In order to keep the “freshness” of Fenghua honey peaches, recently, in the workshop of Yuanlan Food Technology Company located in Fenghua District, workers are busy meeting orders for honey peaches at full capacity. “The orders for honey peach wine and jelly peaches have been arranged until the end of this month”, said Zhong Xuezhen, who is in charge of the company. With the support of the scientific research team of the Processing Institute of the municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the “bottleneck” problem of browning of honey peach juice and fruit wine has been solved, and the honey peach industry chain is becoming larger and larger, with the sales value of juice and other products reaching 1.2 million yuan.

Honey peach is a characteristic and advantageous agricultural product in Fenghua District, with an annual output of over 70,000 tons. However, the loss rate in planting, storage and preservation is from 30% to 50%.

In the Tianfei Lake Scenic Area of Ningbo Bay, boats are parked on the blue surface of the lake, and a large lawn camping site is on the shore. Tourists are busy building a canopy. The campsite is adjacent to a spacious avenue, and the "small train" in the scenic area carrying tourists is slowly moving. The renovated "car style café" in the carriage sends out fragrant smell. Ms. Xu, a nearby villager, informed us that this is the only perennial clear water area in the coastal waters of the East China Sea. The landscape there is like a "wallpaper".
