== Economy ==
Shitori, despite its scanty amount of arable land, is noted for several agricultural products. The city, like many areas of northern Dainan, produces blueberries and other cold-climate fruits such as apples and cherries. Cultivation of flowering plants, notably heather and lavender, is a relatively new horticultural addition to the city's economy. Land improvement has made small-scale rice production possible. Pigs have been raised in Shitori since the 1920s.
== Local attractions and culture ==
Live music festivals have been a large part of Shitori culture since the 1970s, and the city was named by the popular Kantonese music magazine Pepper as one of the nation's best cities to perform for. The Keiba Central Park, centred around and amongst the ruins of Uda Castle, is popular with residents and visitors. Shitori is also one of the only Kantonese cities to have a Chinatown.
