In Yanxiazhou village nestled in Linhai, a county-level city in Taizhou, Zhejiang province, the mulberry harvest has arrived.

At the picking garden, the branches are laden with clusters of dark, juicy mulberries, glistening like precious gems amid the verdant foliage.

The air is filled with the sweet scent of ripe mulberries, drawing in crowds of visitors, who stroll through the garden and pick the succulent fruit, eager to enjoy the natural delicacy.

This village has been growing mulberries for more than 10 years, and the fruit has become popular for its sweet flavor and favorable price.

The mulberry is rich in nutrients, including active proteins, vitamins, and amino acids. Mulberries reach their peak sweetness every year during the May Day holiday, attracting a surge of tourists and providing a substantial boost to the local economy.
