Yongxing Wampee is a geographical indication certification trademark.

Yongxing Wampee is an agricultural product geographical indication.

　　Haikou’s Yongxing Town is one of the world’s original birthplaces of wampee. Its wild wampee forests, which have existed for ages, form one of the global gene banks of wampee germplasm resources. Yongxing has vigorously developed its wampee industry, carefully selecting superior varieties from wild wampee forests for grafting, improvement, and domestication, continuously enhancing the quality of seedless wampee and large and small chicken-heart wampees, gradually expanding the planting scale, and even cultivating a unique local wampee variety found nowhere else in the world. This has truly made Yongxing wampee in Haikou “something no one else has—truly unique,” while also spreading the refreshing fragrance of Yongxing wampee across the entire island of Hainan. In 2016, Yongxing wampee was registered as a national geographical indication agricultural product trademark.

　　Yongxing Seedless Wampee: With no pits in the flesh, a single bite reveals tender, smooth fruit that is juicy, sweet, refreshing, and slightly tangy.

　　Yongxing Large Chicken-Heart: The fruit is chicken-heart shaped, large with relatively thick skin. The rind is waxy yellow and glossy, the flesh is firm, and the taste is sweet and mildly tangy with a unique honey-like aroma.

　　Yongxing Small Chicken-Heart: Compared to the larger chicken-heart wampee, the small version is smaller in size but has a higher edible rate. The flesh is yellowish-white, with a flavor that is both sweet and tangy, offering excellent sweetness and texture, and is of premium quality.
