　　Shijian Chinese Cabbage

　　Guangning County is located in the northwest where temperatures are relatively low, making it difficult to grow yellow-leaf Chinese cabbage. However, the yellow-leaf Chinese cabbage grown in Shijian not only yields high production but also boasts excellent quality — with tender flesh and snow-white color, it is delicious and tasty. Typically, each head weighs between five to seven jin, and some can even reach over ten jin. Every year after the autumn harvest, farmers in the vicinity of Shijian plant a batch of cabbages, which are supplied to markets across the county around the Spring Festival. Some are even transported by boat to nearby areas such as Sihui, Sanshui, Xinan, and Huaiji for sale. They are highly popular, generating considerable income for the farmers.
