced by people in the village, and "people, land, tea, and forest" have coexisted. Nowadays, with the deepening implementation of the "Signal Upgrade" special action of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the sign of "5G signal coverage" can be seen everywhere, and the "Information Express" connects the millennium old tea forest with the modern world, and the villagers' steps towards prosperity are getting bigger and bigger. Hello everyone! This is the core production area of Pu'er tea, and I would like to recommend several good teas to you This is our traditional roasted tea, with a unique production process and a unique flavor to drink. "- At the entrance of the tea garden in the early morning, Dai girl Yuban and Wa girl Yejin, dressed in ethnic minority costumes, have set up tea tables and are facing their phones. While brewing tea, they interact enthusiastically with netizens in the live broadcast room, introducing and selling tea produced in their own tea gardens. Located deep in the mountains, in the past, tea business mainly relied on offline loyal customers and fixed time tea merchants visiting to purchase and negotiate prices. However, during the epidemic, this model was temporarily interrupted. 5G brings ultra high definition live streaming, allowing us to showcase the growth, picking, rolling, fermentation, and drying processes of tea to audiences from all over the world through the lens. The quality of tea is' visible to the naked eye ' Yuban said that this enhances consumers' sense of participation and trust, quickly promoting and delivering tea to consumers across the country. In September 2023, the "Puer Jingmai Mountain Ancient Tea Forest Cultural Landscape" was officially included in the The World Heritage List, becoming the 57th World Heritage in China and the only cultural heritage with tea as the theme among the world cultural heritage. The 5G network "highway" allows more and more people to see Jingmai Mountain, promoting the integration and development of the local "tea industry+tourism industry". In the past, the main network problems faced by Jingmai Mountain were weak road signal coverage and insufficient deep coverage of major building areas. For this reason, we have increased the preference for resources and vigorously improved the Internet infrastructure in mountain areas. " According to Huang Xianmu, Network Director of China Mobile Yunnan Lancang Branch, the current 5G coverage rate in Jingmai Mountain area is 91.12%, and the 4G coverage rate is 87.57%. Tea farmers can walk around the tea garden and live stream, showcasing the ecological scenery of ancient tea forests and unique folk activities of local ethnic minorities to the world, driving the live streaming industry and attracting domestic and foreign tourists. While expanding the income path for tea farmers, 5G networks also make tea planting and production more "smart". Entering the Xiaoxinzhai Smart Tea Garden, high hanging cameras and uniformly rotating meteorological equipment can be seen everywhere, monitoring and collecting environmental data in real time. "The tea garden adopts 5G slicing, edge computing, agricultural IOT, big data processing and other technologies to build a digital tea garden management platform." Zhao Zhiliang, Manager of the Customer Collection Center at China Mobile Yunnan Lancang Branch, introduced that the Smart Tea Garden Supervision Platform allows for real-time monitoring of key ecological environment indicators such as air quality, temperature, and humidity in Pu'er tea gardens, as well as monthly trends. This enables real-time collection and analysis of tea production data, providing scientific decision-making references for tea garden protection and driving tea garden income growth. At present, Xiaoxinzhai tea plantation covers an area of 8305 acres, with a fresh leaf yield of 129 tons and an output value of over 8 million yuan. In the view of Mr. Nankang, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage in Jingmai Mountain, building an "information highway" in the mountains has made people's lives more and more beautiful. The tea we produce goes from its place of origin to the hands of consumers. If we do a good job in digitalization, the industry chain will be good, and culture will be well spread, so that the people will benefit more. In the future, 5G is expected to "unlock" more new application scenarios. In the ancient tea forest of Jingmai Mountain, Huang Xianmu, who is inspecting and maintaining the base station, told reporters that Jingmai Mountain has a vast and unique terrain, which is very suitable for developing low altitude economy. The company is planning to build a 5G-A site, and in the near future, low altitude live streaming is expected to provide viewers with a bird's-eye view, showcasing the picturesque overall style of Jingmai Mountain. At the same time, new applications such as helicopter sightseeing and low altitude drone transportation will also bring more possibilities to the local cultural and tourism industry. (New Society)
