Xiangxue Park
Located in Luogang Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou, Xiangxue Park is about 30 kilometers from the city center and covers an area of 80 hectares. The park is named after the renowned former scenic wonder of old Guangzhou, “Luogang Xiangxue” (Plum Blossoms Like Snow in Luogang).
Plum cultivation in Luogang began as early as the Song Dynasty. Thanks to its exceptional natural conditions, the plum trees often bloom twice. The blossoms come in red and white, with single or double calyxes. Around the end of the lunar year and around the Winter Solstice, the plum blossoms are in full bloom—snow-like in their profusion, with graceful, dancing shadows and fragrant breezes wafting through the air. Visitors flock here to admire the snow-like blossoms and stroll among the plum trees, turning the area into a bustling hub of activity. Hence, the picturesque scene of “Luogang Xiangxue” was born. The highest peak in Xiangxue Park is Luofeng Mountain, which features striking rocks, lush trees, and fruit trees covering the slopes, offering numerous beautiful sights. At the mountain’s foot lie the Yuyan Academy and the Luofeng Temple, which stands just a wall apart from the academy and is built against the mountainside. The temple houses calligraphy and paintings by historical figures such as Hai Rui, Zhu Xi, Zheng Banqiao, and Wen Tianxiang, exuding a scholarly aura rarely found in ordinary temples. The overall landscape of Xiangxue Park is divided into ten themed areas: the “Luogang Xiangxue” Theme Area, Religious Culture Area, Four Seasons Scenic Area, Pomegranate Fragrant Stream Area, Jade Seal Overlook, Jungle Listening to Orioles, and more. Once completed, it will become a year-round tourist destination where winter brings white plum blossoms, summer features red lychee fruits, and cultural charm abounds in every season.
