Xiashen Tou Bingguo

Xiashen Tou Bingguo

　　Bingguo is beloved for its uniquely fragrant aroma. The Bingguo from Xiashen Tou boasts redder, thinner skin and a richer, more aromatic flavor. Its surface is covered with an extremely thin layer of white frost, resembling the rosy cheeks of a maiden veiled in a snow-white scarf—white with a hint of red, truly delightful to behold. Even more remarkably, the white frost will regenerate if wiped off, a trait not found in Bingguo from other regions. In the past, Xiashen Tou Bingguo was sold as far away as Jining, Fengzhen, and Baotou, filling the air with its fragrance along every step of the camel caravans. (Pingyuan)
