Imperial Mulberry Garden

Imperial Mulberry Garden is a national-level forest park.

Destination Introduction

Imperial Mulberry Garden is the largest ancient mulberry forest in North China, located in Qianyechang Village, Anding Town, Daxing District, Beijing. Legend has it that mulberry trees have been planted here since the Eastern Han Dynasty, leaving behind the timeless tale of “Mulberries from Yaowa Saving Emperor Liu Xiu, Who in Gratitude Crowned the Trees as Kings.” The oldest trees here are over 500 years old. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the mulberries produced here were once served as tribute in the imperial palace. Special Note

Nowadays, it has become a great spot for mulberry picking. When ripe, the mulberries are juicy, sweet and tangy, with an exceptionally pleasant taste. They are also truly natural and green food — the mulberries are grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and can be eaten directly (don’t worry, eating unwashed mulberries won’t upset your stomach; washing them might actually make them go bad). Aside from being edible, mulberries also have high medicinal value. Since ancient times, they have been used both as fruit and traditional Chinese medicine, earning the title “King of Fruits.” They can nourish blood and yin, promote fluid production to relieve thirst, benefit liver and kidney, and help regulate sleep.
