Lianshan Big Meat Ginger is a protected geographical indication product.

　　Lianshan Big Meat Ginger is of unique quality, particularly that produced in Meidong Village, which is considered the best. Its rhizomes are plump, with thin skin, thick flesh, golden-yellow color, fine fibers, tender and crisp texture, moderate spiciness, and a slight fragrance. It is rich in various vitamins and amino acids, making it an essential condiment on the dining table. As a result, it is widely sold in the Pearl River Delta region as well as in Hong Kong and Macao, where it is highly favored by consumers. In 1994, Governor Zhu Senlin, during his inspection of the "1994 Guangdong Mountainous and Impoverished Areas Poverty Alleviation Achievements Exhibition and Project Fair" in Lianshan, gladly inscribed the words "Hometown of Ginger," further enhancing the fame of Lianshan Big Meat Ginger.
