Weifang area has superior climatic conditions, good water and fertilizer conditions, mostly sandy soil, which is very suitable for the growth of white radish. After hundreds of years of careful cultivation and breeding, the radish varieties produced are obviously superior to those produced in other places, and now excellent white radish varieties with obvious local characteristics have been cultivated. For example, the "duck egg head" shaped like a duck egg, the "neck-pinching" with a slender stem like a neck, and the "hundred days" that can be harvested in a hundred days.

Their common characteristics are: thin skin, tender meat, juicy, sweet but not spicy, less lignin, no residue in chewing, and they are famous for their tenderness, crispness and sweetness. In 2002, during the first Rugao China Longevity Culture Festival, domestic health experts believed that Rugao radish and other foods were helpful for digestion and other fitness effects. There have been proverbs such as "radish is loud and crisp, and it can live for hundreds of years after eating" and "Yantai apple Laiyang pear is not as good as Weixian radish skin".

There is a round and flat white radish in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which is called "Cai" in dialect. A dish tastes completely different from a white radish.
