Every year from March to April, the fully grown plums cover the branches. The low-lying fruits are picked by hand. For the plums at the top of the tree, we first take four corners under the tree and lay large canvases. The orchard workers climb to the tree and shake the branches, or use the bamboo poles with hooks to hook the branches and shake them. Then the plums are dropped on the canvas one by one. People can buy the green plums themselves, experience the process of pickling the plums. The pickled plums can be made into crispy plums, honey-stained plums, candied plums, etc., Those plum lovers must not miss it.
