Leidian "Guoxing" Watermelon

Leidian "Guoxing" Watermelon

　　 Watermelons originated in the West and were introduced to China from Arabia. As early as the Tang Dynasty, watermelons gained attention for their sweet taste, juiciness, and ability to relieve summer heat. Leidian is located on the Hangjiahu Plain, known as "Paradise on Earth," and enjoys a subtropical monsoon climate with distinct seasons, warm and moist conditions, abundant sunlight, and fertile soil — all ideal for watermelon cultivation. The mini watermelon variety "Texingfeng" averages 1–1.5 kilograms per fruit. It features a thin rind, golden-yellow flesh, tender texture, crispness, sweetness, juiciness, and excellent mouthfeel — perfect for families of three. The larger varieties "Jingxin" and "Zhengbao" weigh around 4 kilograms each, making them suitable for hotels, restaurants, banquet halls, formal dinners, and conference catering. The pollution-free "Leidian Guoxing Watermelon" is grown using advanced techniques such as greenhouse cultivation, electric heating for seedling breeding, and formula fertilization with an emphasis on organic fertilizers. Sales run from mid-May to late June. "Leidian Guoxing Watermelon" emphasizes quality and enjoys a high reputation in the Huzhou area. All commercial melons carry a "green label."
