　　Nanshan Radish

　　Grown in a pollution-free vegetable production base at an altitude of 1,500 meters in Weijiang Township, its characteristics include: a cylindrical shape, white flesh, and a crisp, tender, sweet, and delicious texture. It can be eaten raw in salads, used as an ingredient in hot pot or soup, and serves as a great addition to various dishes. It also has health benefits such as clearing phlegm, soothing the throat, promoting urination, and relieving diarrhea. The locally produced dried radish, made from fresh radishes, is a pure green food product — crisp, tender, refreshing, with an enticing aroma and unique flavor. This product is available on the market from late August to late October each year, with an annual supply of 2.5 million kilograms of fresh radishes.

　　In recent years, the Longsheng Various Nationalities Autonomous County has increased technical and financial support, encouraging residents from impoverished areas to migrate to Nanshan, known as the “Southern Siberia,” for comprehensive agricultural development. Thanks to the fertile soil and fresh air, the radishes grown here are of premium quality, becoming a delicacy on dining tables and in high demand. To date, new residents settled in Nanshan cultivate an average of over 20 acres of Nanshan Radish per household, with the largest farming up to 200 acres. Nanshan Radish has completely transformed the living conditions of the people in Nanshan.
