Relying on Jiabei Country Park and fertile farmland in the town, Waigang has launched an array of experiential activities such as picking fruit and farming, and created a characteristic pattern of integrated development of agriculture, tourism and culture, making it a hot destination for visitors who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Additionally, the town has been beefing up efforts to promote agricultural mechanization. New-type and high-tech agricultural implements have been widely used in the town and have played an important role in improving farming efficiency.
Thanks to the continuous efforts made by the local government, Waigang has grown into an environment-friendly town featuring distinctive characteristics and complete functions, as well as a prosperous place and an ideal area for living and working.
