Beijing Sightseeing Pumpkin Park

Beijing Sightseeing Pumpkin Park

Beijing Sightseeing Pumpkin Park is located in Yujia Township, Tongzhou District, just over 1,000 meters from the Yujia exit of the Beijing-Tianjin Second Expressway and only 5 kilometers from the Caiyu exit of the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Expressway, offering convenient transportation. The park makes full use of existing natural resources to highlight the characteristics of agricultural sightseeing and leisure. Themed around agricultural leisure, the Beijing Sightseeing Pumpkin Park spans 500 acres and is a comprehensive ecological sightseeing park integrating pumpkin sightseeing, leisure entertainment, science education, and catering banquets. The park features a 12,000-square-meter pumpkin variety exhibition greenhouse, uniquely designed and surrounded by landscapes, including a pumpkin exhibition corridor showcasing over 280 varieties, a Pumpkin Halloween Square, a Pumpkin Sculpture Square, vegetable science cultivation areas, an under-construction Dream Science Museum, and a variety of oddly shaped ornamental pumpkins, giving visitors the feeling of entering a fairy-tale art world of pumpkins. The greenhouses maintain a spring-like climate all year round. The park has 20 solar greenhouses where visitors can experience farming and growing fruits and vegetables. By balancing development and conservation, and applying ecological principles for vertical planting, the park forms a resource-recycling and positive ecological cycle. The picking garden specially employs experienced horticulturists to manage crop cultivation, allowing visitors to enjoy the joy and satisfaction of harvest during their picking experience. Varieties available for picking include: various pumpkins, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, jujubes, watermelons, some southern fruits, and specialty vegetables.

In addition, the park also offers accommodations, a children’s playground, table tennis rooms, tennis courts, badminton courts, billiard rooms, and a professional karaoke room for fitness and entertainment. There is an eco-friendly restaurant that can accommodate 500 diners at once. Pumpkins contain starch, protein, carotene, vitamins B and C, amino acids, active proteins, lipids, calcium, phosphorus, and other components. They not only have high nutritional value but also offer notable therapeutic benefits such as nourishing lungs and boosting energy, resolving phlegm and draining pus, expelling parasites and detoxifying, treating coughs and relieving wheezing, curing lung abscesses and constipation, as well as promoting diuresis and beautifying the skin. In recent years, research and experiments by medical experts both domestically and internationally have shown that eating pumpkins can also treat prostate enlargement, prevent prostate cancer, prevent arteriosclerosis and gastric mucosal ulcers, and especially help treat diabetes and dissolve stones. The researchers in the park have fully utilized these nutritional and therapeutic values of pumpkins to develop a series of health-preserving pumpkin dishes, such as pumpkin juice, pumpkin rice, pumpkin soup, pumpkin candy, and pumpkin health soups, highlighting the unique flavors of different pumpkin varieties while maximizing nutritional retention. These dishes are colorful, delicious, and suitable for all ages.

Since its opening on July 19, 2008, the park has successfully hosted several large-scale events, such as the opening ceremony, Halloween parties, and Christmas galas, as well as several wedding banquets and conferences.

The planning and design of the Pumpkin Park fully considered basic conditions, resource environments, and industrial development environments. As a result, after project implementation, its advantages in product market competitiveness and technological content will be significantly evident. It now plays an important demonstrative role in the development of modern agriculture in Tongzhou District and even the suburban areas of Beijing, while also prominently driving agricultural industrial restructuring, increasing farmers’ income, and creating more job opportunities. To date, Beijing Sightseeing Pumpkin Park has received over 44,000 visitors, generating direct revenue of 7,160,000 yuan, with no complaints received. The establishment of the Pumpkin Park has led nearby villages to cultivate over 2,000 acres of open-field pumpkins, organized and established the Beijing Dongsheng Fumin Pumpkin Professional Cooperative, solved employment and product sales issues for farmers, and increased per capita income by 2,000 yuan. The park employs 240 people, 200 of whom are local farmers.

The park aims for urban modern agriculture, promotes the slogan “Green, Ecological, Harmonious, Healthy, New Life,” and adheres to business philosophies of integrity, perfect service, and making guests feel at home. It has established a complete set of service standards and management systems. All staff are committed to operating legally, acting lawfully, and upholding the principle of “guests first, service foremost,” ensuring that guests leave satisfied and happy.
