Early spring sees a rise in melon and fruit availability, with high prices for early varieties such as red melons, croissant honey melons, and Boyang No. 9 melons. Croissant honey melons, originally from Shandong, have become more affordable due to increased production and listing in other regions. Reticulated melons and Meilong melons are also popular for their unique characteristics and high quality. Yanliang, Xi'an is a significant production base for early spring melons, offering over 200,000 tons annually. These melons are valued for their quality and taste, which fills the gap during the scarce early spring fruit season.
