Gudang Pears

　　In late autumn, visitors from afar who taste the “Gudang Pear” can’t stop singing its praises. They acclaim its superior quality, thin skin, tender flesh, juicy texture, and sweet flavor.

The “Gudang Pear” is grown in Gudang Township, Maji District, Fugong County, and stands out among the many fruits of the Nujiang River Gorge, often hailed as a premium fruit. It features large fruit, thin skin, white flesh, abundant juice, and sweet taste. Due to its high quality, it is often used by the Lisu people in wedding ceremonies or to entertain guests from afar. Gudang pear trees usually bloom in spring, bear fruit in summer, ripen in August and September, and can be stored until November and December. In early summer, rows of Gudang pear trees are covered in snow-white blossoms that dazzle the eye; in early winter, their leaves turn fiery red like tea leaves, creating a richly colorful and uniquely beautiful scene. The Gudang Pear is not only an outstanding fruit tree but also an ornamental tree that beautifies the landscape.
