Fruit Country Resort sits in Fengxian District, Shanghai, nestled near the intersection of Mingguang Jianqian Highway 3858 and Pingzhuang Road. It’s a 45-minute drive from downtown Shanghai, making it a perfect escape without straying too far from the city. If you’re coming by public transport, take Metro Line 5 to Fengxian City Station, then hop on a taxi or a local bus—the countryside views start even before you arrive!

Natural Scenery: A Fruit-Lover’s Paradise

As soon as you step into Fruit Country Resort, you’re greeted by rows of fruit trees. Depending on the season, you’ll spot everything from golden peaches and sweet oranges to ripe persimmons and crisp white棗 (Chinese dates). In winter, the hills turn into a sea of tea blossoms, with delicate white flowers covering the slopes. Walk along the shaded paths, and you’ll hear ducks quacking by the fishing pond and chickens clucking in the orchards—it’s like a living postcard of rural Shanghai!

Cozy Accommodations & Local Vibes

Fruit Country Resort offers all sorts of stays to fit your style. There are two fancy villas, cute log cabins, and traditional courtyard houses. My favorite? The rooms with fruit trees right outside the window. At night, it’s super quiet except for the crickets—perfect for stargazing! The decor mixes old-school Shanghai charm with modern comforts, so you don’t feel like you’re roughing it.

Farm-to-Table Fun (And Flavor!)

The food here is a big reason to visit. The resort’s restaurant serves homestyle farm dishes made with veggies straight from their own gardens. You can even pick your own spinach, kale, or Chinese chives! Try the “peach garden chicken” (raised in the orchards) or fresh-caught fish from the pond. Each dining room has a different view—some overlook the gardens, others face the fish pond. It’s like eating in a mini-garden!

Activities for Everyone

Bored? You won’t be here. Fruit Country Resort has a huge indoor tennis court, ping-pong rooms, and a fishing pool stocked with fish. There’s also a karaoke room, mahjong tables, and conference halls if you’re mixing business with pleasure. For relaxers, stroll through the fruit groves, feed the goats, or try your hand at harvesting (ask the staff for seasonal tips!).

Tips for Your Trip

  • Best time to visit: Spring (flowers) and fall (fruit harvest).
  • For families: Kids love feeding the ducks, picking fruits, and running around the fields.
  • Pro tip: Rent a bike to explore nearby villages—it’s a cool way to see how locals live.

Whether you’re craving a quiet retreat or a playful day out, Fruit Country Resort feels like a hidden gem. Bring your comfiest shoes, a light jacket, and a hunger for fresh air—and fruit, of course!
