Don't miss Davao, the "fruit basket" of the Philippines

Davao is known as the "fruit basket" of the Philippines, and is especially famous for its durians. At the entrance to Davao's People's Park, a durian-shaped building is particularly eye-catching. Davao supplies almost all of the durians in the Philippines, and has a wide variety of durians, with 26 different types. Every summer in July and August, when the durians are ripe, the whole fruit market is filled with the aroma of durians. Davao produces more than 50,000 tons of durians annually, with more than 3,000 growers. Davao's fruit market is located on Magsaysay Avenue outside Chinatown. Here, you can not only taste a variety of fresh durians, but also a variety of tropical fruits such as mangosteen, sweet pomelo, sugar apple, mango, and coconut. The fruit market on Magsaysay Avenue is one of the most famous markets in Davao and a great place to taste and buy local fruits. In addition, Davao has a special way of eating durian, which is to eat it with Coke. Locals believe that eating too much durian can cause heat, while Coke can reduce heat, so the two are a perfect match. In Davao, there are even a variety of durian-based foods such as durian coffee, durian chocolate milkshake, or durian ice cream. Davao's fruit market is not only a great place to taste fresh tropical fruits, but also a place to experience the unique food culture of the area. Here, you can enjoy the deliciousness and surprises brought by the "fruit basket" of the Philippines.
