WENZHOU, June 23 (Xinhua) -- The fresh batch of premium Dongkui waxberries on Monday began an air journey from the orchards in Wencheng County, via Shanghai, to the German city of Frankfurt.
Thanks to recent efforts to expand their reach, waxberries are now making their way far beyond the few cities neighboring the misty hills where they have been growing for centuries. They are now favored ones on dinner tables across China and even in continents other than Asia.
