Heshui Watermelons

Heshui Watermelons

　　Heshui watermelons are well-known for their sweet flesh, small (or seedless) seeds, and good shape. During peak sales seasons, vendors from more than 20 provinces (and municipalities) across the country—except for places like Tibet—gather at the Genglou Market, creating a spectacular scene. In recent years, the focus has shifted from primarily growing “Xinhongbao” to mainly cultivating seedless varieties such as "Yinong." Annual production is around 1,989 tons. (Gaoming)
