Hawthorn harvest draws buyers and tourists to Fei county orchards

Villagers in Cenbeiya village, Shangye town, Fei county, Linyi, East China's Shandong province, have nearly finished harvesting this season's hawthorn crop, with neighbors organizing mutual-aid groups to pick and sort the bright red fruit in orchards that have been cultivated for more than a decade.

The village grows its hawthorn with biomass organic fertilizer and soybean-based bacterial fertilizer, producing plump, high-quality fruit whose reputation now draws outside buyers directly to the fields. Tourists, including visitors from Shanghai, also come to pick fruit and carry bags of it home.
