Which picking farms are the most worthwhile to visit? Here, we’ve carefully chosen the most representative picking locations for each seasonal fruit. By following our guidance, you can effortlessly pick the tastiest and freshest fruits!
Ripe, golden loquats
In this pollution-free, purely ecological core area spanning approximately 40 hectares, a vibrant fruit carnival takes place all year round. Early summer is when loquats ripen—you can freely pick and eat them on the spot. By late May, bayberries begin to mature, further enriching the selection of harvestable fruits.
The most seasonal fruit right now is the loquat. Its fuzzy fruits dangle abundantly from the branches. Why not dive into the shady loquat groves, picking, eating, and strolling along the way? The sweet flavor travels straight from your taste buds to your heart. When harvesting, snip the fruit about half a centimeter from the branch—but do not remove the paper bag covering the loquat to prevent branch scratches from damaging the skin. After picking, trim the overly long branch by half using scissors, then store the fruit in a paper box. This way, it can be kept at room temperature for over a week.
