Strawberry season in Zhongluotan town is quite long, starting from early December and continuing until the end of March, allowing locals ample time to enjoy fresh and delicious strawberries.
Due to the short shelf life of strawberries, they are not suitable for long-distance transportation, which means they are mainly picked directly by local villagers and tourists. Strawberry orchards in various different villages, such as Zhanggang, Banhu, and Hutang, are now gradually ripening and hitting the market, using green planting techniques that result in a delicious taste and high demand.
