Tangerine

　　Tangerines are abundantly grown along the Suoxi River in Wulingyuan and in nearby areas such as Jiuxi and Jiangya. The peak harvest season is from September to October. Some tangerines can weigh up to 400 grams, with a balanced sweetness and a refreshing, juicy taste. From Louxi Ferry to the mouth of the Suoxi River, stretches of tangerine orchards are scattered along both sides of the road, covering tens of miles intermittently. The sight of spring blossoms and autumn fruits adds great enjoyment to travelers' experiences. To meet visitors’ demand, in recent years the Wulingyuan District has continuously expanded cultivation and improved management, leading to a significant increase in yield. Storage methods have also been refined, ensuring a steady supply of fresh tangerines well into the following spring and summer. (Zhangjiajie)
