Chengxiang Strawberries

　　The strawberries produced in Chengxiang, Xinning, also known as red berries or ground berries, belong to the perennial herbaceous plants of the Rosaceae family. They have a long fruiting and harvesting period, lasting from December of the current year to May of the following year. The strawberries are large in size, with individual fruits weighing up to 30–40 grams. They are round or heart-shaped, with a bright, vivid red color and glossy appearance. The flesh is juicy, sweet and tangy in flavor, richly aromatic, and stand out among fruits for their exceptional color, aroma, and taste—earning them the title “Queen of Fruits.” Strawberries are highly nutritious, rich in various vitamins, and offer benefits such as aiding digestion, strengthening gums, freshening breath, soothing the throat, moistening the lungs and generating body fluids, strengthening the spleen, relieving summer heat, reducing fever, promoting urination, and quenching thirst. They are a popular health snack today. In addition to being eaten fresh as a healthy fruit, strawberries can also be used to make fruit wines, jams, and more, making them highly versatile.

　　 Chengxiang and Chonghe in Xinning Town are located in the suburbs of Fusui County, nestled against mountains and water, with fertile land and abundant water and heat—providing ideal regional conditions for strawberry cultivation. In response to the large consumer base in the county and surrounding cities, over 1,000 acres of premium and newly introduced strawberry varieties have been planted in recent years. These are mainly supplied for “agritainment” picking activities and bulk sales for direct consumption. The products are in high demand and loved by consumers of all backgrounds.
