Lychee Trip #1 - Lichi World




Located in the Shenzhen province of China on the western side of lake Xili. This facility is the EPCOT center of lychee production. Here's a Chingrish quote from the site:
With a total planting area of 2,500 mous, the production base is well equipped with a perfect traffic system, communication system, water supply system, electricity supply system, fertilizer supply system as well as a modernized medicine spraying system, in which an over 60-hektare demonstration park is specially outfitted with a state-of-the-art automatic drip irrigation system in the world. Then the agricultural base constructed according to “3 High” standards has been becoming increasingly perfect.
The facility has 60 hectares of "demonstration park" that, if my metric conversions are right is about 148 football fields of lychee trees. That alone is reason enough to go. Here's the site.
