Zixi Mountain Cherries

Zixi Mountain Cherries

　　Zixi Mountain cherries are a specialty of Chuxiong City, Chuxiong Prefecture, Yunnan Province. The cherries from Zixi Mountain are large, brightly colored, rich in flavor, ripen slowly, and turn red late, making them truly pollution-free green fruit.

　　The cultivation of cherries on Zixi Mountain has been ongoing for more than 50 years up to this year, and they are now primarily grown in the Tea Garden and Hanfeng Ecological Park within the Zixi Mountain scenic area, as well as in surrounding villages such as Zijin Village and Hongqiang Longba Village. Due to the clean and unpolluted growing environment, Zixi Mountain cherries are truly pollution-free green fruit. They feature an oval purplish-red exterior, thick flesh, small pits, and juicy interiors. They ripen annually between Grain Rain and Start of Summer, spanning only about 20 days.
