Winter in Jiaxing is truly the strawberry season! Fresh strawberries adorn supermarkets and fruit stores, while strawberry-infused delicacies and beverages grace dessert shops and milk tea joints, transforming the city into a veritable "Strawberry World".

For aficionados, hand-picking strawberries is a sheer joy. Every winter, people flock to the Qianmudang Strawberry Garden in Chiwan village, Youchegang town, Jiaxing. The strawberry greenhouse there basks in the sunlight, exuding a delightful fruity aroma. The sight of plump, oversized strawberries dangling amid the vines is enough to make anyone's mouth water.

The main attraction at the Qianmudang Strawberry Garden is the "Hongyan" variety, also known as the "Cream Strawberry" due to its exceptional sweetness and exquisite flavor. These strawberries are highly sought-after in the Yangtze River Delta region.

The harvest season will kick off around Dec 20, with the entire picking season set to conclude in April next year. So mark your calendars and embark on a delectable journey!
