Wulingyuan Tangerines

Wulingyuan Tangerines

　　Tangerines — Abundantly grown along the Suoxi River in Wulingyuan and the nearby areas of Jiuxi and Jiangya. They ripen between September and October, with some weighing up to 400 grams. These tangerines have moderate sugar content, offering a sweet and refreshing taste. From Jubu Ferry to the mouth of the Suoxi River, the roadside stretches for dozens of miles, dotted intermittently with vast tangerine orchards. The spring blossoms and autumn fruits add much enjoyment for travelers. To meet visitors’ demand, Wulingyuan District has continuously expanded cultivation in recent years and implemented careful management, leading to a significant increase in yield. Storage methods have also been improved, ensuring a steady supply of tangerines well into the following spring and summer.
