China S Largest Lychee Production Base

Farmers select lychees at a market in Yalong Village, Gaozhou of Maoming City, south China's Guangdong Province, June 5, 2025. Nestled in the lush landscapes of southwestern Guangdong Province, Gaozhou of Maoming City is known as a "hometown of lychees" in China. Maoming is China's largest lychee production base with a planting area of approximately 1.42 million mu (about 94,667 hectares) and an annual output that accounted for roughly 20 percent of the country's total in 2024. Beyond supplying domestic markets, Maoming lychee is exported worldwide, reaching countries including Russia, Australia, Thailand and Japan. Photo by Ding Hongfa/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

A 2,400-meter-deep physics laboratory in southwest China's Sichuan Province became operational on Thursday, making it the deepest and largest underground lab in the world. Scientists believe the laboratory provides a "clean" space for them to pursue the invisible substance known as dark matter. They said the extreme depth helps block most cosmic rays that mess with the observation. The Deep Underground and Ultra-low Radiation Background Facility for Frontier Physics Experiments (DURF) is located beneath Jinping Mountain in Sichuan's Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture.
