Waxberries recently entered their best harvest season in Shixing county, Shaoguan, south China's Guangdong Province.
With high medicinal value, a pleasant taste and a ruby hue, waxberry is considered the "agate in the fruit kingdom."
"We're glad to visit at a time when the harvest festival kicks off, and to collect pretty and delicious waxberries," said a visitor surnamed Li, from Guangzhou, capital city of Guangdong, adding it's her first time to pick waxberries.
Shixing county, known as the "hometown of Chinese waxberries," enjoys a 300-year tradition of waxberry planting. It is one of the largest waxberry planting bases in Guangdong, covering an area of 32,000 mu (2,133 hectares).
