#LingnanSpecialty Planting in spring and harvesting in autumn is common almost everywhere, but, for its unique climate, Gaobu, Dongguan witnesses both planting and harvesting at the same time in spring.

In mid-spring, the 30 mu of pearl guavas in Luxi Village, Gaobu Town are ready to reap, creating a majestic harvest scene with thousands of guavas in the field. Walking into the guava garden in Luxi Village, you can find the fragrance of guavas bending branches. Farmers are seen busy picking fresh fruits for sale.

"The climate in Guangdong is warm and humid, and there are two harvest seasons for guava a year. The first season is from mid-March to early May, and the second lasts from mid-July to early September," said Aunt Mei, who is in charge of the garden, while picking guavas. "During the peak harvest season, more than 1,000 catties of guavas can be collected in the garden every day, and the current crop can reach 30,000 catties."
