　　 Yangshan County is the main chestnut-producing region in Guangdong Province. The chestnuts produced here are sweet and crisp when eaten raw, and soft and fragrant when cooked. During the Mid-Autumn Festival season, the market is flooded with chestnuts, attracting many merchants, and the Yangshan "Chestnut Festival" is especially lively. Yangshan chestnuts are also known as maple chestnuts, chestnuts, chestnut fruits, or large chestnuts. Currently, the total planting area in the county is nearly 10,000 hectares, with the vast majority of the product exported to Southeast Asia and also very popular in the domestic market.

　　Yangshan chestnuts are divided into three types: oil chestnuts, fragrant chestnuts, and wood chestnuts, but oil chestnuts are considered the most prized. Oil chestnuts are of moderate size, with shells that are dark brown and glossy with an oily sheen. Their flesh is thick, sweet, and rich in nutrients, containing high levels of sugar, fat, and protein, as well as minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and potassium, plus vitamins C, B1, and B2, which help strengthen the body. Delicious and tasty, Yangshan chestnuts can be prepared not only by roasting in sand or boiling in water, but also used in gourmet dishes such as chicken with chestnuts and meat with chestnuts—both highly praised delicacies. Additionally, Yangshan chestnuts can be used medicinally, offering benefits such as nourishing the stomach and spleen, strengthening the waist and kidneys, promoting blood circulation, and stopping bleeding.
