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:https://chinabyteaching.com/teaching-english-in-china/am-i-eligible-to-teach-in-china/ 6. Age requirements There is no single nationwide age rule applied consistently across all of China. In reality, most Z Visa approvals tend to cap somewhere around the mid-50s, but how strictly this is applied varies by province and employer. Age is often more of a hiring preference than a legal rule. Kindergartens, for example, may prefer younger teachers, while international schools often view age as experience and are more flexible. Ironically, even ‘young’ and ‘older’ are subjective – some Chinese employers might deem 40 to be ‘too old’ to teach kindergartners! If you are at all concerned about age, it is best to raise this early with recruiters to avoid wasting time with the wrong job applications. At the end of the day, you should strive to find a school that appreciates your experience. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china Requirements to teach in ChinaTeaching English jobs are competitive in China, and to teach legally in China, you'll have to meet a few qualifications:English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL).Bachelor’s degreeCriminal background checkTeaching certificate: TEFL, CELTA, or teaching license from your home country.Authenticated documents: Bachelor's degrees, criminal background checks, and teaching certificates will need to be legalized and authenticated. This helps international employers recognize their authenticity. Be under the Chinese retirement age of 55 (women) or 60 (men) years old The qualifications for teaching abroad in China are strict, and teaching in China on a tourist or business visa is illegal and can lead to fines or deportation.   -- icnif77
