On June 23, the 2nd Grape Picking Festival of Lulong County, themed with “The Grapes of Baozigou are ripe”, was held in Baozigou Village, Gebo Town, Lulong County, which attracted many tourists to taste and pick grapes. It is a feast of grapes.
Hailed as the “Turfan of the Bohai Sea”, Baozigou Village is surrounded by mountains, because of the sufficient sunshine, large temperature difference between day and night, and long frost-free period, the grape produced here is juicy and sweet with thin peel and firm flesh, mainly including Meiguixiang(rose scent), Jufeng(giant peak), Meiguo Hongti(American red grape), Meirenzhi and Longyan.
“This picking festival has greatly improved the popularity of our grapes, and tourists come to buy grapes with a good price, and our income has been increased too.” said Zhang Dayong, director of the Baozigou Village Party Committee.
“We will further develop the grape brand of Baozigou, so that the grape planting becomes the ‘green bank’ of the people to get rich and be well-off,, further reduce the planting area of grain corn and increase the planting area of high-quality grapes. At present, the high quality grape area of the county has reached 20,000 mu.” said Tian Guang, director of the Agriculture and Rural Bureau of Lulong County.
During the event, 11 games have been prepared, such as “I am the picking king, I am the big stomach king, I am the mountain climbing king, I am the winemaking king, I am the yoga king, I am the grape king” and so on.
