Xincheng Lavender Manor Scenic Area

　　The Xincheng Lavender Manor tourism project is situated in Xincheng County, Laibin City, which is part of one of Guangxi’s six premium tourism routes. With a total investment of 800 million yuan and covering an area of approximately 3,000 mu, it is a comprehensive tourism service zone integrating agricultural sightseeing, a wedding photography base, a film and television shooting base, lavender deep-processing industry, a specialty economic nursery, and an herb market.

　　As the largest herb plantation in Guangxi, the manor is planted with hundreds of herb varieties, allowing visitors to experience nearly all the fragrances from around the world, among which lavender occupies the largest planting area. Currently, the main flowers cultivated in the manor include lavender, verbena, verbena bonariensis, cosmos sulphureus, coreopsis, marguerite, sunflowers, and more. The manor continues to expand in scale and strengthen supporting facilities, as well as to extend and enlarge the contiguous lavender fields, aiming to become the world’s largest contiguous lavender plantation. Upon completion of the overall project, it is expected to attract an additional 600,000 visitors annually and create over 1,200 new jobs.

　　The 2014 China Tourism Festival Guangxi venue and the main venue of the Xincheng Lavender Festival were both held at Xincheng Lavender Manor. Themed “Chasing Dreams in the Sea of Flowers, A Fragrant Appointment in Xincheng,” the Lavender Festival was a grand event with wide influence, and to date, it has been the largest lavender festival in southern China. The event attracted tens of thousands of tourists for experiences and entertainment.
