Tourist Pan Chengxiang:
I picked some of them for my family to try, and I just ate a lot of them, and they were very delicious.
The abundant harvest of apricots not only brought considerable economic income to the farmers, but also injected new vitality into the development of characteristic industries in Anguo Town. The history of planting apricot trees in Anguo Town has been thousands of years, because of its unique geographical and natural environment, the cultivated apricots have low crude fiber content, high carotenoid content, and outstanding health care functions. Today, the noble concubine apricots in Anguo Town have become a new "apricot" business card in the local area, and have won the reputation of "the most expensive apricot". At present, the planting area of Guifei apricots in Anguo Town has developed to more than 1,200 acres, and it is expected that more than 200 catties of Guifei apricots can be harvested this year, and the comprehensive income can reach more than 10 million yuan.
