Lushan Sightseeing Agricultural Demonstration Village, Yubei District

　　The Lushan Agricultural Sightseeing Park was established in 1996, located just 3 kilometers from the urban area of Yubei District, making it very easily accessible. The area boasts abundant water resources, with three large reservoirs covering a water surface of over 280 acres, and 250 acres of dense pine forest adjacent to the lakes. There are also 1,900 acres of high-quality orchards, including 1,500 acres of peach orchards, 100 acres of loquat orchards, and 300 acres of pear orchards, creating a very beautiful environment. It is a new type of Lushan agricultural sightseeing park developed by Yubei District to boost suburban economy, build urban agriculture, and integrate planting, breeding, processing, and recreational activities. It serves as a sightseeing agricultural zone that combines scientific research, production, and tourism, and features demonstration, radiation, and driving functions.

　　To date, 1,500 acres of peach orchards, 400 acres of pear orchards, 100 acres of loquat orchards, 300 acres of flower gardens, 250 acres of pine-crane gardens, and 5,000 acres of wintersweet gardens have been developed, achieving cultivation on a scale that includes premium, special, new, and rare varieties. In addition, supporting facilities such as forest parks and various pavilions, temples, and monasteries have been built, and hot springs have been developed. Supported by family farms, the village has also constructed a grand flower garden. Flower cultivation in the village has become the “highlight” of Yubei District’s “Hundred-Mile Flower Corridor” construction project and a key element of the district’s “colorful” agriculture. Currently, the village produces 70,000 fresh-cut flowers, 200,000 potted plants, 210,000 potted bonsai, and 42,000 square meters of sod annually.

　　Currently, the village’s agricultural sightseeing tourism has taken initial shape with its “Six Demonstration Garden” areas. These include 1,500 acres of peach orchards, 400 acres of pear orchards, 100 acres of loquat orchards, 300 acres of flower gardens, 250 acres of pine-crane gardens, and 5,000 acres of wintersweet gardens, achieving cultivation on a scale that includes premium, special, new, and rare varieties. Supporting facilities such as forest parks and various pavilions, temples, and monasteries have been built, and hot springs have been developed. Lushan Sightseeing Agricultural Village now offers blooming flowers in spring, lush greenery in summer, abundant fruit in autumn, and proud wintersweet blossoms in winter, truly realizing greening, beautification, colorization, and aromatization. The area offers both high ornamental value and significant economic added value.
