According to the distribution of almond origin, southern almonds are mainly produced in the plains of Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Beijing, Shandong and Xinjiang, while northern almonds are mainly planted in the hilly areas of Taihang Mountain in Shanxi and Hebei. According to this distribution, Xinjiang is located in the northwest of China and belongs to the plain area, so Xinjiang almonds should be classified as southern almonds.
