Peach Blossom Valley in Baiyun Mountain

Peach Blossom Valley in Baiyun Mountain

Located in the Mingzhu Tower Scenic Area on the northern side of Baiyun Mountain, Peach Blossom Valley was established in 1960 and was once a well-known attraction in Baiyun Mountain. It was reopened after renovation in May 1999. The park covers an area of approximately 40,000 square meters. Themed around Tao Yuanming’s “Peach Blossom Spring” from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the garden is planted with numerous peach trees, complemented by rustic pavilions and corridors, lifelike rock formations, swaying bamboo groves, and various tropical plants. Combined with modern amusement features, the gently flowing springs and murmuring brooks create a tranquil mood, echoing the poetic sentiment of Tao Yuanming: “I pluck chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, and gaze afar at the southern mountains.” It truly gives visitors the impression of being in a paradise, unsure of whether they are in heaven or on earth.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a hermit who had seen through the vanity of the mortal world came to Baiyun Mountain. Upon discovering this picturesque land of green hills and clear waters, he was so captivated that he chose to settle here. He made planting peach blossoms his daily joy, and over time, peach trees covered the hills and valleys, hence the name Peach Blossom Valley.
