China's spring wheat area is mainly distributed in the north of the Great Wall, which is one crop a year. Spring wheat is mainly produced in Heilongjiang, Hebei, Tianjin, Xinjiang, Gansu and Inner Mongolia. Spring wheat is usually sown after the Spring Festival every year, about from March to April.
