Zizhou Apples

Zizhou Apples

　　Zizhou apples are a specialty of Zizhou County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province. The county lies in one of the best regions for mountain-grown apples in China. Compared to apples from other well-known production areas such as Luochuan and Huanglong, Zizhou apples are known for their vibrant color, high sugar content, and rich, authentic flavor, making them highly favored by consumers.

　　Thanks to its distinctive geographical and climatic advantages, Zizhou County has taken full advantage of the historic opportunity presented by the northward relocation of Shaanxi’s fruit production bases. The county has ramped up promotional efforts and vigorously advanced the development of mountain apple orchards, following a "one village, one product" approach to fruit industry growth. To date, Zizhou has developed 110,000 mu (approximately 7,333 hectares) of apple orchards, with around 86,000 mu currently bearing fruit, making apple cultivation a key component of the county’s distinctive agricultural sector.
