Two giant peaches, weighing in at 400 grams and 350 grams, were auctioned for 10,800 yuan (US$1,330) at a charity auction on Saturday.

The two huge peaches were from a plantation in Nanhui District, Shanghai.

Dozens of bidders, including business people from Taiwan Province, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, South Korea and the United States, took part in the auction.

All the money raised at the auction was donated to a local cancer patients' association.
