The cold winter is the perfect season for strawberries, one of the best times to appreciate the taste of strawberries, the freshness and sweetness of it. You might want to consider Dahu area where you can visit strawberry farms. Just for a heads up and tips before going for picking strawberries:

1. Get there as early as possible especially on holiday and weekend, since many visitor will come around that time. If you came late you might get disappointed because all the big and red strawberries are gone.

2. You should find a smaller farm so you might get a little bit cheaper than the others
