It is understood that this year, Shangluo Village has carefully organized persimmon season themed activities, upgraded the persimmon forest viewing area, optimized the viewing field, added internet celebrity check-in points, and improved cultural and tourism supporting facilities. Shangluo Village continues to be popular this year. On the first day of National Day, it attracted 25,000 tourists who came to pick persimmons, stroll through the countryside, and immerse themselves in the rich harvest atmosphere of the countryside. Many tourists depart from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, Dongguan and other places and go to Shangluo Village to enjoy their holidays by self-driving or public transportation.
On the forest trails, parents and children travel back and forth to experience the pastoral joy of picking persimmons with their own hands; on the observation deck, young tourists stop to take photos and freeze the beautiful scenery of red persimmons in the mountains; in the fields and mountains, tourists stroll leisurely, immersing themselves in the slow-paced pastoral life. Laughter echoes in the mountains and fields, and the autumn harvest scene meets the festive atmosphere of National Day, which directly fills the atmosphere.
"I've been seeing the beautiful scenery of the Persimmon Sea in Shangluo Village, Conghua for a long time. I brought my family here to check it out during the National Day holiday!" Ms. Chen from Foshan came back with a full load, holding freshly picked persimmons in her hands. She happily shared, "You don't have to go far away. The Pearl River Delta has such a healing mountain scenery. You can pick fruits and breathe fresh air. The children have a great time."
Wang Junning, a cadre of Shangluo Village Committee, said that this year, 1,800 new parking spaces have been added in the village, and 28 persimmon viewing parks are planned to be built in the village. The 302 subway express bus of Shiziji Season seamlessly connects to the Conghua Passenger Transport Station of the subway, connecting multiple cultural and tourism points directly to Shangluo Village. The Luo Village Committee has increased the number of buses to every 20 to 30 minutes during the National Day; it has simultaneously opened a free P+R connection line in Luodong during peak hours, taking multiple measures to guide green travel, further alleviating on-site traffic pressure and improving tourists' sense of happiness.

It is reported that in Shangluo Village, the fun in autumn goes beyond persimmon picking and fruit picking. It also unlocks multiple experiences of nature sightseeing, parent-child study, and leisure and entertainment in one stop. In the adjacent Luodong Craftsman Town, you can experience traditional handicraft research projects and enjoy the scenery of contiguous rice fields, achieving a dual immersive experience of "persimmon appreciation + science popularization"; various business formats such as playing in the water by the stream, making tea by the fire, and outdoor barbecue are suitable for various scenarios such as family outings and gatherings with friends. There are a dazzling array of convenience stalls in the village, including bamboo rice, seasonal farm specialties, and innovative persimmon special coffee, persimmon ice cream and other special delicacies, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the exclusive taste of autumn "from the sweetness on the branches to the tip of the tongue".
According to reports, relying on the unique persimmon specialty industry, Conghua continues to develop a new integrated development model of "agriculture + cultural tourism + research and study". By holding persimmon season theme activities to divert traffic, improve transportation infrastructure, and enrich rural cultural tourism formats, rural ecology and cultural tourism resources will be revitalized. It not only effectively promotes the operation of local B&Bs, farmhouses and the sales of agricultural products, allowing villagers to achieve "employment at their doorstep and increase income nearby", but also more accurately empowers the implementation of "millions of projects" to achieve results, vividly painting a beautiful picture of high-quality development of rural revitalization.
