On September 9th, 20051/KLOC-0, the 7th China Specialty Culture Festival and the 10th Anniversary Work Summary and Commendation Conference of China Specialty Town Development and Construction Publicity were held in the Great Hall of the People. At the meeting, Hanshou County won the title of "China Pearl Town".

It has been more than 40 years since Hanshou introduced numerous pearls. In the past few years, the pearl industry has been stagnant due to market and technology factors. In recent years, the county party committee and county government have taken measures such as regional layout, scientific and technological breeding, and industrialized operation to enlarge and strengthen the pearl industry and increase farmers' income. The county has set up a leading group for pearl industry, which has given investment support, technical teaching and preferential fees to large-scale pearl farmers who develop pearl farming on the "four barren" water surface, which has stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers to cultivate pearls. More than 50 pearl farming bases or professional villages have been built successively, and more than 10,000 pearl farmers have been developed, with an annual output of about 300 tons of pearls, becoming the main raw material supply base for freshwater pearl processing in coastal areas.

In order to accelerate the pearl industry in the county from big to strong, in June, 2003, the county established the Pearl Industry Association to take the lead in tackling key problems and popularizing pearl culture technology. In the past two years, it has held more than 30 training courses and lectures on pearl culture technology, distributed more than 2000 technical materials/kloc-0, and improved while training. The pearl culture technology in the county is at the forefront of peers in the province, such as breeding of young mussels, rearing of young mussels, and disease control. In particular, more than 8,000 female experts in the Zhouwenmiao and Yanwanghu areas are even more popular. With their excellent skills in mussel-tying and pearl-breeding, they are active in pearl farms in more than 40 counties and cities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi all the year round, with an average annual income of over 10,000 yuan, as high as 30,000 yuan.

The county has also extended the "short leg" of pearl processing by attracting investment for projects and leading large enterprises to run enterprises. Hunan Xiangbalao Pearl Co., Ltd. took the lead in organizing 18 pearl processing enterprises, introduced advanced equipment, improved the processing level, and developed more than 10 pearl processing products, such as pearl ornaments, handicrafts, health products and medicines, which were exported to Europe, America and Southeast Asia. Not long ago, when Xiang Yuande, the president of the Pearl Industry Association of this county, went to the United States to attract investment with pearl products, American friends were full of surprise and praise with a large round pearl in their hands. The county magistrate of Amway Lande County put a pearl necklace around her neck on the spot and said three "OK" in succession.

At the end of July, 2000, Hanshou established the largest pearl professional market in the province with a business area of 1500 square meters. During the 2005 Hunan Tourism Festival, hundreds of Chinese and foreign tourists patronize shopping every day. A few days ago, the county declared "the hometown of pearls in China" and "the hometown of specialty products in China". After in-depth on-the-spot investigation of Hanshou urban and rural areas, the experts of the organizing committee thought that the industrialization of freshwater pearls in the county was unique and was at the forefront of the national peers.
