The lychee is a small, round tropical fruit with bumpy red skin and juicy white flesh. Native to the southern part of China, it has a sweet, floral flavor and is often enjoyed fresh or in desserts. Lychees grow in warm climates and are harvested in early summer. Popular in many Asian countries, they are also gaining global popularity for their unique taste and refreshing quality.
Maoming,a city in southwestern Guangdong province, S China, is the world’s largest lychee-producing region. One out of every five lychees globally comes from here, making it the "Hometown of Lychees." From May to July, the city buzzes with the vibrant lychee harvest.
Actions speak louder than words! Follow our reporters to Maomingfor an up-close exploration and experience the charm of these sweet, juicy fruits!
