Hello everyone, I am Guizhou Huazai, click on the top right "follow", share a different story with you every day, like remember to point a follow it!
These two days, the streets, shops and farmers' markets are selling big black, red, black and red cherries, and if you don't look closely, you think it's a cherry.
These large cherries are not shipped from the mainland, they are all locally produced.
From the layer of sand on the surface of the cherry, it is known that this is a specialty of southern Xinjiang.
That's right, in Shache County, Kashgar, Xinjiang, nearly 45,000 acres of cherries have been planted.
On the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, drought and lack of water, and it does not rain several times a year, it is not easy to grow such a large area of cherries.
It is also a local agricultural tourism project, attracting tourists from the surrounding area and all over the country to pick cherries every year.
I bought 130 yuan from someone I met at the farmer's market the other day, and the acquaintance price was 30 yuan / kg.
Today, there are many fruit stalls on the side of the road that are also selling Shache big cherries, and I went to ask for 50 yuan / kg.
This price is a little more expensive than many cherries in the mainland. But it's worth the price.
It is said that it is irrigation with snow water from the Tianshan Mountains, and the perennial sandstorms require frequent manual management and fertilization.
The quality of this cherry can also be seen, very good. Big and red, the surface is smooth, the cherry taste is also particularly good, the juice is more, coupled with the large temperature difference between day and night in Xinjiang, it must be very sweet.
If you have time, you can also go to the cherry orchard in Shachemicha Town to pick it yourself and experience the fun of cherry picking.
Shache's tourism industry is also developing particularly well, not only can you pick cherries, but also the starry sky room of the self-driving camp, self-service barbecue. The dining and entertainment facilities are complete.
And the time when Shache planted cherries is also in this ten years.
Since 2002, when Shache County inspected the market, it was found that the cherry industry had a good benefit in the mainland, while the cherry planting in Xinjiang had just started, and the market potential was large, so it decisively introduced new varieties of cherries, cherry saplings were distributed free of charge, and technicians were also sent to guide planting on the spot.
It is said that the local people water, fertilize, and spray according to the requirements of the technicians, but after a year, the cherry tree is growing taller and taller, but it does not hang fruit, which is called a hurry. Many farmers were in a hurry and almost cut down the cherry trees.
In the seventh year, some small red fruits were sporadically produced on the cherry trees, and the sweet and sour cherries were tasted, and everyone saw hope.
In 2018, relying on the boutique cherry orchard, Mixia Town vigorously developed rural tourism, and registered the "Mixia Red" big cherry trademark, holding a series of activities such as cherry blossom festival, cherry picking festival, and food festival.
Thanks to the government's long-term vision, we can now eat fresh big cherries in Xinjiang.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, go to the cherry orchard in Shache Mixia Town with your family and experience the fun of cherry picking.
