    Where I am, it's 150 RMB per person, which includes 3 jin (about 1.5kg) of loquats and lunch. Honestly, we don't make much profit, but the fruit is definitely good quality.

      I'm never buying again. I've been ripped off twice, and getting a refund is such a pain. Dongshan loquats are ruining their own reputation.

        Genuine Dongshan loquats can sell for 30 RMB per jin. Who would bother with 'pick-your-own' tours? We'd be reluctant to. My family certainly doesn't host them; we can barely keep up with fulfilling our existing orders.

          We each picked only about 2 jin (around 1kg), and it was 99 RMB per person, transportation included. You think they're losing money on that?

            You should come to our orchard next time to pick loquats! No scams, I promise. Feel free to give us a try, haha.

                The mountains are full of wild ones. Why bother with a tour group?

                    Just curious, how much do they charge for this?

                      I've posted some screenshots of my chat with friends where I was complaining. Take a look. I'm from Changzhou and went with a tour group. The whole experience is a long story, and there are so many things I want to write about. I'll try to write it all down tomorrow when I'm slacking off at work.
