China Watermelon Museum

Museum · Beijing

"China produces 40 percent of the global watermelon crop, and plunking down with a big slice during the sweltering summer months is a quintessential Beijing experience. Located in the south of the city, Daxing District is a major agricultural center. Since 1988 the district has organized the Watermelon Festival, where one lucky farmer can be crowned the “King of Watermelons.” Festival-goers can learn about how the fruit is grown and, of course, eat their weight in fresh watermelon.When: Summer" - MATADOR_NETWORK
