Maoming Gaozhou | What's it like to eat lychees in a lychee orchard?

Sisters, the first batch of lychees for 2024 has hit the market, and the most enjoyable way to eat them isn't the empress's method of having them rushed over thousands of miles by galloping horses, but to visit the lychee plantation and feast in the lychee orchard itself. 📍Departing from Guangzhou 🚗About three and a half hours by car 🚄Two hours by high-speed train to Dianbai, then another hour by bus It's recommended to drive yourself, as the lychee garden is huge, connecting several local villages. Once there, you'll find that dozens of villages in the entire area are cultivating lychees. You can chat with the lychee farmers (if they're not too busy), and they will take you to their own lychee gardens. The hospitable farmers will even pick some for you to squat under the lychee trees and taste. They'll also tell you that 'one lychee, three fires' is true, and to avoid getting 'heaty', just eat more. Hahaha, not sure if it's true, but maybe that's the wisdom of the working people. Besides the vast lychee orchards, you can also visit the Lychee Park to see lychee trees that are hundreds of years old. The fruit they bear can be auctioned off. If you happen to come across an auction, it's quite the lively event. The main lychee varieties here are Baitangying and Feizixiao, featuring a sour and sweet taste, which is said to have been the favorite flavor of ancient concubines~
