新疆的蟠桃熟了 It's the best time to taste China Flat Peach

Where is the most delicious flat peach in the world?

The China Flat Peach (蟠桃 pan tao) originated(起源于) in Xinjiang Province. The melting water from the glaciers of Tianshan Mountain provides(提供) the flat peach with fresh water, making the peach much juicier(多汁) and sweeter(甜).

Chinese believe the China Flat Peach brings(带来) health(健康) and luckiness(幸运). Now, it is a symbol(符号) of Xinjiang and the local people hold an International Peach Festival to attract(吸引) visitors during the peach harvest(收获).
