SHANGHAI will have five public fruit gardens and five forest parks by
2007, city greening officials said yesterday.

One of the fruit gardens, Malu Vineyard, has already opened, according to
Ding Qinhua, vice director of the Shanghai Forest Resources Management
Department.

The Jiading District vineyard boasts a "Grape Corridor" that opened last
week, where tourists can pick grapes for 50 yuan (US$6) per kilogram. In
addition, a grape trellis will be built by the vineyard's lake before the
end of the year.

"Couples can ride boats past the grape trellis," said Ding. "It will be
rather romantic."

Both highway A12, and city tour bus No. 8 lead to the vineyard. Entry
costs 30 yuan each.

In Nanhui District, the Nanhui Peach Expo Park will have its welcome map
out next April. All-you-can-eat peaches will cost each person 60 yuan.

Two of the five forest parks will be in Fengxian District. The Shenlong
Ecological Park, opened this March, and the National Gulf Forest Park,
scheduled to open next year, are the nearest camping sites from the city
center. Daily buses to Shenlong are already running from the bus center.

The Hanyang Forest Resort in Songjiang District will also open early next
year. Started in 1995, the resort now has over 1.5 million trees.
