Sweet fruits like pineapples, grapes, wax apples, and dragon fruit grown in Jinwan District have entered their harvest season in the summer. Here is a list of recommended places for people to find these tasty fruits.

Shine Muscat is a predominant green grape variety that originated from Japan. Compared with common green grapes, the species is larger, with each one weighing around 7 to 9 grams. It tastes crispy and juicy with a faint fragrance.

Zhuhai Xiachangzhang Agricultural Development and Yuefeng Orchard are two places in Pingsha Town that have started planting Shine Muscat in recent years. In addition, grape varieties, such as Kyoho and Summer Black, are also available in Pingsha.

Diamond pineapple, a high-quality variety that originated from Taiwan, is planted in many Pingsha orchards like Xiachangzhang Agricultural Development and Zhuhai Yinji Agricultural. The golden fruit has entered their ripe stage at just the right time for tasting after 18 months of growing.

A batch of yellow dragon fruit (pitaya) from Israel is now growing in Jinwan Hongyuan Orchard. Unlike the more commonly seen white-flesh species, the yellow pitaya tastes like ice cream after undergoing technique improvements.

Brown sugar wax apples, which were introduced from Taiwan to Jinwan this year, are now planted in Zhuhai Yinji Agricultural. This new variety has a larger size and fresher taste.
