Located in Nanzhuang Township, Dingxiang County, along the banks of the Fenyang River. Surrounded by four mountains and situated in a low-lying area, it enjoys a mild climate, abundant water sources, and fertile soil, creating a unique microclimate that makes it the only persimmon-producing region in the area. With over 60 years of cultivation history, the persimmons of Dongyu are best known for the Mopan variety. Besides being eaten fresh, they can be made into dried persimmons, persimmon cakes, persimmon fillings, wine, and vinegar. Eating fresh persimmons has medicinal benefits, such as lowering blood pressure, treating stomachaches, and counteracting alcohol toxicity. The Mopan persimmon and Chicken Heart persimmon from North China are famous and important local specialties. Persimmon blossoms also serve as an excellent source of nectar.
