After Yang Tong graduated from a college in 2010, the post-80s man returned to his hometown to open the first lavender farm in Zhangjiakou, North China's Hebei province.

Not only Yang planted general lavender to attract tourists, he also built a white lavender (a rare species) breeding base to provide good quality seedlings to planters across China. Moreover, he also bought a production line to refine lavender essential oil to enhance earning.

Now, his farm is famous among the local.
