Nanguo Pear

Nanguo Pear

　　The Nanguo Pear is one of China's top ten famous pears and a specialty of Taobei District. Situated at 45.5°N latitude and 122.5°E longitude, the district has a mid-temperate continental monsoon climate. The area experiences cold winters, hot summers, abundant rainfall, dry air, and large day-night temperature variations, along with plentiful sunshine — making it one of the few classic cold-climate deciduous fruit production regions. Taobei District is the cultivation base of the Nanguo Pear, and its unique growing conditions give the fruit its distinctive quality. The Nanguo Pears produced here are yellow with a red blush, high in sugar content, rich in acidity, pleasantly sweet and sour, with tender flesh, full flavor, and a strong aroma — making them an excellent choice to serve to guests.
