China News Service, Dongguan, June 25 (Li Yingmin and Li Chun) The ancient Hakka town in Lingnan - Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan, Guangdong, held the 2022 Litchi Tourism and Culture Carnival series of cultural tourism activities on the 25th.
At the event, 28 "Goddess of Mercy Green" lychees picked from a 136-year-old "Guanyin Green" mother tree in Jinhe Community of the town were auctioned for a high price of 100,000 yuan, and the proceeds will be used for rural revitalization public welfare projects.
Jinhe Community and Yufeng Community in the southeast of Guanyin Mountain in Zhangmutou Town are famous for their "Guanyin Green" lychees. Their turquoise appearance and sweet taste different from ordinary lychees have become famous products in Lingnan lychees. In the 2021 National High-quality Lychee Competition, "Goddess of Mercy Green" won the gold and silver awards.
Affected by the continuous rainfall this year, the production of "Guanyin Green" lychees in Zhangmutou has been greatly reduced. The "Guanyin Green" lychees on the market are small in quantity and high in price, with a price of nearly 200 yuan per pound. The lychees borne by the ancient "Guanyin Green" trees for many years are particularly rare.
In the public auction of "Guanyin Green" lychees, local caring companies bid for each other. In the end, 28 "Guanyin Green" lychees picked from the 136-year-old "Guanyin Green" mother tree were auctioned for a high price of 100,000 yuan. , 28 "King of Guanyin Green" lychees picked from the 100-year-old "Guanyin Green" tree also sold for a high price of 98,000 yuan.
All proceeds from the auction will be used for public welfare projects that help rural revitalization.
In recent years, Zhangmutou Town, relying on the nearly 8,000 mu of "Guanyin Green" lychee planting land, has carefully created and promoted the "Zhangmutou Litchi Tourism and Culture Festival". This year's Zhangmutou Litchi Tourism and Culture Festival will continue to use "litchi" as the medium to open the Jiudong Forest Park Micro Horse There are 18 exciting activities such as the competition, the selection of "Guanyin Green" lychee image ambassadors and talent show, and the "First Lychee Vegetable Cooking Skills Competition", allowing tourists from all over the world to taste lychees, taste Hakka dishes, and feel the unique charm of the Lingnan Hakka town.
