The county's bicycle green corridor runs through national-level scenic spots such as Huanglongxi Ancient Town and Dalin Cuihu Pear Township, as well as modern agricultural demonstration areas such as Hejiang Strawberry Base, Sanxing Bayberry Base, Organic Rice, and Loach Base. On the way, tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Songlin Xinyuan, Lihua Valley and other places, and can also go to fish ponds to catch loaches, lobsters and wild fish. During the fresh fruit picking season, loquats from Yongxing in April, strawberries from Hejiang in May, dragon peaches from Sanxing in June, and gem pears from Zhengxing Town in July can all allow you to experience a pastoral farmhouse atmosphere.
