As the harvest season just arrives, in Shaanxi, foodies will definitely have their fun 'harvesting' all kinds of delicacies.

When it comes to delicacy spotting, apart from those really local restaurants or the time-honored shops hidden in the alleys, as a foodie, you actually have many other options, such as the local fruits particularly grown in Shaanxi.

So today, let me present you this fruit feast in Shaanxi~

         

As the southern region of Shaanxi reaches Qinling Mountains in the north and leans towards the Bashan Mountain in the south, also with the Hanjiang River running through from the west to the east, the featured climate of the Qinba landscape is thus formed, adding extra nutrition to the already juicy fruits, which grow with great sweetness.

As the core region of China's Loess Plateau, northern Shaanxi enjoys plentiful sunshine and  distinct seasons. Taking advantage of the unique geographical conditions, local people have planted fruit trees in ravines and valleys, making northern Shaanxi the main producer of red dates and apples in China.
