There are many blueberry planting farms in Chongqing, and the following paragraphs will recommend the well-selected ones, where you can not only pick this fruit but also have fun in their neighboring scenic spots.
Lecui Blueberry Park is located by Daguan Town, Nanchuan District, and the blueberries, about 0.26 square kilometers, have become ripe.
