After 20 Years of Anticipation, Why Is the Return of Lychees to Lychee Bay So Thrilling？

City Life | Recent sightings of lychees ripening red at Lychee Bay have sparked citywide excitement. As Guangzhou's summer icon and nostalgic childhood taste, lychees carry generations of local memories.The poetic vista of "A bay of green spring water, red lychees on both sides" embodies the city's shared urban imagery. Lychees hold profound meaning for Liwan District. In the 1930s-40s, Lychee Bay was still a major lychee producer. That's why Liwan became Guangzhou's only district named after this fruit.#citylife

近日，关于荔枝湾重现荔枝红的消息引起广泛关注。荔枝是广州人夏天的符号和舌尖上的家乡味道，承载了几代广州人的童年记忆。“一湾溪水绿，两岸荔枝红”美景更是广州人共同的城市意象。荔枝对于荔湾区来说更是有着非同一般的意义。上世纪三四十年代，荔枝湾仍盛产荔枝。荔湾因此成为广州唯一以“荔”为名的区。
