Yaozhuang town in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, recently celebrated its annual yellow peach harvest with families from the Netherlands, Nigeria, Egypt, and the Philippines, as well as local families.

The day began at Beihe village, known for its yellow peach production and cultural significance. At the Yellow Peach Exhibition Hall, Pan Jiahao from Yilifu Group introduced the history, nutritional value, and unique industry of Yaozhuang yellow peaches, giving visitors a deeper appreciation of this local specialty.

Visitors then explored the lush peach orchards and picked ripe yellow peaches. Despite the heat, there was much laughter and excitement.

After picking peaches, the group visited the farmers' painting studio at Yaozhuang Gymnasium. Local artist Shen Jinxin shared the essentials of creating farmer paintings. Under the artists' guidance, visitors crafted their own hand peach-themed fans, adding a creative touch to their journey and immersing themselves in traditional Chinese art.

Lunchtime featured a yellow-peach-themed feast, with a dessert made from Yaozhuang yellow peaches being particularly memorable. This sweet treat captivated everyone with its refreshing taste and aroma.

The Yaozhuang yellow peach experience was both educational and enjoyable for visitors, while also opening new opportunities for the town's yellow peach industry and cultural tourism. Yaozhuang plans to host more vibrant events such as this to attract more tourists and drive local development.
