Big Cherries of Longhu Town

Big Cherries of Longhu Town

　　Longhu Town is located in the northwest of Xinzheng City, 12 kilometers from Zhengzhou, covering a total area of 96 square kilometers. The town features undulating hills, crisscrossing ravines, and the winding Longhu Reservoir.

　　With its shimmering blue waters, rising mist, and ever-changing scenery, the reservoir resembles a giant dragon dancing when viewed from above—hence the name "Longhu" (Dragon Lake). On both sides of Cherry Valley, sheer cliffs rise thousands of feet, a marvel of nature akin to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River—steep, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful. Tens of thousands of cherry trees lie hidden within, their lush green canopies standing tall against the wind, while playful butterflies flit about, adding to the charm. The bright red cherries hang like crystal-clear pearls and agates among the green leaves, each one large, thin-skinned, and bursting with a rich fragrance that makes your mouth water. It’s a perfect destination for spring outings, enjoying the fresh air, admiring the scenery, and savoring delicious fruit. Visitors can bask in the warm sunshine and gentle breeze as they freely explore the winding Cherry Valley. Not only can they admire the cherry blossoms that adorn the branches like stars, but they can also pick the cherries themselves and taste the very first fruit of early spring.
