　　Kiwi Pomelo comes in two varieties: Kuifu Red Heart Pomelo and White Heart Winter Melon Pomelo. It has a unique flavor, is rich in vitamins, and keeps well, often referred to as a “natural canned fruit.” The fruit is relatively large, typically weighing between 1 to 3 pounds per piece. It has a light yellow rind, thin skin, intense aroma, tender and juicy pulp that is easy to separate, a richly sweet taste, high water content, and overall good quality. Kiwi Pomelo from Fengjie has been famous since ancient times, esteemed as one of the region’s renowned pomelos over 2,000 years ago. According to the Han Dynasty’s *Records of Shu*, “The pomelos of Kuizhou surpass even those of Yangzhou.” During the Tang Dynasty, Kiwi Pomelo was listed as a tribute item, later becoming an imperial delicacy through successive dynasties. In the 15th year of the Republic of China, it was introduced to Liangping and was named one of Chongqing’s “Top Ten Pomelos” in 1998.
