                                                                     My Favorite Fruit --- Lichee

Lichee is my favorite fruit, and it is the special local product of South China. Summer is the best season for lichee. I like eating lichee in hot summer, especially the lichees just taken from the refrigerator, but remember don’t eat too many lichees a day, because it is bad for your health.

There are many benefits of eating lichee. First, it can help produce saliva and slake thirst. Second, it can provide different kinds of vitamins to our body. Third, it can strengthen our memory. So I recommend you to taste this delicious fruit too.

There is an ancient poem about lichee, which is very famous.

Passing by Huaqing Palace

Viewed from Chang’an, Mount Li seemed a piece of embroidery;

Countless gates opened one after another on a hill-top.

At a horse raising red dust the imperial concubine smiled;

No one knew it was for the lichee fruit is had bought.

It is not only a poem about lichee, but also a classic love story of Yang Guifei and Emperor Xuanzong.
