Meishan

On a summer afternoon, the hills are ablaze with lychee blossoms. Gazing at the reservoir, the shimmering ripples appear even more tranquil against the backdrop of green trees and red fruits. At dusk in late autumn, the cliffs are covered with pale yellow Michelia flowers, and many unnamed wildflowers grow tenaciously along the roadside. The refreshing autumn breeze carries waves of delicate fragrance. On a spring night, you can gaze at the stars and listen quietly to the mountain springs flowing down.

Not far from the city center, beside the Meilin Reservoir, lies such an urbanite’s dream paradise — surrounded by green hills and rippling waters, it’s a place of exceptional beauty where tranquility can be found amid the bustle. Meilin, named in ancient times for its abundance of plum trees, now has hardly any left. Instead, lychee trees cover the hillsides, and the crimson lychees of Meilin offer a unique charm. Transportation: Take bus lines 30, 35, 201, 201 Interval Line, 218, 222, 334, 361 to Meilin Yicun Station, then walk north to the Meilin Reservoir.
