The continuous hot weather in Hefei makes spending the holiday in mountainous or rural areas a popular choice for citizens.

During the summer holiday, many families choose 'agritainment' as a destination for road trips because of the comfortable weather there. 'Agritainment' is a kind of leisure tour in rural areas that includes activities such as fruit picking, fishing and family-style meals. In Hefei, agritainment tours mainly take place in scenic areas in Luyang district and Baohe district.

Thanks to the hot weather in urban areas, many agritainment tours are booming. To attract more tourists, the tours have launched some new attractions, such as water games. The pollution-free food in rural areas is also popular with tourists.

For a better tourism experience, tourists should take the tour on weekdays to avoid crowds.
