Beijie Lychees

Beijie Lychees

　　Machen Town is located at the southernmost tip of mainland China, with an average annual temperature of 23.8°C, annual sunshine duration of 1,997.7 hours, and no frost throughout the year. As a result, the earliest ripe lychees come from here, about a month earlier than in other areas. At the beginning of this year’s Beijie lychee season in Machen, the purchase price was higher than the current price. Local buyers said that Machen Town enjoys abundant sunshine and fertile soil, producing lychees with thick flesh, small pits, high sugar content, and a very sweet and delicious taste.
