It has been a good season in May to taste cherry! The ruby-like cherries are so fascinating that you can not help tasting. Let us go to the world of Shanhaiguan online celebrity fruit - the cherries.
It has been a history of more than 30 years since the cherry was introduced to Shanhaiguan District. There are more than 20 major varieties, with specific qualities, such as large size, fresh color, plenty of juice, moderate sweetness and acidity, delicious fragrance, and so on. Shanhaiguan District has been awarded the title of “Hometown of Cherries in China” by the State Forestry Administration.
Located between 39°and 40°north latitude, Shanhaiguan is very suitable for the growth and breeding of cherries because of the slightly acidic soil and mild climate. After years of cultivation and development, Shanhaiguan has become the main cherry producing area in Hebei Province, which is well-known with Yantai in Shandong Province and Dalian in Liaoning Province in north China.
