Beiguang Ten-Thousand-Mu Ecological Park

Beiguang Ten-Thousand-Mu Ecological Park

The Beiguang Ten-Thousand-Mu Ecological Park is located in Beiguang Township, Taigu County, known as a "natural oxygen warehouse." Nestled at the foot of the majestic Feng Mountain, the terrain is semi-hilly, covering areas such as Nan Zhang, Bei Zhang, Nan Guang, Jing Shen, and Xi Shan Di. With a total area of 15,000 mu, it is the finest exhibition area of the 50,000-mu green industry belt in Beiguang Township and a striking highlight in the development of a large-scale eco-industrial economy.

The location of Beiguang Ecological Park features a temperate continental climate with distinct seasons, an average annual temperature of 9.8°C, a frost-free period of 175 days, and annual precipitation of 462.9 mm. With abundant sunlight and significant diurnal temperature variations, it is one of the best regions in northern China for high-quality fruit production. The park boasts rich resources of jujube fruits and a beautiful ecological environment. Over 200,000 century-old jujube trees, along with more than 100,000 apple, pear, peach, and other fruit trees representing ten major northern varieties and over 120 cultivars, create a picturesque scene, making it an ideal destination for modern agriculture and eco-tourism. Among them, the jujube orchard primarily features three of China’s most famous jujube varieties: Taigu Huping Jujube, Pear Jujube, and Lang Jujube, along with over 100 ornamental types such as Gourd Jujube, Grinding Wheel Jujube, Dragon Beard Jujube, and Winter Jujube, truly earning the title of the "Taigu Jujube Museum."

Currently, the Beiguang Township Party Committee and government have fully integrated the park’s fruit resource advantages. Building on the joint development of a 3,000-mu organic and pollution-free jujube production base with Taiyuan Hengfeng Company, they have made preliminary plans based on fruit tree planting layouts, focusing on developing a new industry that combines modern agriculture with eco-tourism. Within five years, they aim to gradually develop a 15,000-mu base for organic and pollution-free dried and fresh fruits, including a 10,000-mu organic and pollution-free jujube base, a 2,000-mu organic and pollution-free peach base, a 1,500-mu organic and pollution-free bagged apple base, and a 1,500-mu organic and pollution-free bagged pear base. At the same time, by improving production conditions such as water, electricity, and roads within the park, seven functional zones will be established: a reception center, hotel, villa area, theme park, leisure and entertainment zone, agritainment service area, and fruit-picking zone. This will form a tourism region integrating eco-sightseeing, leisure vacationing, and fruit-picking experiences.

Once completed, the Beiguang Ten-Thousand-Mu Ecological Park will annually supply over 100,000 tons of various organic and pollution-free dried and fresh fruits to society, achieving sales revenue of over 200 million yuan. It will become the largest supply base for such fruits in Taigu and even the entire city, playing a positive exemplary and driving role in the scaling, branding, and industrialization of specialty agriculture. In addition, the ten-thousand-mu ecological park will interact synergistically with numerous cultural and ecological tourism attractions within the township, such as Sanduo Hall, Shengguo Temple, Fruit Tree Research Institute Ecological Park, Shennong Manor, Santai Folk Culture Village, Ten-Thousand-Mu Facility Agriculture Park, and Xi Shan Di High-End Business Leisure Zone, collectively forming the most dynamic green eco-industrial economic demonstration zone in central Shanxi.
