Tienong Horticultural Garden
Tienong Horticultural Garden is a national AAA-rated tourist attraction.
The Tienong Horticultural Garden Resort is located 9 kilometers north of Qiqihar City, covering an area of 1,050 acres. It is a national-level agricultural tourism demonstration site and a national AA-rated tourist attraction. Nestled amidst the Qiqihar Railway Forest Farm and the "Three-North Shelterbelt," the garden is like a brilliant green jewel set between the Nianbei Expressway and the Qibei Railway Line. With tens of thousands of camphor pines, thousands of fruit trees, hundreds of acres of water surfaces, three hundred varieties of special vegetables, fifty-five species of wildflowers, twenty-four species of wild birds, ten species of wild mammals, two species of frogs, the garden has become a true Shangri-La beyond the Great Wall.
Upon entering the garden, the first thing that greets you is a sea of green. Spanning 200 acres, the Korean pine forest remains lush all year round, crisscrossed with cement paths, and dotted with fragrant wildflowers and lush grass. In the densest part of the central forest, there is also a wood ear cultivation area where fresh wood ears hang from logs in the summer. Visitors can stroll through the forest to breathe in fresh air, pick wood ears for a taste of wild fun, relax on benches under the shade of trees, or even rollerblade through the woods for a touch of modern excitement.
To the north of the pine forest lies a 30-acre orchard. In spring, while willows begin to sprout, the orchard is already blooming with fragrant flowers. By late July, it is laden with ripe fruits hanging from the branches—red plums, crabapples, and hawthorns are everywhere. Along the main pathways of the park, many cherry trees are planted, and every June, bright red cherries dot the branches like stars.
Features
The most distinctive feature of the garden is the 100-acre ecological special plant viewing and picking area, where over 300 rare and special vegetable varieties from around the world are cultivated. Strolling through the ecological garden, visitors are greeted with displays like the “Tomato Collection,” “Eggplant Collection,” “Pepper Collection,” “Pumpkin Collection,” and more—an overwhelming array of rare and unique vegetables. Guests can both taste and freely pick these crops. This area also serves as an educational base for children and students. The hundred-acre plot of special vegetables offers a hundred different flavors, allowing visitors to not only experience the charm of Qiqihar, the green food capital, but also to appreciate the vastness and richness of nature.
With neat enclosures, shady trees, and fluttering butterflies, this is the garden’s ecological breeding area. American wild geese dance gracefully, white doves soar and circle, turkeys coo softly, and dogs bark and leap joyfully. Many swallows and magpies also choose to stay here year-round. The special poultry and animals here are not only for visitors to admire but also serve as pure, natural, and green delicacies on the dining table.
Current Development
The garden offers exceptional reception capacity, a fresh and natural dining environment, and uses its own produce of green ingredients to create authentic green ecological meals for visitors. To meet the diverse needs of tourists, the guest room area includes high-end luxury suites, mid-range standard rooms, and lower to mid-range standard rooms, with a total of 1,600 beds. The garden houses multiple restaurants, karaoke rooms, and large, medium, and small meeting rooms, along with over twenty recreational activities such as swimming, fishing, chess, and ball games. Currently, the garden is developing winter fishing and ice-and-snow sports programs, aiming to build a comprehensive winter tourism product featuring dining, accommodation, and entertainment.
Take a boat ride on the Garden Lake, watch the reeds sway, admire the wild geese wandering, listen to the early spring frog croaks, and fish for a moment of leisure. Here, humans and nature are perfectly united.
