Loquat is a common fruit in summer, and in Tangxi, there is a loquat-themed festival, which is the Tangxi Loquat Festival.

As the saying goes: In May, loquats are in full bloom in the forest, and now is the harvest season for loquats by Qiandao Lake. There are loquat forests all over the mountains and plains, with branches covered with golden fruits. The high-quality Qiandao Lake loquats have been certified by authorities.

In the 2010 Taihu Cup National High-quality Loquat Competition, two varieties of loquats, Soft Strip Baisha and Dahongpao, were even more impressive. Won three gold medals.

Loquat is a fruit native to China. Zhejiang loquat is not only found in Tangqi, but also in Ninghai, Huangyan, Xiangshan, Lanxi and Lishui. It is also the main production area where loquat is concentrated. Loquat is the fifth largest fruit in Zhejiang, second only to citrus, bayberry, grape and pear. Our province has a long history of loquat cultivation and rich germplasm resources.

Tangqi loquats generally mature gradually from west to east. Hong_cun is one of the earliest areas to mature. The existing loquat planting area is nearly a thousand acres. The soil here is particularly suitable for growing loquats, and it is the best place to produce the best soft white sand among Zhejiang white loquats. Currently, more than 50 farmers in the village carry out loquat picking tours.

Nowadays, the Tangxi Loquat Festival has evolved into a new choice for people when traveling. This festival has also attracted the attention of many people, making them focus on Tangxi.
