Farmers in the Zhuzihu area have diversified into the floral industry. In addition to calla lilies, the cool, damp climate and slightly acidic soil of Zhuzihu are particularly well-suited for growing hydrangeas. The government also provides subsidies to farmers for planting hydrangea seedlings. The number of local farmers cultivating hydrangeas has been steadily increasing to ensure stable hydrangea production and promote the diversified development of leisure industries in Zhuzihu.
Colorful and vibrant hydrangeas.
There are approximately seven to eight varieties of hydrangeas grown in Zhuzihu, offering a diverse range of colors including pure white, pink with red edges, pink, purplish-red, light blue, and blue. The flower sizes vary, featuring both large and medium blooms scattered throughout the farms. With their richly saturated hues and layered tones, the hydrangeas add a dynamic and ever-changing charm, making them perfect for photography. Many visitors also plan to enjoy afternoon tea and seasonal dishes at the on-site farm restaurants, cafés, or dining spots, making it an excellent choice for a short trip near the city.
The hydrangea fields are incredibly beautiful and a popular spot for photos and social media posts.
From late May to early July, six hydrangea farms in Zhuzihu and Dingshan offer visitors flower viewing and photo opportunities. These include Caifu Calla Lily Farm, Huagu Calla Lily Garden, Mingyangpu Leisure Farm, Dashangyuan, Datitianhua Floral Eco-Farm, and Gaojia Hydrangea Garden. Visitors are advised to contact the farms in advance or make reservations for meals.
Blue-purple hydrangeas are especially favored by flower-viewing tourists.
