A thousand-mu lychee orchard
“A rider speeds with dust all red, / The imperial concubine smiles — none knows the lychees come instead.” These lines praise the delicious taste of lychee, a renowned fruit of Lingnan. Located to the north of Bicun in Nangang, Lychee Mountain is abundant in Nuomici lychees. There are over ten thousand ancient lychee trees here, including one that is over 500 years old with a canopy covering 0.7 mu and yielding two thousand kilograms of fruit annually — it’s known as the “Lychee King.” Thanks to the diligent care of the villagers, some lychee trees can produce three different varieties of lychee, which is truly remarkable.
