Zhangxi Lychees

Zhangxi Lychees

　　  The Zhangxi lychee orchards span over 1,700 acres and cultivate a wide variety of cultivars, including: March Red, Feizixiao, Black Leaf (Wuye), Guizhi, and Nuomici. Particularly notable are the Guiwei lychees from the Anxi Management Area, which are considered a delicacy among fruits. These trees have long, sparse branches, small leaves in light yellow-green, and round fruit. The fruit has spiky leaf-like tips on the fissures, light red skin tinged with green, tiny and degenerated seeds, thick flesh, and a crisp, sweet flavor with a strong aroma. The taste is excellent and refreshing, delighting the senses.

    Every summer, Zhangxi Town turns lush green with leaves and bright red with fruit. The high-quality fresh lychees attract merchants from all directions, making trade especially brisk.
