Qiandao Lake Honey Peaches

Qiandao Lake Honey Peaches

　　Qiandao Lake Honey Peaches -- Named a National Famous, Special, and High-Quality New Agricultural Product in 2015.

　　Qiandao Lake is the origin of eco-agricultural products, with over 130,000 acres of high-quality fruit orchards. Of these, honey peach plantations span more than 14,000 acres, producing nearly 8,000 tons per year. The peaches are available in three main categories -- early, mid, and late season -- encompassing over 30 varieties, with the season stretching from the end of May to early October. Qiandao Lake’s one-of-a-kind landscape and top-tier ecological environment have fostered honey peaches that are large, beautifully shaped, brightly colored, richly fragrant, tender-fleshed, and intensely sweet. Nearly 10,000 acres of honey peach farms have obtained pollution-free certification, and the peaches have won gold awards at Zhejiang’s Premium Fruit Expos for several consecutive years.

　　Qiandao Lake Honey Peaches come from their origin — Qiandao Lake, an eco-agricultural product region. They soak up fresh air, bask in sunlight and rain, and are nourished by the spiritual energy of Qiandao Lake’s landscapes. These peaches are large, beautifully shaped, brightly colored, richly fragrant, tender and juicy with a sweet taste. They are safe, nutritious, and of exceptional quality.

　　Production Area Overview: Qiandao Lake has over 14,000 acres of honey peach orchards, producing nearly 8,000 tons of peaches annually. Most of these orchards are located on high mountains at the source of Qiandao Lake, far from urban noise. The peaches enjoy fresh air and “drink” from the farmer’s spring — essentially, they grow freely in this paradise. Nearly 10,000 acres of honey peach farms have received pollution-free certification and have won gold awards at Zhejiang’s Premium Fruit Expos for several consecutive years.
