Harvest season has begun at multiple grape orchards in Baiyun district in recent days.

At the happy grape garden in Taihe town's Toupo village, the first batch of Black Pearl grapes is attracting many visitors to come pick them. The grapes grow at the foot of Maofeng Mountain, which provides fresh air and fertile soil. Organic fertilizers are used and the area is weeded manually, without the use of pesticides or ripening agents. The grapes are sweet, tender, and highly popular.
