Daxing Ten-Thousand-Mu Pear Blossom Manor
Destination Introduction On the eastern side of the ancient embankment of the millennia-old Yongding River lies an expansive grove of ancient pear trees that stretch as far as the eye can see. The area’s specialty, the "Golden-Handled Yellow" pear, along with the name of its origin, has been recorded in the 400-year history of tribute fruits renowned throughout Beijing. To this day, the legend of “crisp green radishes from Beicun and golden-handled yellow pears from Nanzhuang” continues to be told. Even now, the story of the tribute pears lives on, and Nanzhuang Village has been renamed Pear Blossom Village due to its profusion of pear blossoms.
Today, the "Beijing Ten-Thousand-Mu Pear Blossom Manor," built adjacent to the village, has become a famous "Golden-Handled Yellow Tourism Area," the venue for the Daxing Harvest Festival in Beijing and the China Melon Capital Ten-Thousand-Mu Pear Garden Flower Viewing Festival. It is a wonderful place for people to connect with nature, engage in cultural exchanges both domestically and internationally, and showcase the simple folk customs, sentiments, and traditions.
