Siping Hawthorn

Siping Hawthorn

　　Yehhe has over a hundred large and small orchards, producing more than a million pounds of fruit annually. Among all the fruits, hawthorn is the most famous. The hawthorn here is large, thick-fleshed, delicious, and rich in various nutrients. There’s even a song about Yehhe’s big hawthorn. Apples come from southern Liaoning, melons from Xinjiang—our Yehhe City is abundant in big hawthorn. In spring, flowers bloom across the hills, filling the air with fragrance; in autumn, fruits hang like crimson clouds—red lanterns, oh, dangling thick and dense from the branches. Walk beneath the trees, but watch your head, or you might get bonked. Southern Liaoning apples are sweet, Xinjiang melons are big, but Yehhe’s big hawthorn is a treasure praised by all. Brew a bowl of hawthorn slices—it’s better than West Lake Longjing tea. Chew a hawthorn pill, and it soothes the liver, strengthens the stomach, and aids digestion.
