Are these watermelons in autumn? And are they growing in midair? That's right! The latest batch of greenhouse-grown watermelons from Baokang County, central China's Hubei Province, has officially hit the market.

Rows of watermelon vines are thriving, creating a lush, green landscape. Thanks to innovative cultivation techniques, these "floating watermelons" not only look beautiful and taste incredibly sweet but also make the most of smaller ground spaces, boosting yields by almost 50 percent compared to traditional watermelon farming.
