Location & How to Get There
Rong'Er Strawberry Picking Garden is tucked away in the greenery of Chengdu’s Sanmu Road, specifically at No. 4-4. If you’re coming from downtown, it’s about a 30-minute drive—perfect for a quick escape into nature. By public transport, buses heading to Xiyangho Street drop you close by, and a short 10-minute walk through rice fields will lead you to the garden’s entrance. For those renting bikes, cycling here feels like a mini adventure through Chengdu’s countryside!
Nature’s Playground
Step into Rong'Er Strawberry Picking Garden, and you’ll feel miles away from the city. Rows of bright red strawberries stretch as far as the eye can see, especially during peak season (March to May). The air smells sweet, and bees buzz lazily between plants. Shaded picnic areas let you relax under tall trees, while kids can chase ducks or explore nearby vegetable patches. At sunset, the sky turns pink—almost like the strawberries themselves are glowing!
Farm Life Adventures
This isn’t just a farm—it’s a cultural experience. Local farmers at Rong'Er teach visitors how to spot ripe strawberries (hint: they’re plump and smell amazing!). You can try “strawberry hunting” in the morning when the dew dries, or join a workshop to make jam or bake strawberry scones. On weekends, they sometimes host traditional music performances, so you might hear the sound of erhu (a Chinese violin) while you pick berries. It’s like stepping into a Chengdu fairy tale!
Comfort & Convenience
Don’t worry about roughing it—Rong'Er has clean restrooms, free Wi-Fi, and even cold drinks for sale. Families love the kid-friendly zone with toys and a sandbox. Parking is easy if you drive, and there’s a cute little shop selling strawberry-themed souvenirs (think jams, dried fruit, or strawberry-shaped keychains). Pro tip: Bring cash, as some vendors here prefer it over cards.
The Ultimate Day Out
A visit to Rong'Er Strawberry Picking Garden feels like a mini vacation. Start by filling up a basket with berries (eat as many as you like straight off the plants!), then lounge under a parasol with a strawberry ice cream. If you’re hungry, there’s a food stall serving dumplings and dandan noodles—all made with ingredients from the farm. By afternoon, you’ll be ready for a nap in a hammock or a boat ride on the nearby lake. End your day with a bag of fresh strawberries and zero regrets.
Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or dragging the kids away from screens, Rong'Er promises laughter, sun-kissed faces, and the joy of going back to basics. And hey—who doesn’t love strawberries?
