Xiaoliangshan Apples

　　Ninglang County, known as "Little Liangshan," enjoys a warm climate and abundant sunshine, making it highly suitable for apple cultivation. Xiaoliangshan apples are renowned both within and beyond the province for their bright color, large size, sweet taste, and juiciness. Among them, varieties such as "Golden Delicious," "Red Crown," and "Red Chief" are considered top-quality. They are available at Lijiang fruit markets, priced at around 8 yuan per jin. In 1990 and 1993, they twice won the top prize at the Yunnan Province Temperate Fruit Evaluation Competition. In 1995, they were awarded the Gold Medal at the Second National Agricultural Expo. The region is recognized as a premium apple-producing area in Yunnan, with its products exported as far as Southeast Asia.
