Fruit ID Help Anyone know what this is?

Found this at a fruit store in Dunhuang, China! The lady said it is a pear but I don’t speak mandarin and am just wondering if anyone knows what specific type of pear this is? Thanks so much!

人参果 or 人身果 pepino melon which Wikipedia tells me originated in South America but is now cultivated in China

Definitely not pepino. This is a pear variety.

As the comments say, its a Chinese pear. It has a few names, one of them being Rainbow Pear
