Pomegranate Top: It is called "Anar" in Uygur language, and the pomegranate in Yecheng County, the hometown of pomegranate, is the most famous. Yecheng County is located at the northern foot of Kunlun Mountain, with short frost period, long sunshine time, large temperature difference between day and night and good soil quality, which is very suitable for pomegranate growth. Yecheng pomegranate is red and sweet, which is called melon and melon in ancient times and "Kuhong" in Uygur language. Hami melon is only produced in Xinjiang and Dunhuang, Gansu in China. On 1228, the book Journey to the West in Changchun first mentioned the existence of this kind of melon in Xinjiang, praising that "cantaloupes are like pillows, but their fragrance is not as good as that in China", and returning to Xinjiang on1228: "Since Kangxi, Hayi surrendered, this melon has been a tribute, named bee melon." Except for a few alpine regions, Hami melons are produced in most areas of Xinjiang, and high-quality Hami melons are produced in Shixian, Hami and Turpan basins in southern Xinjiang. Shihezi area is also very good, Hami, Xinjiang. There are more than 180 varieties and types of melons. Melons are large and small, with different shapes and pulp colors, weighing more than ten kilograms. It is as small as a coconut and weighs less than one kilogram. Melons are mostly oval in shape. The oblate epidermis has yellow, green, brown and white, and there are various stripes on the epidermis. The sound and flesh color of spots are milky white and yellow. Orange, red and green; In addition, there are early-maturing summer melons and late-maturing winter melons. When stored, the wax gourd hidden by local people in Xinjiang can be put in the next spring, and it is still fresh and edible. It has been cultivated for two thousand years. In the "Miscellanies of Xijing" in the fifth century BC, it was said: "The pears in the vast sea are cold-resistant but not withered." In the past dynasties, it was enjoyed as a tribute by emperors and princes. In Journey to the West, the ginseng fruit stolen by Pig Bajie is said to be Korla fragrant pear. Korla fragrant pear has the characteristics of rich aroma, thin skin and fine meat, crispness, more juice and less residue, bright color and so on. It not only has nutritional value, but also can be used as medicine. Mainly because it is cold and sweet, it has the effects of "moistening the lungs, cooling the heart, eliminating diseases, detoxifying and generating sores, detoxifying, slicing, and sticking heat to relieve pain". Korla Fragrant Pear has won many awards in China, and is known as "China Honey Pear", "Treasure in Pear" and "Prince in Fruit" in the international market. In the pear blossom season, tens of thousands of acres of pears are competing to open, and white pears are covered with branches, as if snow is quietly coming. Every season, people who go hiking will stop in the garden or visit pear farmers to experience the rich pear figs belonging to Moraceae, which are hidden in the receptacle because of their small flowers, also known as hidden flowers and fruits. Ficus carica originated in West Asia and was introduced to China around the Tang Dynasty. It is called "Ayi" in history books and "Angel" in Uighur. Ficus carica contains high fructose, fruit acid, protein, vitamins and other ingredients, and has the functions of nourishing, moistening intestines, stimulating appetite and promoting lactation. Widely cultivated in Tarim Basin, Atushi is the most widely planted, with an annual output of more than 200 mu of fruit. At that time, the fruit was sweet, juicy and fragrant. Bananas in Lingnan are more beautiful than shredded coconut with cream. Besides fresh fruit, it can also be used as dried fruit and jam. Fig, a kind of fruit tree with dioecious flowers, is named because the flowers are hidden in the capsule receptacle, and the appearance is only fruit without flowers. The fruit is flat and round, with yellow skin, soft pulp, rich nutrition and sweet fruit as honey. In addition to eating, fruit can also strengthen the stomach and clear the intestines, reduce swelling and detoxify. The fruit of fig is very fresh and tender, and it is not easy to store and transport. Most locals use it to dry dried fruits and transport them to other places. Apricot tip: called "Yuluke" in Uygur language, it is one of the widely loved fruits. There are many kinds of apricots in Xinjiang, with thick skin and rich juice, which are sweet and nutritious. In addition to fresh apricots, dried apricots can also be dried, and some places are also processed into preserved apricots and preserved apricots.

Kuqa apricot is not only delicious, but also sweet. In addition to selling fresh apricot, Kuqa apricot can also be processed into dried apricot, stuffed apricot and other cherries, which is the earliest mature fruit tree variety among deciduous fruit trees in northern China. In late spring and early summer, when there was a shortage of fresh fruit in the fruit market, China cherry was first supplied to the market to make up for the vacancy in the early fruit market, and then big cherry was listed, which was connected with strawberry, early-maturing peach and apricot, and played a special role in regulating the off-season of fresh fruit, balancing the supply of fruit throughout the year and meeting people's needs. Cherry fruit is bright in color, crystal and beautiful, with soft and juicy flesh, delicious taste and rich nutrition, which makes people fondle it.
