The best producing areas of Dangshan crisp pear are Liliang Town, Garden and Dangshan Orchard. There is sandy land alluvial by the Yellow River, and the pears produced are delicious. In other places, the pear skin is thick and slag, and the taste is poor. By the way: my home is in the core area of Lishuwang.
Dangshan crisp pears are not only fresh, but also in stock, and pears are eaten all year round. Every year, many Dangshan fruit farmers boil some pear paste, and now Dangshan pear paste has become a necessary local product for tourists.

I'm from Dangshan county, very good!
The old course of the Yellow River, Dangshan crisp pear pure land.
Dangshan crisp pear is famous all over the world and worth having.
Walking in Dangshan crisp pear garden every day, I know Dangshan crisp pear like the back of my hand. Dangshan county has 900,000 mu of land, including 700,000 mu of orchards. Together, these 700,000 mu orchards have created the largest contiguous orchard area in the world, which has been recognized as the largest contiguous orchard by Guinness World Records, and the pear orchard area in these 700,000 mu accounts for 550,000 mu.
How does Dangshan crisp pear taste? To sum up, the meat is crisp, sweet, juicy and big.
As you may know, there are four famous pears in China, namely, Hebei Yali pear, Xinjiang Korla fragrant pear, Shandong Laiyang pear and Dangshan crisp pear. Among these four varieties, Dangshan crisp pear is the largest, juiciest and sweetest.
Why is Dangshan crisp pear called crisp pear? Because this kind of pear falls to the ground after ripening, it becomes a pool of water, leaving only one pear core, so people call it crisp pear vividly.
So what caused the excellent quality of Dangshan crisp pear? What will Dangshan crisp pear look like if it is planted in other areas?
Here, I want to tell you that Dangshan crisp pear will be crisp, sweet, juicy and big only when planted in Dangshan, which is closely related to the climate and soil conditions in Dangshan. Even the local crisp pears in Dangshan taste very different. For example, the pears of the old pear trees planted in the sand along the old Yellow River are the most brittle, and some are planted in the sand.
Around 1993, Dangshan pear returned to her parents' home all over the country. What happened?
It was outside Dangshan that crisp pear trees were introduced from Dangshan. As a result, after the fruiting period, it was found that the fruit was either cracked or very small, not like Dangshan crisp pear tree. As the saying goes, oranges are born in Huainan and planted in Huaibei, which means oranges are called oranges. After this incident, many fruit farmers in Dangshan bought pear trees from other places. This incident is called "Dangshan crisp pear returns to her mother's house".
In addition to the above characteristics, Dangshan crisp pear also has the characteristics of large fruit output. For example, there is a pear tree king in Dangshan county, which has a history of more than 300 years. The fruit yield of a tree has reached 4000 Jin, which is really too high.
In more than half a month, Dangshan County will usher in the annual Yali Festival. Friends who haven't been to Dangshan may wish to experience the spectacular scene of "like spring breeze blowing, blowing the petals of ten thousand pear trees at night" in the 550,000-mu pear garden, which is worthy of being in the sea of flowers, accepting the baptism of spring, and feeling the vastness of Dangshan crisp pears under the ripples of spring breeze.
In the golden autumn of October, Dangshan County will also welcome the annual Crispy Pear Picking Festival, stroll through the fruitful pear sea, pick a crisp pear from Huang Cancan, savor its crispness and sweetness, and have a refreshing and lasting aftertaste!
I come from Liliang Town, which is also the town with the largest crisp pear production in the county. To tell the truth, crisp pears are not as delicious as before. Now crown pear, Emerald Pear and Emerald Pear are all delicious. Crispy pears are picked too early now, and only when they are ripe will they be delicious. The problem is that it can't be placed for a long time in the mature season.
From Xuzhou, 80 kilometers northwest along the Longhai Line, you come to Dangshan South Station in Anhui.
Dangshan County, now under the jurisdiction of Suzhou City, Anhui Province, is located in the northernmost part of Anhui Province, bordering Xuzhou in Jiangsu Province and Shangqiu in Henan Province in the east and west, and Shanxian County under Heze in Shandong Province in the north.

The cultivated land in Dangshan County is 1.27 million mu, of which the pear area is more than 500,000 mu, accounting for 39% of the county's cultivated land area, ranking first in the world. Every year in March and April, pear blossoms are in full bloom, white as snow, and the fragrance wafts like a fairyland when the breeze blows. To see pear blossoms in Dangshan, you can go to Lishuwang Scenic Area in Liliang Town, east of Dangshan County.

