Shaya Jun Dates

Shaya Jun Dates

　　Shaya County is situated in the southwest of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and southeast of the Aksu region. It lies in a warm temperate desert fringe climate zone. It is greatly affected by the desert and sandy areas of neighboring counties to the north, such as Baicheng and Kuqa, as well as by the expansive Taklamakan Desert to the south. The area receives abundant sunshine all year, has plentiful heat, limited rainfall, a dry climate, and large day-night temperature differences. The prevailing winds throughout the year are from the north or northeast.

　　With an average annual sunshine duration of 3,031.2 hours, July sees the longest period at 308.3 hours, averaging 9.9 hours per day. The large diurnal temperature range, along with the dry climate, makes it unsuitable for the growth of pests and diseases. Moreover, the area is irrigated by the pure snowmelt from the Tianshan Mountains. For these reasons, Shaya County has long been known as the “Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall” and the “Land of Fruits and Melons.” With no pesticide residues or pollution, the Jun dates produced here are green, organic, healthy, and nutritious.

　　 Product Features: Jun dates are large in size, thin-skinned, thick-fleshed, plump, uniformly sized, dense in texture, sweet and juicy, brightly colored, high in sugar content, and exceptionally sweet. Their total sugar content exceeds 70%, with impurities not exceeding 0.5%. They are highly nutritious and beneficial to health, rich in various trace elements and amino acids, and are often referred to as “natural vitamin pills.”
