Location & Accessibility
Sweet Xiaozhuang Strawberry Farm sits in Yufeng Mountain Town, a breath of fresh air just 30 minutes’ drive from downtown Chongqing. Imagine escaping the city buzz and arriving at a valley wrapped in gentle hills—this hidden gem feels like a mini escape into nature. To get here, hop in a taxi or rent a car (GPS: “Yufeng Shan Zhen”), or take the local bus 910 from Hongya Cave—easy peasy!
Nature’s Playground
At Sweet Xiaozhuang, you’re surrounded by rows of strawberry patches that stretch as far as the eye can see. During winter and spring, the farm bursts with red, juicy berries, while summer turns it into a green paradise with leafy plants swaying in the breeze. The air smells sweet, thanks to all that fresh produce and pine trees nearby. Bring your camera—sunset here paints the sky pink, just like a strawberry smoothie!
Pick-Your-Own Fun
Forget boring tours—here, you play! Grab a basket and wander through the fields, popping strawberries straight from the plant. Kids go crazy for it, and grown-ups feel like kids again. The best part? The farm hands are super friendly, teaching you how to spot the ripest berries. Pro tip: Visit early morning when the sun isn’t harsh, and the strawberries glisten with dew.
Local Vibes & Culture
Yufeng Mountain Town isn’t just about strawberries. Nearby, you’ll find tiny villages where old-school farmers grow veggies or brew tea. Some weekends, the farm hosts live music or strawberry festivals with games and dances. It’s a chance to chat with locals, try homemade snacks (think strawberry pancakes!), and feel what rural Chongqing really vibes like.
Perks for Visitors
The farm’s got your back. Parking? Free and spacious. Sore feet? Chill under a straw hut with ice cream or lemonade. They even have clean restrooms—a rare treat in rural China! Before leaving, stop by the gift shop for jams, dried strawberries, or cute plant pots. Trust me, you’ll want to take a piece of Sweet Xiaozhuang home.
The Full Experience
A day at Sweet Xiaozhuang isn’t rushed. Start with berry-picking, then lounge under a tree with a strawberry milkshake. Wander up the nearby trails for forest views, or challenge your friends to a “who can pick the biggest strawberry” contest. End it with a photo op holding a giant strawberry heart—the farm has props for this! It’s relaxed, laughter-filled, and exactly what a countryside trip should be.
Ready to go? Sweet Xiaozhuang Strawberry Farm is open year-round (call ahead for seasonal hours), and it’s a zero-hassle day trip from Chongqing. See you there with a basket full of sunshine!
