It is summer and Taizhou city in East China's Jiangsu province has welcomed the much-anticipated arrival of a host of marvelous seasonal fruit.
Check out the picking guide, then bring your basket and dive right into the orchards there on weekends!
Watermelon is maybe the perfect choice for summer. People can easily cut one open, with its bright red flesh shining with a moist luster.
Whether eating half a watermelon with a spoon or making it into watermelon juice, it is a refreshing delight in the heat of summer.
Recommended picking points include Fengqi Lake Farm in Kouan sub-district and Qilin Bay Huimin Fruit and Vegetable Professional Cooperative in Chengxi sub-district.
Yellow loquat is also an excellent choice, with a thin outer skin wrapped around succulent watery flesh. Peel off the skin and a strong fruity aroma instantly wafts out. Fruit producer Yushanyuan Ecological Agriculture in the Taizhou Medical High-tech Zone is a great place for picking them.

Adding to the fun, blueberries are also popular this time of the year. The white fruit powder on the blueberry peel is rich in nutrients. Simply pick one and pop it into your mouth to feel the purity of its natural flavor. Pick blueberries at Weiqingyuan Orchard in Baima town.
