Beizhai Cherry Festival – Mount Lao

Every year at the end of May, BeiZhai hosts Mount Lao’s Cherry Festival. Local farmers open their orchards for a set fee where you can pick and eat as many cherries as you like. BeiZhai is located on the north-western side of Laoshan Scenic Area along the Bin Hai Expressway corridor.

The Beizhai Cherry Festival kicks off at Mount Lao (Laoshan 崂山)! Every year at the end of May local Qingdao farmers open their orchards to the public where you can pick and eat as many cherries as you want for a set fee. Last year the price was around 30 RMB, however this year despite the local government’s recommendations, the farmers have set the price between 50 and 80 RMB. Beizhai is located near the site of the 2014 International Horticultural Exposition in a fertile valley along Bin Hai Expressway. Beizhai Cherry Farm Map
