Weixian radish, also known as "Weixian green radish" or "high-footed green radish", is a local specialty of Weixian County and a famous radish variety in Shandong Province. Weixian radish was originally produced in the western suburbs of ancient Wei County, and the Beigong land (near Beigong, Beiguan Street, Weicheng District today) was the best, so it is also called "Beigong radish".
