Strawberry is a delight by itself, but when one hand-picks strawberry from the farm, the exprience is indeed thrilling and delightful.

The name Rose Valley is quite misleading as the place is more of a rose nursery. However, it is worth the visit to explore different varieties of rose flowers and some other flower species.
