Location & How to Get There

Chongqing Bishan Grape Theme Park is tucked away in Liansheng Village, Daxing Town, just a 40-minute drive from central Chongqing. If you’re coming from the city, take the Metro Line 1 to Bishan Station, then grab a taxi or local bus (ask for “Liansheng Cun”)—it’s easy! For drivers, punch in “Chongqing Bishan Grape Theme Park” into Google Maps, and you’ll spot the vineyards once you hit the countryside. Bonus: It’s near Bishan Ancient Town, so you can combine both trips!

Nature’s Playground

The park is all about lush grapevines stretching across rolling hills. Summer (June–August) is prime time—rows of purple grapes dangle like jewels, ready for picking. Even non-summer months are pretty: spring brings cherry blossoms, autumn paints the vines gold, and winter offers crisp hikes with mountain views. Don’t miss the lakeside pavilion—perfect for photos with reflections of grape arbors in the water. Pro tip: Visit on a sunny day; the light makes the vines glow!

Culture & Local Life

This isn’t just a farm—it’s a peek into rural Chongqing life. Families here have grown grapes for generations, and they’re eager to share stories. Try the grape-stomping festival in August (if you’re lucky!)—it’s like a mini wine-making party. You’ll also find straw-woven crafts and old farming tools on display. Fun fact: The villagers still follow traditions, like hanging red lanterns during harvests to “ward off bad luck”—they told me it’s their way of saying “come celebrate!”

Food & Facilities

Hungry? The on-site farmhouse restaurant serves grape-glazed chicken (trust me, it’s delicious) and fresh stir-fries. They even make grape juice right in front of you. For kids, there’s a sandpit play area and goat-feeding pens. Clean restrooms and picnic tables are everywhere, and if you want to stay longer, nearby Baishe Guesthouse offers cozy rooms with vineyard views.

What to Do Here

  1. Pick your own grapes—staff give you a basket, and you pluck as much as you can eat (or buy extra for a sweet deal).
  2. Ride bikes along shaded trails. The downhill paths are fun for kids!
  3. Take sunset photos at the yellow sunflower field near the entrance.
  4. Learn to make grape wine in a 30-minute workshop (they’ll ship it home for you!).

My Trip Tips

  • Best time to visit: Mid-July to early September for ripe grapes.
  • Wear: Comfy shoes (some trails are dirt), a hat, and sunscreen.
  • Avoid: Weekday mornings if you prefer fewer crowds.
  • Souvenirs: Buy a bag of dried grapes—they’re sun-cured and addictive!

Chongqing Bishan Grape Theme Park feels like a hidden gem. It’s not overrun with tourists, so you’ll get that “authentic China” vibe without the hassle. Whether you’re a foodie, nature lover, or culture buff, this spot has something juicy (and literally sweet) for everyone!
