Led by the Production Team, Xu Wang and the others arrived at the mountain behind the village, where a vast expanse of fruit trees stretched as far as the eye could see.
Some trees bore golden mangoes, others bright red pomegranates, and still others were hung with bunches of pink lychees.
A path leading down the mountain ran between the fruit trees. Many villagers were heading down, some carrying two baskets of fruit on shoulder poles, others with a basket of fruit on their backs. Sweat soaked their hair and streamed down their cheeks.
[Wow, what a spectacular orchard.]
[You can tell the fruit here is sweet just by looking at it. It must taste amazing. (Drooling)]
[Lychees! They're so expensive where I live. This place is practically lychee heaven.]
[The villagers have to work so hard hauling those baskets of fruit. Don't they have workers or machinery to help?]
