Leeks begin to bloom with white flowers in autumn, and the work of farmers in production and sales also temporarily winds down. The specialized leek-growing areas in Ruiyuan and Zhongxin are blanketed in white, with swaying white blossoms dancing in the wind as if celebrating the arrival of autumn. It’s a lively festival-like celebration of the joy of harvest. The leek cultivation area in Daxi Town covers approximately 100 hectares, with 70 hectares concentrated in the specialized leek-growing area of Zhongxinli. As a result, walking along the streets of Zhongzhuang, you can smell the fragrance of leek blossoms wafting through the air.

In spring, the leek fields are a lush green, full of vitality. But by August and September when autumn arrives, the white leek blossoms cover the fields, creating a stunningly beautiful snow-white sea of flowers. In the future, this area will also develop toward leisure and sightseeing agriculture, allowing people not only to buy Daxi leeks at the market but also to visit the leek gardens in person, cycling leisurely to enjoy the northern-style scenic countryside.
