The harvest season is coming, and the vineyards in Wuxi's Hongshan town are bursting with fresh grapes!

Hongshan started to grow grapes back in the 1980s, and now produces over 5,000 tons of grapes a year.

The town is organizing a month-long promotion campaign to encourage people to come and have fun picking grapes.

You can catch a free bus to Hongshan from Taihu Square in downtown Wuxi at 8:00 am every Saturday.

All the major tourist attractions in Hongshan will also be free until Aug 27.
