Wansheng Heishan Blueberry Garden

Location & How to Get There

Wansheng Heishan Blueberry Garden sits in the lush hills of Yuzi Village, Baishui Creek, near Wansheng District in Chongqing. It’s about a 90-minute drive from central Chongqing, nestled between rolling mountains and freshwater streams. To reach it, you can:

Drive yourself: Use a GPS app and set the destination to “Yuzi Village, Wansheng.” The winding roads offer stunning mountain views.
Public transport: Take a bus from Chongqing’s South Long Beach Station to Wansheng District, then hire a local taxi or motorbike for the final 15-minute hilly ride.
Join a tour: Many Chongqing travel agencies offer day trips here, especially during blueberry season (June–August).

Natural Scenery: A Mountain Escape

The garden is surrounded by Heishan Mountain’s dense forests, which earn it its name. In spring and summer, the hills turn vibrant green, and the air smells fresh and earthy. The blueberry bushes blanket the slopes like a purple-blue carpet, especially striking under the sun. A small creek runs nearby, adding a calming soundtrack of flowing water.

For hikers, there’s a short trail through the garden that connects to wider paths in Heishan Mountain. Along the way, you’ll spot wildflowers, butterflies, and maybe even monkeys if you’re lucky!

Cultural Touches: Local Life

This isn’t just a farm—it’s a window into rural Chongqing life. The villagers here are warm and often share stories about traditional farming methods. During your visit, you might see:

Elders drying herbs or tea leaves in front of their houses.
Families working together to harvest berries, singing folk songs.
Local kids playing by the stream or chasing chickens.

If you visit on a festival day, you might catch a village celebration with dances, music, and homemade food.

Facilities: Comfort Meets Nature

Don’t worry about roughing it—the garden has basic but clean amenities:

A shaded resting area with tables and chairs for picnics.
A small snack stall selling blueberry juice, ice cream, and light meals.
Free parking for cars and bikes.
Simple restrooms (bring your own tissues, just in case!).

For longer stays, ask staff about homestays in nearby villages. Families rent out rooms, and you’ll get a taste of home-cooked Sichuan dishes.

The Blueberry Experience: Pick Your Own Fun

The highlight? Wandering through rows of blueberry plants and picking your own! Here’s what to expect:

Season: Peak time is June to August, when berries are plump and juicy.
Guidelines: You’ll get a small basket and gloves. Eat as many berries as you like while picking—no one minds!
Cost: Around 50-80 RMB per person for all-you-can-eat (prices vary by season).
Tips: Mornings are cooler and less crowded. Bring sunscreen and a hat.

After picking, head to the tasting area to try blueberry jam, cake, or even blueberry-infused liquor. The gift shop sells jars to take home—perfect for souvenirs!
