Lianan Shatian Pomelo

Last updated 2026-11-14 — Lianan Shatian Pomelo is one of the specialty fruits of Lianan County. It is large, attractive in appearance, excellent in quality, crisp and tender in texture, sweet and refreshing in flavor, and rich in nutrients. Regular consumption of Shatian pomelo is believed to aid digestion, clear heat and toxins, moisten the lungs, and help relieve phlegm and cough. Known as a nutritious health food, it is highly favored by consumers both at home and abroad. The fruit has a relatively thick rind, making it resistant to storage and transport. Even after being stored for 4 to 5 months, its flavor remains excellent, earning it the reputation of being a “natural canned fruit.” Lianan is a mountainous minority county characterized by “nine parts mountains, half part water, and half part farmland,” offering uniquely superior ecological conditions for growing Shatian pomelos. The area features deep, fertile soil and a mid-subtropical monsoon climate, with short winters, long summers, and fast transitions between spring and autumn—conditions that are very conducive to the growth of Shatian pomelos. In addition, Lianan’s unique microclimate, with significant day-night temperature variations, facilitates the accumulation of nutrients in the pomelos. Experts from the provincial fruit research institute have identified Lianan Shatian Pomelo as being of high quality and distinctive character. Thanks to their large size, appealing taste, sweetness, and superior quality, Lianan Shatian pomelos sell out every year before the Spring Festival, especially those from the Sandam Shatian Pomelo Orchard in Sanpai, Lianan.
