In the heat of summer
There's nothing like a bite of sweet fruit that quenches your thirst
It's even more enjoyable!
Especially in a "furnace city" like Wuhan
The high temperature provides an excellent environment for the growth of melons and fruits
Even tropical fruits like dragon fruit
are perfectly adaptable
In New Zealand
Where can I find locally grown dragon fruit?
Let's take a look with Jinjin~

Even the orchard here is nourished by the Huashen Lake, and the vegetables and fruits are continuous all year round, from the peaches and grapes some time ago to the current dragon fruit, so that this place is full of harvest and sweetness!
The dragon fruit orchard in Huachaohe Bay covers an area of 6.5 acres, and it is a good time to pick dragon fruit at this moment.
The dragon fruits in the garden are like small fireballs, densely packed with trees, full of trees, and the growth is gratifying. The variety is red dragon fruit introduced from the Americas, and the biggest feature is high sweetness and sufficient moisture.
There are many small thorns on the rhizome of dragon fruit, and everyone must wear gloves when picking in the garden (provided by the park), otherwise one will accidentally have a "close contact" with it.
