As temperatures rise, Qingdao's Mingcun Town unveils nature's perfect summer treat - jewel-like watermelons dangling from greenhouse vines like sweet ornaments. These petite powerhouses (just 1kg each) pack an irresistible sugar rush, thanks to an ingenious "hanging-vine" cultivation method that bathes them in sunlight for even ripening and crisp texture.
Farmers meticulously control every growth factor - from temperature to hydration - creating flawless oval melons that hit the "small-but-mighty" trend perfectly. With 10,000 mu of orchards yielding over ten premium varieties from April onward, these mini marvels are transforming Mingcun into a watermelon wonderland while delivering juicy profits to local growers.
