Introduction to Shijie Longan

Longan, also known as longan, is an evergreen tree in the Sapindaceae family, with a height of 8-15 meters. It blooms in spring and bears fruit in summer. It is a tropical fruit native to southern China and one of the famous Lingnan fruits

Various towns and districts in Dongguan City vigorously promote the planting of longan, with Shijie longan being the most popular variety. Shijie longan is popular for its large fruit shape, thin skin, thick flesh, sweet and crisp taste, and rich nutrition. According to the announcement of the first batch of ancient and famous trees in Dongguan City on July 4, 2003, there are a total of 17 second - and third grade ancient dragon eye trees distributed in towns such as Nancheng, Fenggang, Tangxia, Qingxi, Dalang, Qiaotou, Humen, Hongmei, Zhongtang, and Shijie in Dongguan City. The oldest surviving trees are two longan trees located in Yongkou Village, Shijie, which are 300 years old. This shows that longan has a long history of planting and is widely distributed in Dongguan. During the Republic of China period, Dongguan was one of the main longan producing areas in Guangdong.
