　　Yangguan Honey Peaches

　　Yangguan honey peaches, also known as Fenghua honey peaches, are pale red with translucent skin, thin-skinned yet plump-fleshed, small-seeded, juicy, sweet as honey, and highly nutritious. Each peach is about the size of a fist, with larger ones weighing over 0.25 kilograms. Before liberation, they were popular in the local area as well as in Jinhua and Wuyi. In recent years, they have been exported to Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Shanghai, Fujian, and other areas.

　　Yangguan honey peaches, also called "Jiami peaches," originated when a man named Huang Laosi introduced them from Fenghua in 1936. After careful grafting and cultivation, he developed over 1,000 peach trees. The orchard gradually expanded, reaching peak production in the late 1950s.

　　Due to their exceptional quality, these honey peaches are often marketed under the name “Yongkang peaches” by sellers from other regions.
