SHEXIAN, May 24 (Xinhua) -- The cultivation of loquats in Zhangtan, Miantan and Yuetan villages of Shexian County dates back more than 800 years and remains a signature industry that helps local people increase their income. Loquats grown here are famous for being thin-skinned, fleshy, sweet and juicy. The typical loquat harvest season falls in May when the weather is suitable for picking, sorting and selling loquat fruits.
