Introduction to Naomaohu Hami Melon

The Naomaohu Farm of the 13th Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps is located in Yiwu County, Hami Prefecture, known as the "eastern gateway" of Xinjiang, adjacent to Mongolia to the north. It is the most remote border farm of the 13th Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. The geographical location of Naomaohu Farm is very unique. It is located in the middle of the ancient Naomaohu Lake and is a closed mountain structure faulted basin. It is also one of the seven famous wind zones in Xinjiang. This place is extremely hot in summer, with an average temperature higher than Hami during the growing season. The temperature difference between day and night is large, with an average daily temperature difference of over 10 ℃ and a maximum daily temperature difference of over 25 ℃. The light and heat conditions are second to none in Xinjiang, with an annual sunshine duration of 3326 hours. These unique climatic conditions are the key to obtaining high-quality, high sugar, and high yield Hami melons in Naomao Lake, and are also the most favorable conditions for Hami melons compared to other regions. Therefore, after the first batch of late maturing Hami melons were successfully planted on this ancient land in 1997, they became the flagship of another family of Hami melons - "Naomaohu Hami Melons" - due to their unique rich and sweet aroma, delicate and delicious taste, golden color, and mellow and sweet taste
