Medlar is one of five Ningxia's famous specialty products. In summer, farmers pick their fruits from medlar trees and make dry food. Many farmers' hands are hurt because medlar trees are full of pricks that hide the small fruits behind them. Although 1 kg of medlar is worth less than 2 yuan, they are the most important economic resources for local farming women.
