Fengxian Huaguoshan Baizao Garden
Shanghai Huaguoshan Baizao Garden is situated in Qingcun Town, Fengxian District, bordered by the A30 Expressway to the south and connected to Funan Highway to the north. Originally established as Shanghai Fenghe Specialty Fruit Industry Co., Ltd. in 1998, it was listed as a key municipal forestry project in Shanghai in 2000. The garden spans 750 acres with a total investment of 16.8 million yuan. It serves as a municipal-level research base integrating fruit tree introduction, breeding, production demonstration, technology promotion, and leisure tourism, and is Shanghai’s first municipal-level specialty small fruit variety base. In 2002, it was awarded the title of "National Specialty Seedling Base" by the State Forestry Administration, and the fresh jujubes produced that year were certified as "safe, hygienic, and high-quality agricultural products" by the Shanghai Agricultural Products Certification Center.
Fengxian Huaguoshan boasts lush fruit trees with fresh produce available all year round: loquats in May, nectarines and Daguan peaches in June, honey peaches, Lakeview Honeydew, Xinfeng Honeydew, Half-Jin peaches, yellow peaches, grapes, and Crystal pears in July and August, date jujubes and Golden Silk jujubes in September and October, winter jujubes, pomegranates, small square persimmons, large square persimmons, and Japanese sweet persimmons in October and November... Among them, jujube trees reign supreme. The garden dedicates 460 acres to jujube cultivation, featuring over 80 varieties that include more than 20 types of rare jujubes from across the country. Winter jujubes and date jujubes dominate, covering over 300 acres with an annual yield of more than 1,000 tons, truly earning the title "Shanghai's Kingdom of Hundred Jujubes."
Huaguoshan Baizao Garden makes full use of its diverse fruit tree and variety resources, complemented by well-developed tourism and leisure facilities. It has built multiple scenic spots and developed a series of sightseeing, leisure, and agricultural experience programs, now making it a popular destination for rural tourism in Fengxian.
