Huangcao Cherries

Huangcao Cherries

　　Abundant sunlight, a favorable ecological environment, and rich local geographical conditions have endowed Miyi with a solid foundation of agricultural resources. Fruits and vegetables are two of Miyi’s standout agricultural specialties. Among its fruits, cherries stand out as a unique brand—available early in the season (from mid-March to the end of April each year), they are known for their bright color, pure flavor, and are widely loved by consumers, and are even exported to major cities such as Chengdu, Kunming, and Chongqing. Among them, the Huangcao cherries from Baima Town are especially notable. In March and April, Baima is lush with greenery and brimming with spring vibes, where clusters of green trees are dotted with bright red cherry blossoms.

　　The cherries produced here are large in size, brightly colored, richly flavored with a pleasant mix of sweet and sour, and leave a lingering aftertaste. The cherry cultivation area spans nearly 4,000 mu, with an annual yield of over 500,000 jin and an output value of close to 4 million yuan.

　　　Huangcao Cherries—the gem among Miyi’s fruits. As the “Huangcao Cherries” brand gained fame far and wide, it also established “picking cherries in Huangcao” as a popular tourism attraction.
