Meibao Agricultural Sightseeing Park

Meibao Agricultural Sightseeing Park

Meibao Agricultural Sightseeing Park is one of the Jin Merchant homeland’s most harmonious and ecologically charming economic and cultural leisure tourism destinations — part of the Golden Taigu Leisure Tourism Area.

Taigu County boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage, once famous in history as the “Golden Taigu,” “Little Beijing,” “Dry Port,” and “China’s Wall Street.” Meibao Ecological Park is located at the foot of Fengshan Mountain — a feng shui treasure land within the Golden Taigu — in Beiwang Township. It neighbors the Fruit Tree Research Institute of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences and a national agricultural tourism demonstration site, and lies 12 kilometers from downtown Taigu. Situated along the access route to the Nanshan Tourism Area, it is surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of orchards, offering blooming flowers in spring, fruit in autumn, cool breezes in summer, and snow in winter. When unburdened by worldly worries, it becomes a perfect time in this earthly paradise. The air here is filled with the fragrance of fruit, creating its own unique microclimate — making it an ideal destination for leisure, summer retreats, and vacations.

This ecological park was invested and built in 2006 by Guo Meiqin, Chairwoman of the Meibao Group. In just a few short years, it has completely transformed the former barren hills and overgrown slopes. After taking over, Chairwoman Guo invested substantial manpower, resources, and capital to build irrigation channels, roads, level the land, dig wells, install power lines, and plant trees. On average, it provides year-round employment for more than 50 surplus rural laborers, with an annual per capita income of 15,000 yuan. With an investment of over 5.8 million yuan, the resort includes “Five Courtyards” and “One Treasure” — namely the “Xi Character Courtyard,” “Treasure Gourd Courtyard,” “Flower Ping Courtyard,” “Ingot Courtyard,” and “Farmhouse Fun Courtyard.” The One Treasure refers to the “Mountain Guardian Treasure — the Treasure Gourd.” It also features “Five Wonders” and “One Exhibition” — including an early (jujube) fruit-bearing tree, a monkey (apricot) tree, a century-old apricot tree, a thousand-year-old locust tree, and a rare animal zoo. The One Exhibition is the Farming Culture Exhibition. There are also “Seven Gardens” and “One Battle Zone.” The Seven Gardens consist of a vegetable garden, apple orchard, pear orchard, peach orchard, grape vineyard, cherry orchard, and jujube orchard; the One Battle Zone is a real-life CS combat base.

Spanning tens of thousands of acres of lush green orchards, boundless and vibrant, it is one of China’s rare four-season wellness havens. Here you can fish, collect eggs from the grass, go mud fishing, shoot and pick fruits, soothe your liver and lungs, enjoy grains and cereals, sip wine for pleasure, cultivate your mind and character, take forest walks, bathe in mountain streams, harvest fresh fruit, and enjoy leisurely summer retreats. With flowers in spring and fruit in autumn, mountains covered in red produce, crisp high skies, forest hikes, cherry orchard fruits, and fresh sprouts and wild greens, it is a leisure tourism sanctuary integrating natural ecology, rustic farm fun, vacation retreats, and hands-on harvesting.

The healthy development of Meibao Ecological Park reflects the correct vision of the Taigu County Party Committee and Government, and has received support and help from all sectors of society. Within the next three years, the ecological park plans to build a new artificial lake, two experiential planting gardens, a small ornamental zoo, a star-rated farmhouse restaurant, and a practice base for primary and secondary school students. Output value will double, providing employment for more than 100 surplus rural workers with an income increase of 20,000 yuan per person. Its continuously expanding scale will establish it as a distinctive, standardized ecological leisure and vacation destination in Shanxi Province.

We warmly invite all guests to come for fruit picking, fishing, vacationing, sipping tea, discussing strategy games, tasting wild game, exploring the countryside, staying in cave dwellings, and sharing the flavors of farm life.
