Nanping Lavender Dream Garden

　　Nanping Lavender Dream Garden is situated at the foot of the Qian San Bai Kan slope in Mangdang Mountain, Nanping, and was invested in by Taiwanese entrepreneur Chen Dongying. With a total investment of 10 million yuan, the garden covers an area of over 120 acres, of which 65 acres have been developed so far. Major attractions include the Lavender Garden, Grace Garden, Dream Garden, Forest Café, Happy Ivy House, Forest Love Whisper House, Herb Village, and Firefly Home. The entire scenic area, including its architectural features, is designed with a purple lavender theme, interspersed with purple azaleas, violets, and purple sunflowers, creating a sea of purple that fills the visitors’ view and evokes a romantic, dreamy atmosphere. The site also offers special features for young couples such as a wishing tree, happy tents, and a lavender essence workshop, allowing lovers to fully enjoy the dreamlike feeling of first love. The garden is especially popular among young couples. Since its trial opening in October 2011, it has attracted over 30,000 visitors annually, generating nearly 1 million yuan in tourism revenue. Due to its strong Taiwanese flavor, it was listed as a provincial rural tourism demonstration site by the Provincial Tourism Bureau in 2012.
