Due to the unique climate and natural environment, Toksun County is the first place in Xinjiang to welcome spring. Apricot flowers here begin to blossom in mid-March, and fruits go on sale in early May. Toksun County is famed as the "Hometown of early ripening apricot in China," with a planted area of 100 thousand mu (about 66.7 square kilometers).
