Youjiang Valley Mango Orchards
右江河谷芒果园
Baise is known as the 'Hometown of Chinese Mangoes', and the hills along the Youjiang Valley, in Tianyang and Tiandong, are covered with mango orchards. In summer you can pick and taste more than a dozen varieties.
The Youjiang Valley is hot and sunny, making it an important mango-growing region in China. Baise mangoes carry national geographical indication protection, and the hills along both banks of the river in Tianyang, Tiandong and Youjiang District are covered with orchards. Harvest season runs from June to August, when varieties such as Tainong, Jinhuang and Guiqi (Gui No. 7) come onto the market. You can pick your own fruit at the orchards or buy mangoes at the Tianyang mango wholesale market. Some villages hold mango festivals. Most orchards are run by farming households or cooperatives, and prices vary, so it is best to contact them in advance. The summer heat is intense, so protect yourself from the sun and heatstroke. The coordinates are taken from a photo location in the Youjiang Valley in Tianyang.
