Zhangzhou Phoenix Mountain

　　Introduction   　Lychee Sea is located in Jiuhu Town, Longhai City, about 5 kilometers from downtown Zhangzhou. The rocks on the mountain resemble a phoenix, hence the name. A lychee-viewing pavilion is built nearby. Every July and August, the hills are covered with lush green waves of lychee trees, dotted with clusters of bright red fruits, presenting a unique view of a subtropical orchard.

　　      Local farmers have been growing lychees for over 500 years. Currently, the planted area covers 15,000 mu, with an annual output of up to 220,000 dan at its peak. Premium varieties include Wuye, Lanzhu, Zaohong, and Lvhebao. In Jiuhu Village, there is a 500-year-old “King Lychee Tree” that remains lush and yields up to 4,200 jin per year.
