Changli Grape Valley

About
Changli Grape Valley lies about 7.2 km northwest of Changli county town, a national 3A-rated agricultural tourism site built around century-old grape trellises. Visitors can walk the shaded vine corridors and pick and taste several fresh-eating grape varieties from July through November, peaking in September. As Changli is known as China's wine town, the valley pairs well with a visit to a nearby winery for a full day of vineyard-themed sightseeing.

Before you go
- Peak picking season is August-September, though different grape varieties are ready for picking anywhere from July to November.
- Admission to the valley is free, but picking grapes inside the orchards is usually charged by weight — ask about pricing before you start.
- Combine it with nearby wineries such as Huaxia Manor and Chateau Kings International Winery for a full wine-country day trip.
- Summer and autumn sun in Changli can be strong, so bring sun protection and wear light shoes suited to walking between the fields.
- There are many independent growers on site, so it's worth comparing a few before you buy; weekends in peak season can get crowded.
Tickets Admission to the scenic area itself is free; entering individual picking orchards to harvest grapes is charged separately, either by weight or by each orchard's own rules, and prices vary by vendor — confirm with the growers on site.
