Siraitia grosvenorii, a famous specialty in Guangxi, is a perennial vine growing in subtropical mountainous areas and belongs to Cucurbitaceae. Mainly produced in Yongfu County and Lingui County near Guilin. It is not only a precious medicinal material, but also an advanced refreshing drink and condiment. Siraitia grosvenorii is rich in natural glucose and fructose, which is 300 times sweeter than sugar. Using it to make tea is sweet and mellow, and has the functions of clearing away heat and moistening lung, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, benefiting liver and strengthening spleen, and promoting fluid production and refreshing. The origin of Siraitia grosvenorii is legendary. Legend has it that a Yao farmer in Yongfu County was stung by a wild bee on the back of his left hand when he went up the mountain to collect firewood. It was swollen and painful, so he picked a wild fruit from a nearby vine and scraped it off. As a result, the swelling and pain were relieved. He felt strange and sniffed it with his nose. Wild fruit is fragrant, so I tasted it with my mouth. It is as sweet as honey. This story is known by a village doctor named Lohan. He asked Yao farmers to take him up the mountain to pick fruit, and repeatedly studied this wild fruit to treat cough and other diseases, and the effect was good. Later, in memory of Dr. Yao, people called this wild fruit Siraitia grosvenorii and cultivated it, which has a history of nearly 300 years.

Shatian pomelo is the most famous specialty fruit in Guangxi, which originated in Shatian Township, Rong County, hence the name. According to legend, in the thirty-second year of Qing Qianlong (AD 1767), Xia Jigang, a small official in Shatian Township of Rong County, resigned from his post and returned to his hometown from Zhejiang, bringing back two fine pomelo seedlings from Zhejiang for planting. As a result, after long-term careful cultivation, it has finally become a famous fruit at home and abroad. Now it has been widely introduced by people all over the country, and Guilin has become the main producing area of Shatian pomelo. Shatian pomelo is a subtropical fruit with tender meat, sweet fragrance and rich nutrition. Its vitamin C is more than 20 times that of apples. Pomelo fruit is pear-shaped or heart-shaped, bright yellow after maturity, generally weighing 2 kg each. Its biggest feature is that its pedicle is like a neck, and there is a money-shaped ring at the bottom, which is called a money circle. Be sure to pay attention to this when shopping. Pomelo meat generally has 12 pulp petals, which are shaped like eyebrow moon and uniform in thickness. Its result is very strange. It grows on a slender branch, and often two or three huge fruits are hung on a slender branch, giving people a feeling of "a close call", which is called "money hanging hibiscus".
sandworm
The worm, also called the worm, is shaped like a long tube like an intestine. Although the worm is not as expensive as sea cucumber, shark's fin and abalone, it tastes delicious and crisp, not as good as sea cucumber and shark's fin. When tourists come to Beihai, don't forget to eat and buy worms. When processing worms, cut off their intestines, otherwise it will be difficult to enter. If the worm is dry, cut it into small strips first, fry it in a pot, and turn it over constantly while frying. If you find that it is cooked enough, take it out and soak it in clear water for a while, which will not only remove the sand, but also fry the fragrance of the worm itself. Remember, only fried bugs smell like bugs.
Xiangshan wine
