Yichang Citrus
Yichang has a long history of citrus production. The *Records of the Grand Historian · Biographies of Commerical and Agricultural Life* mentions “thousands of orange trees in Shu, Han, and Jiangling.” Navel oranges are a premium variety of Yichang citrus. A small fruit grows at the top of the main fruit, which splits open as the fruit expands, forming a navel-like shape — hence the name, also known as "Embracing-Son Orange." This type of citrus is fragrant, sweet, juicy, and seedless, and has won multiple gold awards.
