Peach Blossom Spring Farmhouse

Peach Blossom Spring Farmhouse is situated in the northeastern part of Changshan County, at the source of Furong Lake, 45 kilometers from the county town and 3 kilometers from the township government. Originally called "Dayuan" (Big Source), it gained its current name during 1936–1937 when the Red Army, led by Fang Zhimin on the Northern Expedition to Resist Japan, established a red base in Xinqiao Township. As Red Army soldiers operated in the Dayuan area, one military officer was struck by the sight of blooming peach blossoms and used charcoal to write the words “境凝2桃源” (roughly translated as "a realm condensed into Peach Blossom Spring") on the farmhouse walls. Additionally, Dayuan is the birthplace of Wutao, a rare and prized variety of peach, which grows abundantly here. In spring, peach blossoms dot the stream that flows through the village, creating an atmosphere full of the charm of a classic Peach Blossom Spring. Since then, people have referred to "Dayuan" as "Peach Blossom Spring." The "Seventy-Two Households of Peach Blossom Spring" live along both sides of Peach Blossom Stream, surrounded by mountains, near water, shaded by green trees, and enveloped in bamboo forests. It has long been known as a “natural oxygen bar” and “natural bathing spot,” truly living up to the title of the “Little Jiuzhaigou of the South.” The Peach Blossom Spring scenic area has a forest coverage rate of 98%, lies at an altitude of 650 meters, and enjoys a summer average temperature of 22 degrees Celsius—making it a cool and ideal destination for escaping the heat. The area boasts abundant scenic spots, simple local customs, and a beautiful living environment, making it a perfect place for visitors to enjoy pastoral views, experience rural life, and relax.
