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)

Just about to say this lmao

But i did a search anyway, and based on article below seems like in china in some place they have different 北瓜 based on location, zucchini, chinese squash, and the long pumpkin.
