🍒 Have you ever tried a lychee? Imagine one that’s twice as big and super juicy! In Yongxing Town, located in Haikou city, China, farmers are growing special lychees called “volcanic lychees.”
🌋 These lychees grow in volcanic rock soil, which is rich in minerals. That’s like giving the lychee trees a supercharged vitamin boost! This area has been growing lychees for over a thousand years.
🍈 The “volcanic lychee king” is a special variety known for its huge size, thick flesh, and amazing flavor. They’re twice as big as regular lychees! Isn’t that cool?
🚚 Right now, it’s harvest time! Farmers pick the lychees and take them to a modern center where they sort and pack them. They use cold storage to keep the lychees fresh.
🌐 These delicious lychees aren’t just enjoyed in China. They are sent to places all over the world, like Canada, Singapore, Japan, and even Morocco!
👩🌾 This sweet fruit is helping local farmers earn more money. By selling the lychees to more places, they are improving their lives and their community. Isn’t it amazing how a tiny fruit can make a big difference?
