In the dragon fruit planting area close to the road, there is a field of dragon fruit that has matured, and dark red dragon fruit hangs all over the branches; In another field, dragon fruit is in its flowering stage. The owner of the orchard told reporters that the dragon fruit in the orchard ripens in batches, which can ensure that tourists have fruit picking at different times.
Pick watermelons
Next to the dragon fruit planting area, several acres of melons and watermelons are planted. Watermelon weighs 2~3 catties/piece, and melon weighs about half a catty/piece. According to the orchard operator, the watermelon and muskmelon are ripe, and due to the continuous rain some time ago, many leaves on the melon vine have withered, but the taste of the melon is still very good.

Walking into the white greenhouse, bunches of heavy grapes hang from the grape trellises, and the grapes are wrapped in insect bags to prevent insects and birds from eating the fruit. Ripe grapes generally turn from green to purple and black, and visitors pick grapes with black belts under the guidance of orchard staff, and some taste them on the spot, with a sweet and slightly sour taste. In the fig-growing area, the trees are full of green fruits, some of which turn from green to brown, and it is said that the fruit can be picked after the appearance turns dark brown.

According to Cheng Fang, the owner of the orchard, the seasonal fruits of the orchard can basically be marketed. Recently, due to the adverse impact of continuous rain on the production and operation of orchards, few tourists come to pick fruits on rainy days. "The weather is good today, and the number of tourists coming to the orchard to pick fruit has increased significantly."
