It takes 3,000 years for a tree to blossom. It takes another 3,000 years for the flowers to bear fruits. Another 3,000 years are also needed for these kid-shaped fruits to turn ripe.

This is how Journey to the West, one of 皇冠体育app's most famous literature works, describes a variety of "ginsengfruit."

These kid-shaped fruits, sold at 20 yuan each in Hangzhou, East 皇冠体育app's Zhejiang province, are actually a kind of melon called solanum muricatum, a species of solanaceae perennial herb.

They don't have a natural kid shape, but are turned into that shape through "plastic surgery", by putting a mould when the fruit starts to grow.
