Huayuankou has a flat landscape and a geological structure of alluvial and diluvial sediments from Yellow River floods in previous years.

Moreover, the local temperature fluctuation between day and night is big, so it is very suitable for cultivating sweet potatoes. The Huayuankou sweet potato agricultural area is located on the nearby flood plain of the Yellow River.

Sweet potatoes had been the staple food for people along the Yellow River until the 1960s and 1970s.
