Shimen is located at the tail of Wuling Mountain, Hu Ping, the roof of Hunan Province, is located in the northwest of Shimen County, and Dongting Lake District is located in the southeast, with an altitude of only 100 meters. Due to the influence of mountains, cold air in the north is difficult to get in and out easily, and it is not cold in winter. The warm air flow in the south is easy to get in but difficult to get out, and there is plenty of rain. In addition, the temperature difference between day and night in hilly areas is large and there is plenty of sunshine. Citrus produced in this difficult-to-copy geographical and climatic environment is particularly easy to accumulate sugar, which has created the "natural beauty" of Shimen citrus. Moreover, growers use organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer, which ensures the sustainable development of citrus reticulata.
