万亩果林位于海珠区东南部，东起珠江后航道，西至广州大道南，北起黄埔涌，南至官洲岛，是典型的珠江三角洲冲积河网地带。土地肥沃、雨量充沛，几百年来经过数代果农的悉心栽培，成为岭南佳果的传统产区，有石硖龙眼、红果杨桃、尚书怀荔枝、鸡心黄皮等十多种品种，部分远销港澳和国内外。

　　近年来，广州农村地区城市化进程加快，万亩果林果树面积削减，环境污染、病虫害等问题突出。为保护好万亩果林，1999年广州市政府将其规划为果树保护区，分为三级进行保护：一级保护区为农业生产及农业观光示范区，分布在小洲、土华、仑头3个村，面积约266.7公顷；二级保护区为果树生产恢复区，分布在石基、北山、土华3个村，面积约466.7公顷；三级保护区为果树生态保护区，分布在赤沙、龙潭、红卫、东风，瑞宝5个村，面积约466.7公顷。

　　万亩果林现有果林面积1120公顷，主要水果品种有：荔枝、龙眼、杨桃、番石榴等，2007年水果产量2.26万吨。

　　万亩果林果树保护区已成为广州市城市中心组团的重要绿化隔离带和城市湿地，是中心城区的“绿心”，被喻为广州的“南肺”和“肾”。保护区内，现已建成具岭南特色的瀛洲生态公园、龙潭果树公园。

■The Massive Orchard

　　The Massive Orchard, a typical Pearl River Delta alluvion with complicated water network, is located in the southeast of Haizhu District, stretching out all the way from the Pearl River watercourse in the east to the Guangzhou Avenue South in the west, from the Huangpu Stream in the north to the Guangzhou Island in the south. Owing to the fertile land and sufficient rainfall, and thanks to the devoted efforts by generations of local fruit growers in the last hundreds of years, this area has become a large traditional plantation of over ten different kinds of fine Lingnan fruits including Shixia longan, red star fruit, Shangshuhuai lichee, chicken-heart wampee, etc.. Some of the fruits are sold to Hongkong and Macau, and also to other domestic and international markets.

　　The accelerating urbanization of the rural areas in Guangzhou in the recent years has led to the dwindling of the orchard. More serious problems have emerged, such as environmental pollution, plant diseases and insect pests. To protect the massive orchard, the municipal government has designated the orchard as a fruit tree protection area. The work is more cautiously done by dividing the area into three classes of protective areas: the first class protective area is for agricultural production and agricultural sightseeing covering some parts of the three villages of Xiaozhou, Luntou and Tuhua with a total area of 266.7 hectares; the second class is for the resumption of fruit plantation covering parts of the three villages of Shiji, Beishan and Tuhua totaling 466.7 hectares of land; the third class is for the ecological protection of the fruit trees covering parts of the five villages of Shisha, Longtan, Hongwei, Dongfeng and Ruibao with a total area of 466.7 hectares.

　　The Massive Orchard now has a total area of 1,120 hectares of fruit trees. The main fruits are lichee, longan, star fruit and guava, etc.. The overall yield in 2007 was 22,600 tons of fruits.

　　The massive Orchard Protection Area has become a major green segregating strip and an urban wetland in the central cluster of the city of Guangzhou, and is often referred to as Guangzhou's "Southern Lung" or "Kidney". Yingzhou Ecological Park and Longtan Orchard Park, both typical Lingnan style gardens, have been built within the protection area.
