Located in Liaocai village of Zhongluotan in Baiyun, a 23-mu (2 hectares) vineyard has cultivated a diverse group of grape varieties. Among them, the Shine Muscat is the local favorite.
Although the village doesn't carry a long history of grape cultivation, thanks to its warm water and soil resources, the planted grapes are of better quality. For instance, grapes grown in Liaocai have a unique sweet fragrance and a bright color.
In addition, the vineyard insists on using ecological organic fertilizer and "drip irrigation" technology to ensure a better quality of the grapes.
After the vines produce grapes, villagers earmark the best grapes and put them in protective bags to prevent and reduce fruit diseases. To make each grape taste sweeter, the yield per mu is strictly controlled so that the grapes can have sufficient sunlight while growing.
One of the vineyard's tourists said that the grapes grown in the vineyard are significant, sweet, diverse, and pesticide-free. He has brought his children here in the past two years to taste nature and cultivate their practical abilities by picking grapes.
