Lingnan: Beauty Beyond Borders | Huazhou, located in the heartland of Maoming in western Guangdong, is an ancient city known for Huajuhong, a rare medicinal fruit. The fruit, once presented as a tribute to the emperor, has been grown here for centuries on mineral-rich soil.From ancient materia medica to bustling markets, from intangible cultural heritage to a billion-yuan industry, the story of Huajuhong has become a unique Lingnan legend written across generations. Reporters visit Huazhou to explore the cultural legacy of Lingnan amid the lingering fragrance of Huajuhong. One fruit carries a thousand years of heritage, while one region blossoms with new vitality. Using Huajuhong as its link, Huazhou preserves the spirit of traditional herbal wisdom, carries forward intangible craftsmanship, and promotes the integrated development of agriculture, culture and tourism—writing a new chapter for the ancient city as part of Guangdong’s green development. #SplendidLingnan
