O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Više od 200 sorti dinja raste na stotinama hektara pjeskovitih parcela, a svakoj treba točno 90 do 120 dana da sazrije pod užarenim suncem Xinjianga. Slatkoća ovdje može doseći 20 posto udjela šećera, otprilike dvostruko više od tipične kantalupe, zahvaljujući ogromnim temperaturnim razlikama između dana i noći.
Istaknuto: Dok prolazite pored redova, osjetit ćete miris prije nego što uopće vidite plodove, medeni parfem koji se širi desecima metara na suhom pustinjskom zraku. Poljoprivrednici ovdje još uvijek beru ručno u zoru, a neke od cijenjenih "Mliječnih dinja" zalijevaju se vodom pomiješanom s kozjim mlijekom, što je stoljećima star trik koji dramatično produbljuje okus.
Insajderski savjeti
- Bring a hat, sunscreen, and plenty of water, the desert sun is relentless with almost no shade between the rows.
- Ask the staff which variety is at peak ripeness that week, the harvest rotates and each type has a short window.
- Skip the packaged dried melon in the shop and instead have the growers cut one open for you on the spot.
- Early morning visits beat both the heat and the tour-bus crowds that roll in after 11 a.m.
