Ever heard of China's avocado capital? Welcome to Menglian county that sits on the same latitude as Mexico's Uruapan, known as the avocado capital of the world! Thanks to the dedication of farmers of the #Dai ethnic group in Menglian, the exotic fruit with its origins in Mexico has found its second home in southwest China, becoming a "local specialty." Currently, the cumulative avocado planting area in Menglian reaches 120,000 mu (about 8,000 hectares). The output of fresh avocados in the county accounts for over 80 percent of China's total, replacing 15 percent of the imported share. But it's more than just fruit - it's a messenger of #culturalexchange. It has become a vivid symbol of the fusion of Chinese and foreign food culture. #ChineseNation
