夏至，太陽直射北緯23.5度，北半球迎來最長白晝。荔枝，從這個時候開始佔領當季嶺南水果頭牌交椅，其中，深圳南山荔枝美名遠揚，雄霸必買榜單天下。

　It is Summer Solstice, when the subsolar point has arrived in latitude 23.5 degrees north, that  marks the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere. From now on, Lychee becomes fruit of the season in Lingnan area. Among all lychees, those from Nanshan, Shenzhen, are well known to be the best seller.

　對於愛荔人而言，古有蘇軾的「日啖荔枝三百顆，不辭長作嶺南人」，今有「不吃荔枝就錯過了整個夏天」的遺憾。「荔」夏已到，深圳有滋味欄目組拉起拍攝團隊，帶上外國小姐姐Alya直奔西麗果場南山荔枝月亮灣示範園，為的就是不錯過深圳這個地道風物。

　As a lychee lover, ancient Chinese poet Su Shi wrote a peom:"To eat 300 lychees a day, who would mind being a local in Lingnan." People in modern time also say that:"Without eating lychees, you will miss the whole summer."

　A summer of lychee has arrived, Have Fun in Shenzhen teams up with our international friend Alya and directly head to Nanshan Lychee Yueliangwan Demonstration Area of Xili Orchard, in order to capture the authentic seasonal treasure in Shenzhen.

　廣東荔枝在深圳，深圳荔枝在南山。作為「南山三寶」之一，南山荔枝也是世界上唯一享有地理保護標誌的荔枝。在西麗果場，就有不少樹齡超過數百年的資深荔枝樹，在園林工人細心打理下，枝頭滿滿的都是紅果子。

　There was a saying: Guangdong lychee depends on Shenzhen, and Shenzhen lychee depends on Nanshan. As one of the"Three Treasures of Nanshan", Nanshan lychee is the only lychee with geographical protection mark in the world. In Xili Orchard, there are many senior lychee trees that are over hundreds years old. With the meticulous care of orchard workers, the branches of lychee trees are all covered by red delicate fruits.

　要獲得荔枝最佳的口感，關鍵在於新鮮。夏日午後，低處果實差不多採摘完畢，園林工人拾級攀梯，再將高處鮮紅飽滿的果子，分裝入箱。很快，甘冽清甜的深圳滋味，就此送向全國各地。

　在園林老師的指導下，我們搬來一人高的梯子，體驗片刻摘荔樂趣，手指輕捏荔枝，手腕一轉，果實便從果柄上脫落下來。

　The key of the best taste of lychee is"freshness". In summer afternoon, fruits on lower braches are almost finished picking. Orchard workers climb up the ladder to pick those red full fruits on higher braches, and then package them into boxes. Soon, the sweet taste of Shenzhen will be sent to all parts of China.

　Under the guidance of our teacher from the orchard, we carried a ladder that higher than head to experience the fun of picking lychees. Gently pinch the fruit with your finger, and with a turn of your wrist, the fruit will fall off from the branch.

　深圳荔枝的尖貨，當屬「桂味」和「糯米糍」。桂味因帶桂花味而得名，罕見桂花香讓其在「內卷」的深圳荔枝圈經久不衰。桂味細核、肉質爽脆、清甜，又最耐儲運，果實採下數天後都能保持果皮鮮紅不變色，果肉不變味。

　The top products of Shenzhen lychees are Gui Wei, which can be translated as"cinnamon flavor" and Nuo Mi Ci, which can be known as"glutinous rice cake". Gui Wei gets its name because its osmanthus fragrance, which makes it classic and popular in Shenzhen's competitive lychee circle.

　Gui Wei has small fruit seed, crispy fruit pulp with fresh sweetness. Besides, its resistance to storage and transportation makes the fruit shell maintain bright red and the pulp taste fresh even after it is picked for a few days.

　糯米糍作為一個擁有糯嘰嘰「白糰子」果肉的品種，遠遠看去，是掛在樹上的愛心，外形上比其他荔枝「兄弟姐妹」胖一圈。糯米糍皮薄、棘感不明顯，核小，肉厚且呈半透明乳白色，可食用率特別高，一口下去滿是果肉香氣。

　Nuo Mi Ci, as a variety with its pulp like a white bun, it looks like a heart hanging on a tree. It is generally fuller and bigger than other lychee varieties. The hull of Nuo Mi Ci is thin and flat. Thanks to its small fruit seed and thick milky pulp, you can enjoy it the best. Take a bite, your mouth will be filled with its sweet aroma.（記者 金洪竹 張喆 李丹璐 馮牧原 陳彥如 張玲 圖 張玲攝）
