These days, the orchards of Jiulong Village in Tongren, southwest China’s Guizhou are bursting with ripe grapes. This 40-hectare expanse of alpine grapes has entered its annual harvest season. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the grapes are bright in color and sweet in taste, making them popular with consumers.

The grapes here are planted on mountain slopes. With an average annual temperature of around 22℃, plenty of rain and ample sunshine, the local climate creates the perfect conditions for the grapes to build up sugar.

To make buying easier for consumers, Jiulong Village has developed an “online + offline” sales model. People can order online or by phone. Shoppers who order more than 25 kg can also get free delivery to the city. The more they buy, the lower the price. Customers can also go to the orchard to pick grapes themselves and enjoy the countryside.
