In 1967, Dangshan pears were introduced from Anhui and trial-planted in the First Agricultural Division, Second Agricultural Division, and Third Agricultural Division. Due to Xinjiang's special conditions of little rain, long sunshine hours, high daytime temperatures, and large temperature differences between day and night, after more than 20 years of artificial cultivation, natural domestication, and human selection, a new variety——the Gong pear——was formed. The average weight of a single fruit of this variety is about 250 grams.
