Chinese dates are famous worldwide, while Xinzheng dates are the best in China. In Xinzheng, visitors can pick dates, unearth some peanuts, eat local delicacies, visit farm houses, and play with ostriches. Also, they can learn about dates, and visit date processing facilities, to fully and truly experience the farmers' joy for the harvest of Chinese dates.

“世界红枣看中国，中国红枣看新郑。”走进枣乡风情游，你可以打枣、拔花生、吃农家饭、逛农家院、与鸵鸟互动，也可以了解红枣知识、参观红枣加工厂，尽情感受中国红枣之乡的丰收喜悦。

"Our sweet potatoes can be directly eaten like a fruit." On the site, Dengfeng farmers sought out buyers for their agricultural products through live-streaming marketing. Scientific and innovative planting and marketing awareness offered new channels for Zhengzhou farmers to get rich.

“自制的辣椒酱没有任何添加剂，原料全部是本土种植的辣椒！”“这梨既甜又没有渣。”“我们的红薯能直接当水果吃！”在活动现场，登封市还通过线上直播的方式，为农产品“找婆家”。科学创新的种植和销售意识，已经成为郑州农民增收致富的新路径。
