The world's most expensive lychee, one fruit worth 130,000!
The world's most expensive lychee variety is the Gua Lu variety from Zengcheng. As the saying goes, "one Gua Lu lychee, one grain of gold" - that's exactly what it refers to! So far, only one mother tree of the Gua Lu variety remains in the world, and all other descendants were cultivated from it. That's why the lychees borne by this tree are so valuable - it only produces about 200 fruits a year.
In 2001, one Gua Lu lychee sold for 55,000, making it the most expensive fruit in the world and breaking the Guinness World Record. In 2002, a single 18.8g Gua Lu lychee was actually auctioned for 555,000.
As for the person who bought such an expensive lychee, Huahua can only sigh and say: must have a mine at home!
