Shengzhuang Town

Shengzhuang Town

Shengzhuang Town in Tai'an City is located in central Shandong, adjacent to the eastern side of Mount Tai Scenic Area. Situated in the eastern part of Tai'an, the town includes 40 villages, 5 administrative districts, and a population of over 60,000 people. It is 6.8 kilometers from the city center, with a total area of 68 square kilometers. The town benefits from a strategically advantageous location, with major roads such as the Tai-Lai, Tai-Xin, Tai-Liang highways, - Road, and the Xin-Tai Railway running through its territory. Shengzhuang Town boasts a long history, rich folk traditions, religious culture, and notable historical figures—all of which have contributed to a wealth of tourism resources and laid a solid foundation for the development of tourism in the area.

Shengzhuang is rich in natural resources, with a wide variety of seedlings cultivated within its jurisdiction and a fairly large-scale seedling trading market already established. Leveraging the natural environment and advantages of its villages, the town has already built two major tourist attractions: the Xiaojinkou Folk Tourism Resort and the Qijiatan Scenic Area. These are used to promote folk tourism and drive the overall tourism efforts of the town. The town enjoys a pleasant climate that is particularly suitable for growing Tai'an Daughter Tea. Taking full advantage of this unique condition, Shengzhuang has vigorously developed tea cultivation and is focused on creating the Tai'an Daughter Tea Culture Experience Park, which has an overall planned area of over 1,000 acres.

Shengzhuang also has abundant cultural resources. Its rich folklore, religious heritage, and notable historical figures have all contributed to a wealth of tourism resources. For example, in the summer of the 22nd year of Emperor Qianlong’s reign (1757), during the fourth lunar month, the emperor traveled to Tai'an, paid homage at Dai Temple, and ascended Mount Tai to worship the Goddess Bixia. Along the way, passing through the southern suburbs of Tai'an, he was delighted by the vast expanses of fertile fields and the serene, beautiful scenery. He asked the local magistrate of Tai'an County: “Are there any landowners here who possess large tracts of fertile land?” The magistrate replied: “The Zhang family of Yuanzhuang Village owns over a thousand hectares of good farmland and is a prosperous household.” Upon hearing this, the emperor personally inscribed a plaque reading “Home of a Thousand Hectares” and bestowed it upon the Zhang family. This plaque was cherished by the Zhang descendants and kept in their Stone House until the Cultural Revolution, when both the plaque and the house were destroyed during the campaign to "Smash the Four Olds." Today, the ruins of the Stone House, known as the “Thousand Hectare Plaque,” can still be found to the north of Yuanzhuang Village in eastern Shengzhuang. In the villages of Shengyuan and Ganshang in Shengzhuang Town, folk traditions are strong. From New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, lion dances and dry-land boat performances are held. These activities not only enrich the villagers' leisure life but also allow visitors to gain a vivid understanding of local folk culture.

Tai'an Fantawild Adventure is located in Taishan District, Tai'an City, adjacent to the eastern side of Mount Tai Scenic Area. The park covers an area of approximately 500,000 square meters, with a total investment of nearly 2 billion yuan. It is an internationally first-class, fourth-generation theme park. Fantawild Adventure is distinguished by its focus on science fiction and animation, created using top-tier international concepts and technology. It can rival the most advanced theme parks in the West and is hailed as the "Oriental Fantasy Park."

Tai'an Fantasyland is a distinctive sightseeing agricultural tourism destination themed around orchids. It is home to Asia’s largest research, tissue culture, breeding, and production base for Phalaenopsis, as well as the Expo Center for the China Tai'an International Orchid Festival. In 2008, it was designated as a Provincial Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site by the Shandong Provincial Tourism Bureau, and in 2009, it successfully hosted the first China Tai'an International Orchid Festival. Tai'an Fantasyland centers its leisure tourism around its massive orchid industry and sightseeing agriculture, integrating the profound culture of Mount Tai to create a uniquely distinctive tourist attraction.
