　　The Shayang Tribute Pomelo is produced in Shayang Township, Hongjiang City. It boasts an excellent variety and a long history. The tribute pomelo benefits from the region’s unique sandy soil and warm, humid climate, and is cultivated using purely natural organic fertilizers, giving it a distinctive flavor. The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Changling once wrote the timeless verse “Drunk farewell at riverside towers amid citrus fragrance” here. The fruit is pear-shaped and oval, with a yellow rind, thin and easy-to-peel skin, abundant flesh and few seeds, and a soluble solid content of 13–16%. Each fruit contains 11–15 segments shaped like long kidneys, with sweet, crystalline pulp particles. The flesh is tender, sweet with a slight tang, and high in Vitamin C, offering benefits for digestion and reducing internal heat—making it a premium-grade pomelo. The Qing Dynasty’s Tongzhi-era “Qianyang County Annals” recorded: “Its abundance and unique flavor surpass those of other regions, hence people flock to it.”
