“It's mostly mangoes and coconuts.”
Direct spoken expression in this communicative setting.
Hainan is located in the tropics and abounds with tropical fruits such as coconuts, mangoes, and pineapples, whereas temperate fruits like apples and pears are primarily grown in the north (e.g., Shandong and Shaanxi). Consequently, before modern logistics developed, temperate fruits were relatively rare in tropical regions.
