When it comes in summer and autumn, people enjoy picking fruits themselves in suburbs. They can experience the pureness, the freshness and the green that can be found in Beijing's suburbs and take a stroll through the orchards and fields, enjoy the scenery and romantic atmosphere, while picking your favorite fruits by hands.

Local farmers and the government officials make great efforts to grow high-quality fruits for visitors to pick and purchase. They try to make sure that the farming practices are environmentally friendly and the fruit achieves the top quality. Payment is made either by collecting an entrance fee to orchards, or measuring the fruit in the basket before leaving the fruits garden.

Beijing's suburban farms and orchards produce quite a harvest, with everything from strawberries, cherries, apricots, pears, peaches, grapes, apples to persimmon. Fruit picking trips are available in almost all the suburban districts and counties, from Daxing, Shunyi, Pinggu, Huairou, Miyun and Changping.

Why not try fruit picking on the outskirts of Beijing in this golden autumn?
