The recent hit TV drama The Lychee Road has put "Lingnan lychees" in the spotlight. "Lingnan" typically refers to the region south of the Five Ridges in China, and in the series, the "Lychee Envoy" Li Shande has to deliver the lychees in the shortest time possible from what is now Maoming, Guangdong Province to the capital Chang'an. Famous for its lush scenery and abundant lychee harvests, Maoming supplied this fruit as an imperial tribute thousands of years ago. Today, thanks to advancements in cold-chain logistics, the sweet taste of Maoming lychees can be enjoyed by people all around the world.
