Northwest China is located deep in the interior of northwest China, far from the sea, coupled with the high plateau and mountainous terrain blocking the humid air flow, resulting in scarce precipitation and arid climate, forming a vast desert and Gobi desert.

Only a few areas in the southeast of the western region have a temperate monsoon climate, and most of the other areas have a temperate continental climate and alpine climate, with severe cold and dry winters, high temperatures and scarce precipitation in summer, showing a decreasing trend from east to west.

The unique geographical location and diverse climate give tenacious life to the fruits of Northwest China, among which grapes, cantaloupe, apricots, Korla fragrant pears, prunes from Xinjiang, and kiwifruit from Shaanxi are the main ones.

Xinjiang is a place with low cloud cover and sufficient sunlight during the day, strong photosynthesis, low temperature at night, and low consumption of organic matter such as sugar in melons and fruits, which make Xinjiang's melons and fruits sweeter and more fragrant.
