Taste of summer: Watermelon festival opens in Liangshan
China DailyOfficials introduce the watermelon industry in Liangshan county at the opening ceremony for the Huanghetan Watermelon Festival on June 17. The Huanghetan Watermelon Festival kicked off in Jining's Liangshan county on June 17. Huanghetan watermelons are juicy and sweet, and have mushy pulp, thin peels, few seeds, and plenty of nutrients such as vitamin C, malic acid, amino acids, and lycopene, thanks to the fertile sandy soil along the river banks and natural irrigation provided by Yellow River water. The "Huanghetan Watermelon" is a National Geographic Indication trademark and Liangshan county has strengthened policy support and beefed up promotional efforts to enhance the fruit's fame, said Shen Zhengguo, director of the county's agriculture and rural affairs bureau.
