The second Guiwei Litchi Cultural Festival was held in Dajing Town, Gaozhou on June 15 themed on “Dajing Guiwei, the favourite among Litchis”. Based on litchi culture, the Festival provided a grand litchi banquet and also showed Dajing’s modern agriculture development.

Dajing Guiwei litchi was listed as one of the outstanding products by China International Agricultural Exhibition. It has a small kernel and relatively firm pulp which tastes sweet and juicy with odor of fragrans. Early in the Song Dynasty, Dajing’s people had already started to cultivate Guiwei litchis.
