This year's Xiahei grapes have a good shape and a sweet and sour taste, and are very popular among visitors.

The Tongchuang family farm is currently growing six varieties of grapes, and picking season is expected to last until October.

Xie Hongmei, owner of the farm, returned to her hometown in 2015 to start her own business. After seven years, the farm expanded from the original 20 mu (1.33 hectares) to 150 mu.
