As the origin of citrus cultivation in Shanghai, Shanghai Changxing Island has been focusing on improving citrus cultivation technology. After more than 60 years of technical accumulation, the "avant-garde honey orange" with unique taste and unique flavor and more popular in the Yangtze River Delta market has been planted and exported overseas all year round because of its excellent taste quality.
Shanghai Citrus Festival has been held for 30 years since it was first held in 1991, and has brought new vitality and breakthroughs to the local citrus industry every year, relying on the Shanghai Avant-garde Citrus Characteristic Industry under Shanghai Avant-garde Industry, fully excavating the citrus cultural heritage of Avant-garde Farms, and further creating a win-win situation in which the citrus industry and the eco-cultural tourism industry develop in synergy.
This year's Shanghai Citrus Festival is more exciting than in the past, promoting citrus culture while experiencing the "new way of playing" citrus, combining traditional citrus picking with tourism festivals. Last year's first popular Orange Treasure Games are once again on schedule this year, and many citrus-themed sports have been set up on the shores of Huaxi Lake, which are loved by tourists. The first citrus science research route was also launched at the same time, with the theme of "small citrus, big economy", personally designed by the scientific research team of Shanghai Citrus Research Institute, in the context of "double reduction", using four weekends for parents and children to learn popular science knowledge in the orange forest, in the citrus museum and personally participate in exploring the mystery of citrus growth.
With the theme of "Developing Urban Agriculture and Building Ecological Chongming", the 5th China North Rim Citrus Industry Development Forum will also be held in November, and many domestic experts and scholars from related industries will gather in Shanghai Changxing Island - Shanghai Citrus Research to seek industrial development, share scientific research and economic transformation results, and explore the development mode of citrus industry in China's northern rim region and the development direction of urban citrus industry according to local conditions.
