Two YouTubers, Neslihan Kilavuz from Turkey and Rafael Saavedra from Venezuela, have toured around Mount Danxia in Shaoguan's Renhua county to find out the sweetest Danxia Gonggan, a locally grown mandarin there.
During the two-day trip, the two foreign expats picked Danxia Gonggan themselves, tasted Gonggan-made derivatives including desserts and dishes, and also explored the scientific planting and quality control process of the fruit.

"How amazing nature here it is!" "The place we are right now has no comparison (with other places)." In his latest Vlog, Rafael Saavedra shared his feelings of travelling around Mount Danxia, the World Natural Heritage which Danxia Gonggan is named after.
Growing at the foot of Mount Danxia, Danxia Gonggan has the same special rose-like color that the mountain is famous for. Also, the unique red sandy loam of the Danxia landform with fertile soil and a suitable temperature is conducive to the growth of trees and the accumulation of fruit sugar.
"It has a kind of sweetness that makes you enjoy it,”exclaimed Neslihan Kilavuz in the Gonggan orchard, after taking a bite of a Gonggan that she had just picked from the branch.

In addition to its superior natural advantages, up-to-date agricultural technology and intelligent, digital quality control management also help grow and sort out better Gonggan for consumers. Learning that there is an integrated water and fertilizer system in the orchard, Rafael Saavedra was amazed at the widespread use of high technology in local agricultural production, which "makes better quality of life for all citizens"in his view.
Another place that has aroused their great interest is the Renhua Danxia Gonggan Quality Control Center. The center has a domestic top 4-channel intelligent sorting line, which can sort out 600 Gonggan per minute by size, color, shape, etc.
Now the Danxia Gonggan industry is playing an important role in Renhua county's rural vitalization, with its planting scale and production ranking the first in the country.
