Beijing's First Herb Garden

Destination Introduction — Beijing's First Herb Garden – Tanghe Herb Art Manor

Tanghe Herb Garden covers a total area of 300 acres. Based on herb-themed land art, it has become a paradise for art creators. With the water bodies around the herbs and the undulating mountains, structures such as the Herb Castle and Herb Clubhouse have been built, creating a high-end wellness, vacation, and leisure destination at the foot of the Great Wall — the most fashionable and romantic international-style Provence herb manor. "Water-based leisure" is the latest internationally advocated way to relax. Here, the green mountains shield you from worldly distractions, while a pool of fresh spring water awaits your arrival. You can splash and play in the water, reliving the carefree joy of youth, or go fishing and shrimp-catching for a taste of pastoral fun.

Services Provided:

Farm Life: The fragrance of lavender wafts through the air, mingling with the scent of sun-dried hay. It’s the aroma of “Provence” and the timeless fragrance of the herb garden. Pick fresh fruits and vegetables, learn how to milk a cow, or ride a horse to patrol the farm… Experience farm life and enjoy the leisurely pace of Provence.

Weddings: Make vows of “for better or for worse” amidst a sea of blooming flowers. The sweetness of love fills the world like the fragrance of lavender. In the distance stands the Great Wall, silently witnessing it all — a structure that has stood for two thousand years. Eternal promises, witnessed by the Great Wall, coexist with heaven and earth. A wedding in Provence at the foot of the Great Wall — where romance and devotion blend together in the herb garden.

Dining: Freshly picked fruits and vegetables, live fish from crystal-clear springs, little wild rabbits from the woods, free-range chickens and ducks… Whether you’ve picked, fished, or hunted them yourself, or had them carefully prepared for you, they are nothing but pure “green food.” Surrounded by green mountains, clear waters, birdsong, and floral scents, you can enjoy authentic rustic cuisine.

Handicrafts: Lavender originates from Provence in France. Beloved by locals for its elegant fragrance and medicinal benefits, it has spread throughout the world. In the herb garden, you can handcraft lavender sachets, essential oils, perfumes, soaps, candles, and more using ancient Provencal methods. Lavender is not only a symbol of romantic love, but also offers medicinal benefits such as calming the mind, treating insomnia, stimulating appetite, nourishing skin and beauty, reducing inflammation, and fading scars. It makes the perfect gift for lovers, yourself, or friends and family.

Herb Landscape Viewing Area & Lavender Fields: The lavender fields present distinctly different landscapes throughout the four seasons. In winter, after harvest and cutting, only short, neat withered stems remain, covered in snow, blending with the Great Wall. When spring arrives, green leaves emerge, fresh and pleasant. By June, a faint purple hue appears, and as the summer sun grows hotter, the lavender quickly transforms into a captivating deep purple. This continues until the end of September when all the fields have been harvested. Only then can the lavender fields take a breather, absorbing the essence of nature to prepare for another burst of purple blooms next summer.

Some Farm Market Stalls: If you’re used to the convenience and speed of supermarkets, do you still remember the lively, intimate childhood memories of traditional markets? At the herb garden’s farm market, the long-missed smiles of elderly vendors return, while young, beautiful women shyly tout their goods. Homegrown fruits and vegetables, free-range chicken, duck, fish, and a variety of handmade lavender products — sachets, essential oils, perfumes, soaps, candles, lavender herbal teas… A wide array of items await your selection.
