Q: Where can I go strawberry picking in or around Beijing?

I've seen a poster on a bus but it flashed by too quickly. Has anyone ever gone strawberry picking close to Beijing? Know the name of the place or website info? Thanks!

Few things you can do, like Google "location of strawberry farms near Beijing" for more results.

One of the largest strawberry growers near Beijing is located at 2001-1-1, Nanxiaojie, Guangqumen, Chongwen District, Beijing.  They have about 800 greenhouses full of strawberries for you to pick.

There are lots of places in the suburbs where you can go picking strawberries.

There's a place in Shunyi called "北京绿富农果蔬产销专业合作社" which offers public strawberry picking until June. Their strawberries are quite expensive however - 60-150 per 500 grams.

Cheaper places can be found in Pinggu, Fangshan, Changping and Daxing Districts. If you can read Chinese, this website has all the details:

I can agree with Redaria. Strawberries and berries are more expensive in China. 

If you do go strawberry picking it won't be free. And it won't be without someone constantly watching you. Nothing is free and that is also true about picking strawberries in China. Somebody owns those strawberries so most likely you can't just go picking strawberries in a field. 

You won't be able to find any places in the inner city but on the outskirts of china places like the far North West of Beijing offers places to pick strawberries.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
