Add a Splash of Color to Your Travel - Gongcheng Hongyan Village Persimmon Festival.

The most famous persimmons in Gongcheng are found in the Hongyan Scenic Area of Lianhua Town, which includes Hongyan Village and Zhushan Village. If you just want to casually browse the Hongyan Scenic Area, one day is enough. Almost everyone in the village has a few trees for viewing, and they also have several acres of persimmon fields. Every year, they make a cut on the persimmon trees. There are knife marks at the roots of the trees, which serve two purposes: to calculate the age and to prevent the fruits from falling. It is said that after making the cut, the fruits will not fall off until the Spring Festival. You can check this by looking at the tree trunks yourself to see if this claim is true 😊. The yellow-orange persimmons on the tree are not edible as they are very astringent. The red ones are edible, but be prepared to compete with the birds, as they are the best at identifying which fruits are ripe. The persimmons we usually eat are processed. In the past, they were treated with lime water, but now they are placed in large vacuum boxes for 40-60 hours. The difference between crispy and juicy persimmons lies in the processing method. When we visited, every household was drying persimmons. Persimmons can be eaten directly or made into dried persimmons, which come in round, rose-shaped, patterned, block, and slice forms. To make dried persimmons, you first need to peel them. Nowadays, there are machines to help with peeling. The rotating machine peels the persimmons with a single cut. Then, they are left to dry in the sun for many days. Whether they are dry or not depends on the middle part. Persimmons are valuable in every part. The dried persimmon peels are collected by factories to feed cattle. The fallen persimmon leaves can be used to make tea. Transportation Guide: How to get to Gongcheng 1. High-speed rail 2. 3. Chartered car Chartering a car is the most convenient method for group or family trips. If you have more time, you can visit several of the most beautiful autumn sceneries together, such as Haiyang. After enjoying a splash of red, you can appreciate a splash of gold, which is really pleasant. Practical Tips: 1. Clothing Color Tested white or red. You can choose white if there are persimmon trees and bamboo forests. Consider red for Zhu's old house. 2. Sunset You can watch it from the pavilion on Matou Mountain. 3. Persimmons Take photos from a high point for blocks, and from a horizontal point for lines. 4. Accommodation It is recommended to book in advance. Many people ask if there are rooms available, but most of the time there are none. 5. Dining The local farmhouses offer good food, featuring local specialties like free-range chicken and old duck.
