Rows of tidy greenhouse tunnels gleam softly in the winter sun. Upon entering, warm air rich with the scent of ripe fruit feels like a leap into spring. Lush green vines spread orderly, dotted with small white flowers and radiant red berries glistening invitingly.

Haixing offers more than just picking. Visitors can explore along Yuchuang Road, which features water conservation forests, orchards, and crab ponds. In winter, tall bald cypresses turn red, blending with green camphor trees, golden metasequoias, and multi-colored Chinese tallow trees to create a landscape resembling an oil painting. Breathe in the fresh air of the serene forests, relax along the vibrant "rainbow pathway", or cycle through this harmonious blend of woods, waters, fields, and village life.
