In Songmu village, eagle-beak peaches hang heavily from the trees, prized for their thin skin and crisp, juicy flesh. In Shuijian village, early-season pears boast a porcelain-like sheen, and their flesh remains white long after slicing.

Lingbei town's vineyard yields nearly 10,000 kilograms of emerald-green Shine Muscat grapes, rich with a rose aroma. Meanwhile, farmers in Gangtou village are intercropping watermelons and chestnuts to maximize land use and sunlight.

In Dacedong village, a grower has planted 28,000 jaboticaba trees, producing around 25,000 kilograms annually, mainly selling to tourists and specialty buyers.
