Autumn is like a kaleidoscope—suddenly, it seems all kinds of delicious treats emerge from the mountains, lakes, treetops, and fields, taking turns to tempt our appetites.

When it comes to autumn sweetness, how can we forget honey? After a summer of diligent work, bees in the mountains bring us the richest honey. This honey is not only silky, sweet, and delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it an excellent choice for autumn wellness.

The quality of honey is largely determined by its production environment. Tianshui in Gansu is considered one of China’s best honey sources—the only region in the country that meets all seven international indicators for a "golden honey belt." It is also the birthplace of China’s beekeeping industry. Tianshui lies between the Wei River and the Jialing River, spanning the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins. Its transitional monsoon climate, between warm temperate and subtropical zones, nurtures this mysterious and fertile land. Additionally, the Qinling Mountains in China form the largest and highest-quality locust honey production area in the country, known as the "golden belt" of locust honey worldwide. With its mild climate, unique geography, and abundant nectar sources—where flowers bloom profusely without interference from other blooms—the honey produced here is of exceptional quality.
