    In Chinese, there’s “kinda” 3 out of the 4 directions for melons:

    • 东瓜 (dōng guā) - East Melon - Winter Melon
    • 西瓜 (xī guā) - West Melon - Watermelon
    • 南瓜 (nán guā) - South Melon - Pumpkin (although it doesn’t necessarily refer to south)

    and there is no 北瓜 (běi guā) - North Melon (at least not to my knowledge)
