🌟 **Tips**
1. **Cultural Connection**: Fruit markers echo Buddhist traditions of “offering fruits,” such as “grapes symbolize completeness” and “oranges signify auspiciousness.”
2. **Interactive Fun**: Collect all four fruit stamps to redeem exclusive temple fruit sachets.
3. **Local Collaboration**: Partner with nearby fruit farmers to set up seasonal fruit tasting stalls at route endpoints.