Lishuwang
Dangshan crisp pear is famous for its big fruit, small stone, thin juicy skin and crisp sweetness. Dangshan crisp pear is a natural hybrid of Pak Lei and Shali pear, which ripens in mid-September. Crispy pear is nearly cylindrical, with an average fruit weight of half a catty, and the largest can reach more than 2 catty. The pulp is white, the taste is crisp and refreshing, and it can be broken when you break it. The entrance is crisp and there is no residue on the ground. Since ancient times, there has been a cloud: "dangshan pear is thin-skinned, and it can't be found on the ground.".
Dangshan has a long history. Xiayi County was founded in the twenty-second year of Qin Shihuang, that is, in 225 BC, which has been more than 2,200 years.
According to research, Dangshan crisp pear also has a cultivation history of more than 2500 years. There is a record that "Dangshan produces pears" in Xuzhou Fu Zhi compiled in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty. Anhui dangshan pear was listed as a court tribute during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
Having said so many pears, there is one more thing to tell you. When you see Dangshan County, you will definitely think of Dangshan. You can check the satellite map of Dangshan County. They are all alluvial plains of the Yellow River with very flat terrain. How can there be mountains?
Where will Dangshan be? According to the ancient book "the annals of all nations", "Dangshan is seventy miles southeast of Dangshan County, hence the name." When I enlarged the scale of the map, I did see some hills in Mangshan Town, yongcheng city, Shangqiu City, Henan Province. This is Mangdang Mountain, or "Dangshan Mountain" mentioned in ancient books.
Mangdang Mountain is actually a group of hills composed of more than a dozen hills. It consists of Mangshan Mountain, Nuoshan Mountain, Fuzi Mountain, Baoan Mountain and Tieshanjiao. The elevation of the main peak is only 156.8 meters, which belongs to the extension of southern Shandong mountains and hills. Mangdang Mountain, located on the great plain, is small, but its geographical position is too good and its reputation is too great.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius led his disciples all over the world and gave lectures in Mangdang Mountain. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in Daze Township, was killed and buried in Mangdang Mountain. Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, escorted the torturers to Lishan Mountain, and after the White Snake Uprising, he also fled into Mangdang Mountain. Liu Bang is called Chi Di Zi, and the main peak of Mangdang Mountain is also called Chi Di Peak. In addition, Mangdang Mountain has famous tombs of Han and Liang kings, including the tombs of He Empress, Liang and Mai. According to historical records, Liu Wu, the son of Emperor Wendi, was very rich. After his death, he brought all his gold and silver belongings into the mausoleum, and was finally looted by Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period.
Liangwangling
In the last sentence, Dangshan betrayed the rebel leader Huang Chao, and then betrayed the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty. The hometown of Zhu Wen, the founding emperor of Hou Liang, only existed for 17 years.
My family has three pear trees over a hundred years old, right next to the old Yellow River. I heard from my parents that it was distributed in the production team. I used to play under the pear tree when I was a child. Pear trees are covered with sand, which is very soft, but sometimes pears will be smashed when they fall from the trees. When you are thirsty, pick a pear from the tree to eat. It has thin skin, high sugar content and sticky hands after eating. It's almost twenty years since I left home, and I still miss the scene in the pear garden when I was a child. Now all the fruits in the street can't find their original taste.
It tastes good, especially with a lot of water.
Dangshan crisp pear has a long history of cultivation. It is the first of the three traditional famous pears in China, and is famous for moistening the lungs and relieving cough with sweet juice.
1. Dangshan crisp pear
Dangshan crisp pear is named after Dangshan, which is famous at home and abroad. Dangshan crisp pear cultivation has a long history of more than 2500 years. The history of cultivation can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period BC, and it developed in the Tang and Song Dynasties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was planted in a large area and became a local specialty. It was listed as a tribute during Wanli period of Ming Dynasty and Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty.
2. Nutritional value
Dangshan crisp pear belongs to Pak Lei strain, which is a natural hybrid of Pak Lei and Sha pear. The solar calendar ripens at the beginning of September, with huge fruit, light yellow skin, crisp white flesh as jade and sweet as honey. It also has the characteristics of thin and juicy skin, crisp entrance and no residue on the ground Therefore, the ballad "dangshan pear, with thin skin, can't be found on the ground" has been widely circulated since ancient times. Dangshan crisp pear has high nutritional value and is rich in essential sugar, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
3. Medicinal value
Dangshan crisp pear has high nutritional value and is rich in essential sugar, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. The medicinal value is high. Li Shizhen recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that "there are many pears, all of which are top grade and can cure diseases." It is clearly pointed out that pears can "moisten the lungs and cool the heart, reduce phlegm and reduce fire, heal sores and detoxify, and relieve alcoholism and intoxicate people." According to the clinical experience of modern Chinese medicine, "raw pears can clear the heat of six fu organs, and cooked food can nourish the yin of five internal organs."
4. Geographical advantages
Dangshan, located at the 34th latitude line, belongs to the transitional zone between subtropical zone and warm temperate zone, with mild climate, abundant sunshine, four distinct seasons and simultaneous rain and heat, which is most conducive to the growth of pears. The Yellow River has been flowing here for nearly 800 years, and a large amount of sediment in the upper reaches of the Loess Plateau has been deposited here, forming deep sandy soil. This kind of soil is fine and loose, which is very beneficial to the growth and development of crisp pear roots. The soil temperature rises rapidly in the light and cools rapidly in the dark, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which makes the sugar content and various nutritional components of crisp pear higher than those in other areas, thus creating the unique charm of Dangshan crisp pear with excellent quality and delicious taste.
5. Dangshan pear paste
Dangshan crisp pear can be eaten raw and cooked, or squeezed into pear paste, which has the effects of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, clearing throat and moistening lung.
