      The white melon, also known as "Lanzhou honey melon," is most famous for its products from Qingbaishi Township in Chengguan District, Lanzhou City. The honeydew melon is native to the Red Sea and surrounding areas of the United States, where it is called "honeydew" by the Americans. It is a type of thick-skinned melon with a spherical shape, weighing approximately 1.5 kilograms each. It has a white, hard texture and is resistant to storage, making it suitable for long-term preservation and transportation. The flesh of the melon is a vibrant green, with a thick texture and abundant juice. It is crisp yet tender, containing approximately 15% sugar, which earned it the reputation of being “as fragrant as osmanthus flowers and as sweet as honey.” This kind of melon is not only sweet and delicious but also nutritious. It has the effects of relieving heat, quenching thirst, stimulating appetite, and promoting urination. Not only is it supplied throughout the country, but it is also exported overseas. In the domestic market, it is known as “Lanzhou honeydew melon”.
