On Dec 28, 2012 we visited Tianyi Strawberry Garden in the very early morning. Well just follow us in the strawberry garden. Tianyi Strawberry Garden is located Xingshou Township of Changping District in the north of Beijing city. It takes around 40 minutes van ride from the downtown Beijing.

Tianyi Strawberry Garden is actually a farmland dotted with rows of greenhouses where strawberries, cherries or other fruit trees are grown. By the entrance, there is a strawberry exhibition center. It looks quite shabby, due to the early winter low picking season.
