Many Chinese people have recently been surprised to find that many types of food that they thought were imported from another country are actually grown or produced in northeast China. The northeastern area of the country has been getting lots of attention this winter. Many visitors come to its tourist attractions in search of ice and snow, and praise the hospitality (热情好客) of its people.
A group of eleven kindergarten children from Guangxi visited the northeastern province. The people of Heilongjiang took good care of the children. To show its thanks to them, Nanning sent 189 tons of mandarin oranges to Harbin. Heilongjiang then returned the gesture and sent 100,000 boxes of cranberries (蔓越莓) to Guangxi. The cranberries surprised a lot of Chinese people, even many from Heilongjiang Province. They didn’t realize that the fruit was grown there.
Cranberries were introduced from North America in 2014. Fuyuan City in Heilongjiang Province grows 280 hectares (公顷) of cranberries. It is one of the largest cranberry growing bases in Asia. Other types of berries grown in northeast China include blueberries and raspberries. Many people have also discovered that some precious foods, such as Wagyu beef, black truffles and caviar, are also produced in northeast China.
