Produce market has fresh fruit appeal

Diners tired of the same old apples, oranges and watermelon after Chinese meals can venture to the south Fourth Ring Road to procure exotic fruits at wholesale prices.

Many Beijingers visit the Xinfadi agricultural products wholesale market, which is open from 7 am to 6 pm daily, to buy fruit to give as Spring Festival gifts for family and friends.

Ms Yu, a Beijing resident for more than 20 years, has been selling fruit at Xinfadi since 2006. Her stall sells tropical fruit including mangosteen and Thai mangoes (only in bulk).
