Litchi, known as the "king of fruits", is abundant in Conghua, Zengcheng and several suburbs of Guangzhou. Its fruit shape is unique, its face is red and pleasing to the eye, its pulp is like jelly, and it is sweet and rich. Excellent varieties include glutinous rice paste, cinnamon flavor, princess smile, hanging green and so on. Among them, the number of Huai branches is the largest, accounting for 70% to 80% of the total output. Litchi is a precious fruit in subtropical zone and one of the four famous fruits in Lingnan. It originated in southern China and has been cultivated for more than 2000 years. At present, there are more than 100 litchi varieties in China, including more than 60 in Guangzhou alone. The quality of cinnamon glutinous rice paste is the best. Guiwei is attractive for its crisp and sweet meat, while glutinous rice paste is famous for its small core, thick meat and rich juice. In the past, it was called "Three Unique Litchi" together with "Bicun Glutinous Rice Paste", "Luogang Guiwei" and "Zengcheng Gualv". Among the three outstanding figures, "Zengcheng Guaqing" is the most precious and has been listed as a tribute by the court.
