Xinjiang abounds in numerous species of fruits and is especially famous for its water melons and Hami melons. 

Xinjiang water melons are large in size, tasty and sweet. In summer and autumn, the sweet and juicy water melons are supplied almost every where. There are summer melon and winter melon in Xinjiang. Owing to its thick rind, the winter melon is likely to be enjoyed in the freezing winter, for it can be preserved through winter time. Both south Xinjiang and North Xinjiang produce muskmelons with high quality, such as Jiashi, Meget, Pis han, Yutian in south Xinjiang and Xiayedi,Jinghe, Wujiaqu in north Xinjiang, of which Shanshan's muskinelons are praised the "king of nations". In ancient times, they were sent to the emperors as tributes. It is said that the Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) praised the fruit greatly for its incomparable honey aroma, and the melon was named "Hami melon" because it was the King Hami who sent it. Now its reputation has been spread abroad and Hami melon has gained its fame far and wide.
