Fengshan Hundred-Fruit Garden
Fengshan Hundred-Fruit Garden is located in Qiaozhi Town, Huairou District, Beijing, covering an area of 20 square kilometers. It consists of over 20 distinctive agricultural picking gardens, including Zhongtian Hanhai, Guose Tianxiang Peony Garden, Danish Berry Garden, Yanlaihong Winter Jujube Garden, and Walnut Garden. It is an urban-style modern agricultural park that combines agricultural sightseeing, folk tourism, leisure vacation, dining and entertainment, science education, and the display of premium fruits. The garden boasts a rich variety of fruits all year round, featuring signature fruits such as Gaga jujubes, as well as popular dried and fresh produce like raspberries, strawberries, Beishan large flat almonds, and paper-shell walnuts.
In recent years, Huairou District has integrated the characteristics and resource advantages of its regional agriculture with urban functional needs. By adopting a model of “zonal planning, resource-based development, industry-specific growth, tiered pricing, and classified visitor reception,” and guided by the concept of urban-rural interaction, the district has injected vibrant energy into the adjustment of its rural industrial structure. Under the strategic approach of government guidance, corporate operation, association promotion, exemplary demonstration, and policy support, Fengshan Hundred-Fruit Garden has emerged as a successful exploration of Huairou District’s implementation of “creative agriculture” and the park-oriented development model for agriculture.

In 2007, construction of the Fengshan Hundred-Fruit Garden began on the basis of multi-party deliberation and scientific planning. The project covers a “U”-shaped area encompassing 19 villages in Qiaozhi Town across 20 square kilometers. The garden has received a total investment of over 50 million yuan. Construction highlights include key sites such as Yiduhe Red Square, Yukou Forest Park, Eheya Farm Gate Area, and the Fengshan Hundred-Fruit Garden Agricultural Products Wholesale Market. It also involved the comprehensive renovation and upgrade of over 20 picking gardens, including Zhongtian Hanhai and the Winter Jujube Garden. The project introduced 104 new grafted varieties of jujubes, built one eco-restaurant, 114 solar greenhouses, 52 steel-framed greenhouses, and 15 parking lots. Thanks to the success of Fengshan Hundred-Fruit Garden, Qiaozhi Town has developed 28 farmer professional cooperatives, helping 6,047 farming households increase their incomes and achieve prosperity, while also creating long-term employment for over 1,000 local farmers.
