The king of fruits once broke a Guinness World Record, yet it cannot leave its branches and leaves

Every year when May arrives, it means the fruit season is at its peak. In this season there are many delicious fruits, and the lychee, which the editor likes best, is among them. The lychee is also called the "king of fruits"

The lychee has been praised through the ages for being able to win a smile from the imperial concubine; with such a reputation, the lychee is no ordinary fruit. The lychee is an evergreen tree, and its tree can grow 10 m tall.

When the lychee fruit ripens it has a bright red shell, with many small bumps on it, and its flesh is pure white and translucent, tasting extremely sweet and fragrant.

The lychee is also called one of the "four famous fruits of the South". The best variety of lychee is Gua Lu, and Gua Lu once fetched an astronomical price for a single fruit and even broke a Guinness World Record. Eating lychee regularly can treat some illnesses, and it can also nourish the brain.
