In midsummer, with the fragrance of ripe fruits in the air, Yingkou's orchards enter the peak harvest season for Prunus salicina, bringing bustling scenes of abundance to the countryside.

Blessed with ample sunshine and favorable soil conditions, Yingkou produces Prunus salicina, one of the region's most distinctive fruits. In summer, the orchards are lush with foliage, while branches hang heavy with plump fruit. Freshly picked plums reveal juicy yellow flesh beneath skins tinged with a delicate blush of pink, and fill the air with a rich, enticing aroma.

A region's natural environment gives rise to its unique produce. In Yingkou, this is embodied in the Prunus salicina plum, which owes its sweet and mellow taste to the local climate, soil, and water. The hard work of farmers in the fields yields the sweetness of fresh fruit, capturing a vivid and authentic picture of rural summer life in Yingkou.
