What To Expect
Your private tour guide will come to pick you up at your hotel lobby in the morning and take you to Zhaotun Strawberry Park in Qingpu District, which is well-known for its 20 years of research in plant technology. Upon arrival, the first thing you will notice is that you are not actually picking strawberries under a yawning blue sky but in the green house tent with some bees around. But don’t let this deter you; the strawberries are worth it! You will find the strawberries there are sweet and run-down-your-chin juicy. Your guide will accompany you to one of the tents to pick up the strawberries, and you can taste it as well during the picking time. You will surely have so much fun there! Due to different seasonality; you will have different fruit surprise: • Strawberry (Dec.–May) • Sweet White Melon (March–July) • Cherry (May) • Blueberry (June–July) • Peach (July–Aug.) • Grape (July–Oct.) • Orange (Oct.–Nov.)

5.00We had a nice tour! Although we picked so much fruit we cannot eat ourselves it was fun. The boattrip was a little short but it's a small Village. We wish it was longer. Our guide Mary speaks English very well! We also bought an oyster in the Village wich the woman of the shop openened and get the pearls out. That was for the kids highlight of the day!!

5.00It was a wonderful trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and had a great time. Everything was planned out wonderfully and we are going to go back with a lifetime of memories. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the place and the small pieces of information she gave us were very appreciated. She was very friendly and very easy to get along with, especially for our 3 year old daughter who had a great time because she ensured that she was comfortable the entire time. Thanks a lot for this great day trip!

5.00Berlin is a very nice and knowledgeable guide. She explained things such as the history to us clearly. She can converse well in English. I would certainly recommend my friends to join this tour if they are in Shanghai.
