　　Introduction: Chestnut Flat bayberries are a local specialty from Chestnut Flat in southern Shimian County, Sichuan. The Chestnut Flat Yi Ethnic Township is located in the southern part of Shimian County, bordering Ganluo County to the east, Yuexi County to the southeast, Mianning County to the south, and neighboring Anshun Yi Ethnic Township, Caluo Yi Ethnic Township, and Huilong Yi Ethnic Township to the north. The bayberries start off light red, then turn deep red, and eventually almost black. They don’t actually turn black but appear so because they are so intensely red. When you gently bite into one, you can see the fresh, red, tender flesh, while your lips and tongue are also stained with the bright red juice.
